Yay: New York Metropolis’s pro-crime left has been handed a partial defeat in its infinite assault on the NYPD.
The taxpayer-funded Authorized Assist Society, a key participant within the battle of Gotham progressives to cede the streets to thugs and killers, went to court docket to attempt to pressure the division to show over the pictures and tax ID numbers for all “lively members.”
Such a disclosure, after all, would serve no legit objective.
Why on earth would a company tasked with offering authorized providers to poor folks want a Rolodex of pictures and tax data for each cop within the Large Apple?
Effectively …
To intimidate these cops.
To show them into potential targets for criminals, and maybe the assorted profession protesters and worse who do the trendy left’s soiled work.
Above all, to hinder them from defending the general public.
The request was an excessive amount of even for Choose Arthur Engoron — whose essential declare to fame is stage-managing Donald Trump right into a enterprise fraud conviction waaaay exterior any regular authorized bounds.
He rightly identified that since Authorized Assist will not be “certain by confidentiality,” this could be like “having a billboard in Occasions Sq. posting the pictures, names and tax identification numbers of each police officer.”
Then once more, Engoron left open the chance that he may grant a follow-up request tailor-made to “exclude materials that might compromise police security.”
Hmm, that might imply: I’m blissful to assist screw over the cops, guys — simply tone it down slightly, wouldja?
And if Engoron fails to oblige, you may anticipate Public Advocate Jumaane Williams or mayoral hopeful Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani to suggest a metropolis or state legislation demanding what Engoron refused.
The left’s assault on policing is inexorable — but it surely should be resisted, on all fronts, or public security will vanish like smoke.
