The NYPD is policing Jewish mothers while the city burns
Bethany MandelJune 2, 2020

As New York City burned and was gutted for a second night in a row, one couldn’t help but wonder, where are the NYPD?

As the iconic Macy’s flagship store in Herald Square was broken into and looted, video from nearby journalists showed the police standing by, waiting for the curfew set to kick in at 11, as if some magic switch would empower them to uphold the law and defend New York businesses.

Across Midtown Manhattan, the picture looked the same: Roving groups of teenagers and young 20-somethings broke storefront windows and grabbed everything they could in such a casual manner you’d think they were shopping in Before Times. There was no sense of urgency in their “shopping,” emboldened by the fact that the police department wasn’t doing anything to stop the mayhem.

Mayor DeBlasio, you’re wanted on the WHITE curtesy phone.... Mayor DeBlasio, you’re needed on the WHITE curtesy phone...mayor? Hello? Mayor? Hey! Pick up the phone, stupid!

Sounds like a page out of Terry McAuliffe's playbook.
