here he goes again! i wonder if this will become a 'misspeak'
If the state legislators asked Bratton about this, it's possible that they're at least considering changing New York law to make it a felony to resist arrest. This could spell disaster for New Yorkers, for one big reason: resisting arrest charges are used mostly by a small share of cops, many of whom are among the most abusive.
Bratton told the State Senate (according to Buzzfeed) that "if you don't want us to enforce something, don't make it a law." But that's the opposite of how resisting-arrest cases actually work. Most cops don't bring in many, or any, people for resisting arrest. But a few cops bring in a lot.

Mayor de Blasio now safely in the cops' pocket, and hypersensitive about it like most worthless ex-radicals.
“When police give instruction, you follow the instruction,” Mr. de Blasio said at a City Hall press conference today. “We won’t tolerate illegality; we won’t tolerate disorder.”
...Mr. de Blasio said the overall strategy of the police in New York City had not changed—there was simply “flexibility” they took in certain situations, like when dozens of marchers poured into the streets around Union Square after being told not to enter the roadways....
While Mr. de Blasio insisted that New Yorkers protesting needed to obey the NYPD’s orders, he argued his own arrest during a 2013 protest of plans to close a Brooklyn hospital was an entirely different matter.
“I’m astounded at that question,” Mr. de Blasio told the Wall Street Journal’s Michael Howard Saul. “I would think you knew a little bit more about the history of nonviolent civil protests. The civil rights movement, maybe you’ve heard of it?”

i think this asshole captain deserves everything about to be thrown at him
"Every rape should be investigated. I wish we could do more," Captain Peter Rose, head of the 94th Precinct, told DNAinfo New York.
"It really becomes a balancing act for the investigators.
"Some of them were Tinder, some of them were hookup sites, some of theme were actually coworkers. It's not a trend that we're too worried about because out of 13 [sex attacks], only two were true stranger rapes.
"They're not total abomination rapes where strangers are being dragged off the streets," Rose later said at a Community Council meeting Wednesday night.
"If there's a true stranger rape, a random guy picks up a stranger off the street, those are the troubling ones. That person has, like, no moral standards."
His comments raised concerns with Jane Manning of the National Organization for Women.
"The idea that 'this isn't some guy who's dangerous to women,' that in itself is a major window into the mentality that we are up against," she said.
"If you have the commander of a precinct making comments like that, he’s setting a tone for all the officers of a unit about how seriously to take acquaintance rape cases.
"When I hear the phrase we didn't have a cooperating victim, my antenna always goes up. If you hear 'I can't get the victim to cooperate' in case after case, you should be asking yourself what are they failing to do?"
Nationally, only about 14 percent of rapes are stranger rapes, according to a 2012 report from the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
