NYC City Council overrides Mayor Bloomberg's veto of Community Safety Act

The council across the Hudson issued a stinging veto override to Mayor Bloomberg last night in upholding their intent of the Community Safety Act in both setting up an independent inspector general and also allowing citizens who feel they have been profiled to sue not for money but corrective action. The veto override on the inspector general was expected and not nearly as contentious with the vote being 39-10 for the override. The part allowing citizens to sue was very contentious and the override passed by the razor thin margin 34-15. So, how did the Mayor take this? Oh read on citizen, he was angry friends, and Council President Christine Quinn is off the holiday card list:

“We cannot afford to play election year politics with the safety of our city, and we cannot afford to roll back the progress of the past 20 years,” he said. “This bill jeopardizes that progress and will put the lives of New Yorkers and our police officers at risk.”

And then a 'Leave Britney Alone' moment:

“Over the past year, the greatest police department in the world has been subjected to constant attacks from elected officials and special interest groups.”

And then to everyone else involved in keeping his cops accountable:

“Today’s vote is an example of election-year politics at its very worst and political pandering at its most deadly.” (Deadly? A recent study showed when stop and frisk dropped in numbers so did crime --ed)

So where to next? The Mayor promises to sue to force the good people of New York City to to accept the fact he knows all and is all powerful.

And he has a mere three months to do just that.

An open letter to Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association in NYC

Dear Ed,

Go screw yourself. We've all heard enough whining from Mike Bloomberg on the Community Safety Act to last us a lifetime. Word is the Mayor might even be dangling good paying jobs to get councilmen  to switch their votes. But you, all you need is a .15¢ ball point pen to sound like an utter and complete whiner. The pens, which read “Community Safety Act — Presuming cops guilty since 2013,” will be handed out around town to somehow help teach citizens that police need zero oversight. What an effective and completely childish act Ed. A pen? A pen whining about city policy? Just what is your problem with oversight Ed? Oh, that's right, presumption of guilt. That's SO FUNNY you'd snivel about assumed guilt because Eddie baby, here's what YOU said about presuming people guilty in May 2013:

“If you’re not a terrorist, if you’re not a threat, prove it,” he says.

Ed, you shit for brains, what's the difference? One is police and the other is everyone else? More and more your police are the problem. Stop and frisks go down and so does your crime rate. Facts are facts bubby. Do you realize what an utter crybaby you sound like?

Take your pens, go get your money back on them, and grow up you duplicitous tool and go read the constitution all the way through which you obviously missed in school.

Best,
The Jersey City Desk Staff

Mayor Bloomberg vetoes the Community Safety Act

Yesterday while everyone was looking at Anthony Wiener's junk online, the actual Mayor vetoed the Community Safety Act which gives citizens more input in policing and appoints an Inspector General to oversee the, in our opinion, out of control NYC police. When someone who is paying out millions and millions in lawsuits for a wide-ranging array of cop offenses tells you they need no oversight, yeah, they need oversight.

The city council is expected to override Bloomberg's temper tantrum but that doesn't mean the mayor won't try to get back at those who voted for the Community Safety Act to begin with.

Jesus Bloomberg can be an idiot. Is it November yet?

The Jersey City Desk would like to congratulate new New York City Mayor Christine Quinn!

With the new disclosures of Carlos Danger it would appear that the seas have now parted and your crown awaits on a throne in City Hall. Just don't back down to Mayor Mike on the Community Safety Act, don't show your lady parts online and the job is yours. We wish you well in your time as Mayor (remember, two terms only) but if you still see the Countess Chocula tag around here you did that picture to yourself. We kid because we love.

Carlos Danger, lol, what a thimble-headed gherkin.
