#1 Just what do you want them to do?

Whatever Our LEO's do, you make it sound evil.

You had better back off unless you want to live in a third world shithole like the rest of the "jornos" behind bars for not towing the party line.

You, through history, have proven yourselves to be a disgraceful organization.

Morally bereft, seeking public admiration, begging the question, selective or non reporting, and screwing around with the corrupt static line politics.
You may have been un-willing accomplices to many, many souls taken from this place. WWII is your record.

You call this war on the cops off to, you tyrant fluffers.

#2 After making sure that doing their jobs is no longer possible?

#3 This could be progress.

When the NYT starts sounding like the great Calvin Coolidge and cannot comprehend the irony, something must be right in the world.

#5 What's interesting is, according to the numbers, the NYPD is still on the job on actual crime.
What they've cut back on are traffic enforcement, tickets, parking violations, and low end stuff like arresting people for selling cigarettes (wonder why?)
As in, fee generators for the city.

#6 Sure. Times delivery truck double parked and obstructing traffic? Tag and tow. No blinker on that turn? Tagged. Pinchy's limo double parked in front of headquarters? Tag and tow. Permits all up to date? Those inspection stickers on the trucks expired? Smoking within 100 feet of the entrance to headquarters? Here's your summons.
Just doin our jobs...

#7 I was thinking of the same things, tu3031. You want law enforcement, Mr. Sulzburger, we got your law enforcement right here...

#8 It amounts to a public act of extortion by the police.

That’s strong language for a board that always attacks those opposed to unions as anti-worker. Then again, there was that time when the Newspaper Guild encouraged NYT staffers to strike over contract negotiations. So you never know.

#10 The NYTs ceded any journalistic responsibility and doing its job long ago. Irony defined.

#11 The NYPD has stopped its revenue generation activities. It is still doing police work. And NYers love it.

I suspect NYT's real concern is that people will start to clue in about how much "police work" is just gathering cash at gun point.

#12 #9 How different this world might be if the New York Times did its job.

It is doing its assigned work - assigned by Democrat Pols, Liberals and Socialists as well as racial agitators. Making a profit? Pshaw!

#13 And the Border Patrol?

Do as we say, not as we do. If they didn't have double standards, they'd have none at all.

#14 As I recall, the NYT was strangely supportive of trash collector and teacher slowdowns. Maybe they've "evolved?"
