Mayor Bloomberg: Police Officers Should Not Protect Americans Until Strict Gun Control Is Enacted - This is INSANE
Mayor Bloomberg: Police Officers Should Not Protect Americans Until Strict Gun Control Is Enacted
You can now see why this clown had to spend $103 million to get reelected mayor in NYC (and still only barely won). Bloomberg on CNN said the he doesn’t understand why police officers don’t go on strike until something’s done about guns.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg is calling for drastic action to get lawmakers to crack down on guns in the wake of the massacre in Colorado.
He believes the nation’s police officers have it in their power to get political leaders moving on gun control.
Appearing on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” on Monday, the mayor urged police officers, who stand in the front lines against violent criminals, to take a stand to prompt Congress to renew the expired federal ban on assault weapons.
“I don’t understand why the police officers across this country don’t stand up collectively and say, ‘We’re gonna go on strike. We’re not going to protect you unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what’s required to keep us safe,’” Bloomberg said.
“After all, police officers want to go home to their families and we’re doing everything we can to make their jobs more difficult,” the mayor added.

UPDATE;
Bloomberg walks back statement...but just a wee bit.- Wild Thing
“I didn’t mean literally go on strike,” he said at a Tuesday event about the economic impact of same-sex marriage. “In fact, in New York, they can’t go on strike. There’s a law against it.”

Wild Thing's comment......
He not only owes EVERY American an apology for that ill thought out comment, he needs to step the hell down from his position.
Absolutely disgusting.

The reason is Bloomingidiot is that most cops are against gun control. Most true cops know that their biggest ally is a lawfully armed American Citizen.

...Mayor Gloomberg should be investigated for fomenting insurrection by advocating a law enforcement strike. His "walkback" was pre-planned and bogus. Bloomberg believes that as N.Y.C. Mayor-For-Life, he is in a position to dictate the rules for the entire U.S. of A. There is some truth to this-the "blueist" states and cities often take their cues from Gloomberg's pontifications . Gloomberg wants to take my gun so I won't be able to stop him from taking my 'Big Gulp"....

Is Bloomberg including his own ARMED police guards in that strike proposal?

Mmmm, Let's see, the city with the second strictest gun control laws in the country...and the second highest rate of gun crimes in the country.
Hey Bloomingidiot, just how are those laws working for ya, again?
Liberalism truly is a mental disease.
