They'll do anything to stop him I bet. NYPD is an occupying army.

As in like an invasive species?

Genuinely asking (I don't know that much about USA politics etc) - how much is his life at risk?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Since he's a left winger? Yes. Four centerists were shot last week in Minnesota for the crime of having a "D" next to their names.

Thankfully NYC has some seriously strict gun laws, but that won't stop the extremely motivated right wingers from murdering whomever they want.

Since he's targeting one of the best funded ~~gangs~~ organized crime institutions in the country, they are the most likely suspects to murder him.

Yes, that is what I was thinking too.

Broader historically looking more "socialist" politicians were targeted when they started talking against police or megacorps. And this one is both.

In a fight between NYC and LA cops, who would win?

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 72 points 1 day ago (2 children)

LA cops would physically beat the NYC cops, but the NYC cops would shoot a lot of bystanders before they got in beating range.

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't forget during Dorner Week, LAPD lit up an awful lot of innocent bystanders, too.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They were shooting at those people though. NYPD is absurdly inaccurate due to lack of training and absurd trigger pull weights.

[–] sprite0@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

they went back to 5lb trigger pulls years ago

Maybe we could set up a battle royale; tell them the side that wins gets all of the other sides' paramilitary equipment.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 17 points 1 day ago

everyone except the cops?

Why crop the timestamps? sus

[–] thanksforallthefish 5 points 1 day ago

The pandemic reference dates it anyway

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Didn't Twitter get rid of timestamps?

How much do the mayor and governor need to see eye to eye to get real work done?
