CBS pretends they cant understand why the African assaulted the woman he doesnt even know. Black Lives Matter!
Good story. CBS not pretending to not know anything, just not editorializing. Pretty obvious a reporter ask police if they had a motive. Unlikely the bike A-hole told them he was a racist, to avoid admitting, to a hate crime. This left the police to only say they had none, leaving it to courts to decide. Looked purely racial to me. Apparently you don't do that sort of crap right in front of a fire house with the firemen sitting around. They did good, while acting with restraint. Less disciplined might have beat the $hit out of the guy, confusing issues. Really nice job FDNY.
They did what they're forced to do...NOT beat the crap out of someone who royally deserved to get his ass kicked! You can't hurt criminals anymore though...they have more rights than citizens!
Sure you can, unless you are on the job working for somebody when the need arises. If on the job and not a cop, your employer will fire the crap out of you. I can live with that. The fire fighters could too and did exactly what was necessary without going beyond, getting in trouble themselve, and way beyond anything they owe as firefighter. Very professional. Just another example of why New York Fire Fighter are admired across the country.
I'll tell you a little story, White. When I used to live in Boston I lived in two different places. One was in Dorchester and the other was the North End. Dorchester was a very dangerous neighborhood to live in. Lots of crimes. Lots of violent crimes. You had to watch your ass every minute. The North End had very little crime and even less violent crime. The streets were safe to walk even in the middle of the night. Now there were probably more police patrolling in Dorchester than in the North End so why do you think it was so much safer in the North End even with fewer police?
The answer to that riddle is rather simple. The North End in Boston is where the Italian mafia resides. It's a place where if you get caught doing something like assaulting 60 year old women walking down the street you're not going to jail looking like that guy in New York...you're going to jail hurt BAD! The "locals" are going to make it quite clear to you...and any of your criminal pals...that the North End is not a good place to commit crimes. They're going to beat you to within an inch of your life and THEN call the police! Now don't get me wrong...I don't claim that the mafia is a benevolent organization...far from it...but I do know what criminals understand.
That man on the bike in New York City felt he could do that and get away with it because he didn't fear the people from that neighborhood or the police. He didn't fear them because he thinks the political leaders of that city will protect him and punish anyone who does give him the beating that he richly deserves. That's what idiots like Bill De Blasio will never grasp and why as long as he's running the city it will continue to turn into a cesspool!
