De Blah doubles down on decision not to hire more cops amid crime surge
2021-07-03
[NYPOST] Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
doubled down Friday on his controversial decision not to hire more cops even amid the Big Apple’s surging crime wave and after President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S., who gives the geriatric a bad name......
provided federal funds for the move.
When asked about The Post’s coverage of his decision not to bring on more coppers after receiving $6 billion in federal COVID-19 relief — which President Biden explicitly said could be used for tackling crime issues — the mayor told WNYC radio’s Brian Lehrer, "That’s not the whole reality.

"The money that the president focused was for certain cities that were dealing with much more profound gun-violence problems than New York is," de Blasio claimed during his weekly appearance on Lehrer’s show.

"We have a problem, Brian. I’m not trying to minimize it. We have a lot of work to do to turn around. But a number of other American cities unfortunately are going through much, much worse, and that’s where that money was targeted," de Blasio said.

The mayor had falsely claimed Thursday that Biden was talking about other cities when the president said federal coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
funding could be used to pay for more cops.

A White House source had told The Post that de Blasio was "incorrect.

"Cities like New York that are experiencing a spike in gun violence as a result of the pandemic are eligible to use [the] money to hire additional coppers above a pre-pandemic baseline level to help address that," the source said.

#3  If they would just legalize everything their crime problem would vanish.

If I lived in your jurisdiction, Billy Boy, I'd feel safer now!
