Respect Begets Respect.…

Once again mem­bers of the New York City Police Department demon­strat­ed for the World that con­trary to the con­trived hype about their Organization being the best, they are real­ly a bunch of dis­re­spect­ful thugs.

As they did when Mayor Bill deBlasio vis­it­ed Woodhull Hospital after two of their col­leagues Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were alleged­ly killed by Ismaaiyl Brinsley, sup­pos­ed­ly as they sat in their patrol cars on a Brooklyn street. 
They once again demon­strat­ed the dis­re­spect they dish out to cit­i­zens daily. 
Once again to the Mayor, this time with the sup­port of oth­ers who trav­eled to the city to attend funer­al ser­vices for Ramos.
Even as they demon­strat­ed their rep­re­hen­si­ble dis­re­spect to the Mayor, they suc­ceed­ed in show­ing the world just how disrespectful,arrogant, and out of con­trol American cops tru­ly are.
Yes those who trav­eled from oth­er cities who joined in the shock­ing dis­play of dis­re­spect to the city’s Mayor also tar­nished the uni­forms of the cities and the States they came from. Ultimately they showed the rest of the world that in America the final author­i­ty is police author­i­ty . America is a total police state. A place now where even elect­ed offi­cials are afraid of the pow­er of the police.
If these police Agencies can behave this way to a Caucasian Mayor, a man of pow­er, what are their actions when they engage cit­i­zens in poor neigh­bor­hoods? Unfortunately that is the rea­son we are here, this is the full cir­cle response that brought us to this place of lamen­ta­tion and mourning.

Once again the chief archi­tect of NYPD dis­re­spect, Rudolph Giuliani insert­ed him­self into the brouha­ha by stat­ing on CBS face the Nation quote. 

“As long as de Blasio con­tin­ues count­ing the Rev. Al Sharpton among his clos­est allies, he deserves cops’ dis­trust”, Giuliani said.“When he los­es Al Sharpton maybe then he can have a bet­ter rela­tion­ship with the New York City Police Department,” Giuliani said. “If you would like to have a poster boy for hat­ing the police, it’s Al Sharpton.” “Mayor de Blasio, please say you’re sor­ry,” Giuliani said on “Face the Nation.” “He cre­at­ed an impres­sion with the police that he was on the side of the protesters.”

Never once did El Deuce Giuliani men­tion that part of the rea­son the NYPD is such a dis­re­spect­ful bunch of thugs is because he led a drunk­en throng of them in 1992 onto the steps of city hall in an attempt to intim­i­date then Mayor David Dinkins ‚the city’s first African American Mayor. The divi­sive lit­tle self-serv­ing turd nev­er men­tioned that there he goad­ed them to dish out rep­re­hen­si­ble, racist invec­tive at Mayor Dinkins.
“He cre­at­ed the impres­sion with the police that he was on the side of the pro­test­ers” Eric Garner was choked to death in broad day­light by Daniel Pantaleo on a video which need­ed no enhanc­ing for clar­i­ty. Yet a police boot-lick­ing grand jury on Staten Island made the deci­sion that the black man’s life was not worth indict­ing one of their own. 
That is American Justice. 
On whose side should a con­sci­en­tious Mayor be? Shouldn’t any and every­one be on the side of fair­ness and justice.
How could a self pro­mot­ing Giuliani who is a lawyer by trade fail to make the con­nec­tion that jus­tice must be served for all if the sys­tem is to work? Or should the sys­tem only work for Giuliani and his Italian and oth­er European American friends? Is that what America is all about?
Or is that what America is all about?
To those hyp­ocrites in long robes who sup­pos­ed­ly rep­re­sent and preach God’s word, your hell will be worse than that of those who mur­der the innocent. 
You who stand there in front of a sea of cops and lament and thank the cops for what they do, yet nev­er have a word of kind­ness for the fam­i­lies of the under-served, the pow­er­less, the down-trodden.
You are Charlatans. 
You are Devils , wolves in sheep clothing. 
You who remain silent when the inno­cent lives of the poor and pow­er­less are being squeezed out of their very being, as they say with their last breath “I can’t breath”,I can’t breathe”” I can’t breathe”.
You remain silent.
Now you pon­tif­i­cate in front of a sea of blue !!!
Ask your­selves , what would Jesus do?
You are hea­thens who have no respect for human­i­ty. You are Pharisees, no won­der peo­ple are turn­ing from the Church, you are Impostors. !
Police have no more right to life than any­one else.
Police have no more right to respect than any­one else.
Police have no more right to thanks than any oth­er set of workers.
Police offi­cers are paid to do a job, those who fall over and pros­trate them­selves at the foot of police and their unions do so because they are not sub­ject to the harsh cru­el­ty of Police aggres­sion abuse and murder.

Are all police offi­cers bad ? 
No !
But police are sup­posed to police the rest of us thats the start­ing point, so they must be held to a high­er stan­dard. It fol­lows there­fore that when police com­mit atroc­i­ties against the very peo­ple they are sworn to pro­tect and their col­leagues do noth­ing it makes them all guilty. 
We must sup­port police to do the job we ask them to, and we must sub­ject them to the same laws that every­one else is sub­ject to.
Unless of course what they are asked to do is not the same for everyone.
As Commissioner Bill Bratton reit­er­at­ed part of his own eulo­gy, not­ing that cops need to have more empa­thy for con­cerns about police abuse, par­tic­u­lar­ly in black com­mu­ni­ties. “I made com­ments yes­ter­day in my eulo­gy about see­ing each oth­er to under­stand,” Bratton said. “When I say ‘see each oth­er,’ that means to not look past each oth­er, but to real­ly see what is moti­vat­ing what we’re experiencing.”

Yes what they are expe­ri­enc­ing is some blow-back from the pain of those who feel they can get no jus­tice. No jus­tice in the way Police treat them. No jus­tice in the way the crim­i­nal Justice System responds to their com­plaints. No jus­tice or empa­thy from those who sup­port those who abuse them. Maybe its time mem­bers of the NYPD chuck the Giuliani , Patrick Lynch approach and embrace the lat­est advice of Commissioner Bratton . This may save then a lot of heart-ache, it would save a lot of pain on both sides if they spend time re-train­ing and re-ori­ent­ing, rather than trolling social media look­ing for threats against them. Building bridges through respect is the best secu­ri­ty ‚not erect­ing more walls and look­ing over their shoulders.
