That's good for most New Yorkers, but isn't the taser a more popular law enforcement weapon these days since it disables the perp? Would like to see the stats on taser use from NYC, because as firearm discharges have gone down I'll bet taser use has climbed

No, they just mace sitting protestors now.

Besides a taser is funnier, and actual police work takes a back seat to the "compliance by pain and intimidation doctrine"


Thanks Bloomberg, Not every mayor has a newspaper to spew garbage from.
Maybe one day I will tell you about how He blocked Rudy Guiliani from a third term after 9-11 when he was a member of the city council..Then had that law killed when he decided he wanted a third term. (oh, I just did) I really love Wall Street Billionaire politicians, don't you?

Go ahead, defend him ....

Not defending him but I would like to point out that The New York Times is not owned by Mr. Bloomberg. Just pointing this out as I understood from your post that you are referring to OP article as "garbage".

Not what I meant to infer. I actually like the NY Times. It is a local paper to me. Editorials are hit or miss, but the news articles itself is good journalism.

I just see this as an attempt to "sanitize" the image of the NYPD in light of some recent events going on in the city. The police have a nasty reputation with some of the extreme tactics they have taken up recently.

My bad. Bloomy owns Bloomberg News network.
I should have made some kind of differentiation. But my fingers sometimes type the words faster then my brain can proofread for sense.
