This is a “I told you so story.” With all the anti police rhetoric, and the death of St. George of Fentanyl, and two incompetent New York City Mayors, its no wonder New York City subways have turned into something out of The Warriors. Since New Yorks Finest are leaving in droves and the ones left don’t want to end up like Daniel Penny so they do nothing. Governor Kathy Hochul has a solution: deploy MTA police, New York State Police and National Guard troops to keep the peace.
But leave it to liberals to mess it up! One of the tools for a soldier is a rifle! Especially for a security detail. But; Governor Hochul told the National Guard Troops not to carry rifles while performing TSA bag checking duties.
This is nothing but a dog and pony show. 75 Radio is in the business of finding solutions, not just complaining about it. The solution is simple. 1) Call the New York State Legislature back in session to repeal all the criminal justice reforms. If the legislature refuses to budge, the governor can cut off funding, move migrants into their districts or move DOC halfway houses in their districts, or allow fracking, power plants or some other eyesore.
2) Remove Alan Bragg from office. The governor has the authority to do so. Alan Bragg is a disgrace to District Attorney’s everywhere. Bragg makes the infamous Bronx DA Robert Johnson look like Roy Bean! If Bragg is removed all other pro criminal District Attorneys will fall in line or be removed.
3) Bring back the “Black Patches.” The “Black Patches” was a term for the New York City Transit Police. I had the pleasure and honor to work with the last of these great warriors after the merge in 1995. The Transit Police answered to the Transit Police, not One Police Plaza. And they took care of business! Some grizzled old timer with a six shooter and wooden baton could keep the peace better than all of the MTAPD, New York State Police and National Guard. Why!? Because the “Black Patches” didn’t take any shit, and were trained to survive and handle the situation; by themselves! I live in Washington, DC where the Transit Police is a complete joke! They can’t arrest fare beaters in DC! And I know from experience that these people that hop the gate have either drugs, weapons, a warrant or a combination!
This solution is cheap, efficient and effective. So it won’t happen.
