Policing comes to a virtual stop in New York. So, where’s all the chaos and the murder and the children smoking meth? We are constantly reminded by State institutions, from lecture halls to mainstream “news” organizations, that if it weren’t for the police out there arresting everybody, society would break down immediately.Do you want to know what would really happen if the police state ended? What would happen if, say, tomorrow, the war on drugs ended? About 80% of all the State functionaries from police and prison guards and prosecutors to court clerks and judges and school resource officers would have to find real jobs that people voluntarily pay them to do, since there would be no more need for them to enforce a corrupt war on drugs and generate revenue for the State. No more welfare for them. We are constantly reminded by State institutions, from lecture halls to mainstream “news” organizations, that if it weren’t for the police out there arresting everybody, society would break down immediately. Oh there will be the motorcycle gangs with flamethrowers invading supermarkets, the wild-eyed adolescents disobeying teachers and leaving school, the religious conservatives forming new dictatorships, the horde of unwashed illegal immigrants urinating on our golf courses, the rabid murder parties and fornication spilling onto the streets, zoo animals escaping and mauling the children — the end of human civilization. Well, there has finally been a “virtual stoppage” of police activity in New York, and the people there are… reading blogs, working, buying groceries, watching netflix, waiting in lines, saying hi to strangers, checking facebook. Same as usual. It looks like they haven’t murdered each other yet. Of course they haven’t. Do you want to know what would really happen if the police state ended? What would happen if, say, tomorrow, the war on drugs ended? About 80% of all the State functionaries from police and prison guards and prosecutors to court clerks and judges and school resource officers would have to find real jobs that people voluntarily pay them to do, since there would be no more need for them to enforce a corrupt war on drugs and generate revenue for the State. The owners of State-sponsored for-profit prisons would become bankrupt. About four million non-violent peaceful Americans — formerly called “criminals” for smoking a harmless plant — would be let out of steel cages and reunited with their loved ones. The few officers that were left would be forced to respond to real violent crimes instead of, say, issuing revenue-generating tickets for incomplete stops, raiding people’s homes, shooting dogs, throwing people in cages for smoking a plant, or killing people for selling untaxed cigarettes. RELATED: The Reason There is No Such Thing as a “Good Cop”: an Otherwise Normal Societal Need for Protection Becomes Inherently Corrupt When Government Monopolizes It The New York Post has released a study showing that NYPD tickets and arrests for minor offenses — non-violent offenses — have dropped by a whopping 94%. The drop coincides with the police union issuing instructions to the NYPD to stop arresting people unless it is absolutely necessary. This was done under the guise of “increasing officer safety” after two NYPD officers were executed. In reality, it is a de facto strike. The NYPD is mad at the mayor and other government bureaucrats, blaming the latter for the fact that the two officers were executed. By refusing to issue traffic tickets, by refusing to lock more people in cages for victimless crimes, the police are in effect starving the government of revenue. Here are the stats reported by the post: Angry [police] union leaders have ordered drastic measures for their members since the Dec. 20 assassination of two NYPD cops in a patrol car, including that two units respond to every call. It has helped contribute to a nose dive in low-level policing, with overall arrests down 66 percent for the week starting Dec. 22 compared with the same period in 2013, stats show. Citations for traffic violations fell by 94 percent, from 10,069 to 587, during that time frame. Summonses for low-level offenses like public drinking and urination also plunged 94 percent — from 4,831 to 300. Even parking violations are way down, dropping by 92 percent, from 14,699 to 1,241. Drug arrests by cops assigned to the NYPD’s Organized Crime Control Bureau — which are part of the overall number — dropped by 84 percent, from 382 to 63…. The Post obtained the numbers hours after revealing that cops were turning a blind eye to some minor crimes and making arrests only “when they have to” since the execution-style shootings of Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu. Friends, this is partly good news. Let’s hope those numbers get all the way to 100%. We can go about our lives and bring in 2015 with an epic celebration. (Assuming, of course, the agents of the police state don’t stage some kind of false flag disaster to gain relevance as our “protectors” again.) The de facto police strike unwittingly illustrates the true role of police: to empower, protect, and generate revenue for the State while keeping the people demoralized, scared, or poor. Because of the strike, we are now witnessing the reverse — more freedom for people, and less power for the State. Consider how much money Americans are saving just during this short period of non-policing. Suppose that 24,000 parking and traffic tickets had been issued, like they were in this same period in 2013, and suppose they were only $50 each (they are much more, but let’s be conservative). That’s over a million dollars saved by Americans. For many, that could mean the difference between paying for rent and dinner vs stressing out about financial problems. Consider all the families that haven’t been separated. There would have been around 400 drug arrests during this period last year. With only about 60 arrests since the de facto strike, that’s thousands of family members who wouldn’t be separated as their fathers, mothers, or kids are thrown in jail or felonized and forced into unemployment. If the NYPD were to continue this non-policing month after month, it would mean millions of jobs saved, millions of families not destroyed, and billions of dollars saved by Americans. If New York City is any indication, we would be better off without this institution. Watch the video below and learn why Police Statism is the ultimate threat to a well ordered society.

Those are incredible stats. Instead of the 10 percent pay cut I suggested, I think a 15 percent layoff would be better.
Its all there. It never goes away. Without law and order, society no longer exists. This epistle is asinine. As an ex New Yorker, try going without cops any time you wish, just try it.
Those that put forward the notion that crime is declining as the NYPD slows enforcement down to a crawl should book a trip to this liberal cesspool and check the assumption for themselves. Underreporting of crime has always existed. Typically 25-30 percent of crimes are not reported to police at all. These tend to be property crimes where the victim determines that it is a bother or useless to call the police. The property may not be insured, they don’t have serial numbers which would aid in identifying the stolen items, or they just don’t want to interact with the police for a variety of reasons. In addition to property crimes, other unreported crimes include muggings, assaults, thefts, and robberies that occur in remote areas, the parking lots of bars, or as a result of men seeking the services of prostitutes and being too embarrassed by the circumstances to contact police.
Thanks Jethro...first time seen that. Those that wish to hang all LEO irritate me. Good, bad or indifferent as each individual may be, in totality, society cannot exist without them. Fear is what keeps some in line, remove that fear and you have anarchy, every person for themselves. No such thing as a perfect world, there are those that are always with us that would ruin, rape, rob and murder us for profit or fun.
For some otherwise clear thinkers to believe crime will actually tumble as the police surrender the streets, highways & bridges to left-wing rabble, is an amazing thing to watch and a tribute to propaganda. Wanna bet they are safely on their sofas as the ball drops in Times Sq tonight?
