• Better stock up on guns, Mayor Bloomburg wants the police to go on strike.

  Mayor Bloomberg wants cops to go on strike across the country unless legislation is passed banning guns across the country. READ ARTICLE HERE

  This is the same mayor that wants to ban large soda’s and jumbo popcorn. 

  What in the hell is wrong with this nations mayors??? 

  Don’t worry though, he thinks the cops should still carry guns, you know, for their protection. 

   

  **edit**Interesting factoids from the above linked article:

  • In 2008, ten times more civilians regular people were killed by cops than cops were killed by perps.
  • In 2011, 72 cops were shot and killed in the entire U.S.; in L.A. County alone, cops shot and killed 54 suspects the same year–22 percent of those people were unarmed. 
  • As Scott Reeder reported at Reason this morning, “Farmers, ranchers, commercial fishermen, loggers, garbage collectors, truck drivers, construction workers, pilots, steel workers, roofers, and others are far more likely to face death on the jobs than police or firefighters, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.”
  • And as Choire Sicha wrote earlier this year, “2008 was the ten-year low for police officers being killed, and 2012 is, so far, year-to-date, down 49% from last year.”
