The city of Rochester is FUBARed.
Today, stuttering behind a lectern, the mayor condemned a handful of city cops for backing up law enforcement officers who called for help.
It was Malik at his worst, it was progressivism at its most disgusting. In a city where the murder of a legal immigrant hasn’t elicited a response from City Hall or the Sixth Floor, the mayor and the chief have taken some 10 cops off the street because of the handcuffing of two illegal immigrants.
On the day a mother got sentenced for leaving her baby to be dismembered by pit bulls while she went to smoke marijuana, the thing Mayor Numb and Chief Nuts called a press conference to denounce was cops answering a call for help.
It was Monday night, at Lyell and Whitney, one of the easier places in Rochester to get shot, and Homeland Security was doing a traffic stop. This is America. They’re allowed to do that. They were effecting a traffic stop pursuant to their federal duties and at some point, with eight subjects in a van, things got cockeyed and somebody called for backup.
That means officers in trouble.
That means somebody with a badge and a gun could die.
And while that’s no big deal to people who key Teslas, it will draw a response from other people who wear a badge and a gun. And the RPD came running. Just like they come running every time anybody calls for help. It’s in their job description. It’s in their DNA. The blue and whites flocked and pretty soon there were maybe 10 Rochester officers at the scene.
Ten men and women who descended on a scene at which other law enforcement officers had judged there to be a possible threat.
They descended on the scene and they secured the scene. Which I’m pretty sure is something they learn at cop school. You don’t have to watch too many YouTubes of cops getting shot to realize that when the stuff is in the wind you should make sure the various loitering homies aren’t going to pull a gun out of their saggy baggies and blow you away.
And that is what the officers seem to have done. They looked in the van, they had contact with the subjects, and, according to Dumb and Ass, one of the officers assisted federal agents in removing two of the individuals from the vehicle and handcuffing them.
That’s what happened. Nobody got maced, tased, shot or called the F-word. Just a bunch of officers showed up, to rejigger the math of the confrontation, and two guys, without force or resistance, got handcuffed.
And Dumb and Dumber are outraged.
Because Rochester is a sanctuary city, which means it’s a great place to steal a Kia and the best place to be an illegal alien. And in a town where some 50 Americans get handcuffed on the average day, Frick and Frack pissed their pants because two illegal aliens, for officer safety, got handcuffed.
Let me translate that for you: That means Puss and Boots like people who broke into our country more than they like born-and-raised Rochesterians. It may also mean that Malik the Weak is getting nervous about that primary against Mary Lupien. When it comes to woke Democrats, the only way to beat stupid is with more stupid.
And this was stupid.
This was two years of a steady hand at the tiller blown to smithereens with a headlong leap into the absurd. This was a two-minute reminder on the evening news that you should thank God you don’t live in the city of Rochester. This was the reason “lateral transfer” was trending on local search engines.
This was, hopefully, enough to bring down the wrath of Homan on the Flower City -- named for the action end of the marijuana plant. Federal officers were in trouble, Rochester officers came to their assistance, and those Rochester officers got jacked up by Peter and Principle.
And this comes a week before the application deadline to take the next Rochester Police Department test. You’ve got to figure this will really help recruitment.
Here’s my conclusion: This is bullshit.
Two weak men called a press conference to denounce strong men who did their legal and moral duty. Dog and Crap put black marks on the careers of maybe a dozen officers, all to virtue signal their woke bona fides.
And the people of Rochester turned off the evening news astounded by the stupidity of their mayor and police chief, dumbfounded to learn that the brass hates the cops that much.
