The NYPD arrested a 28-year-old “known gang member” Wednesday after video surfaced of the man “dumping a bucket of water” on police officers; sparking outrage from former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and law enforcement officials.
“UPDATE: The 28-year-old man, a known gang member, who was wanted for dumping a bucket of water on our @NYPD73Pct cop in #Brooklyn has been arrested. Actions like we’ve seen in videos recently will NEVER be tolerated in this city. YOU WILL BE ARRESTED,” posted Chief of Department Terence Monahan.

The disturbing footage surfaced Tuesday showing New Yorkers attacking uniformed NYPD officers on patrol; prompting former Mayor Rudy Giuliani to slam Bill de Blasio as a total “disgrace.”
“Footage shows separate incidents of people in Harlem and Brooklyn using buckets to splash and dump water over uniformed officers, as the cops calmly walk away,” reports Fox News.
“He’s a disgrace, and even Democrats don’t support him and are embarrassed of him,” said Giuliani.
“The way you reduce crime is to have police officers with high morale,” he added. “That uniform should be respected.”
The videos of cops being doused with water and having objects hurled at them as they made an arrest in #Harlem is reprehensible. NYC’s cops & communities have made remarkable progress — together — but EVERY New Yorker MUST show respect for our cops. They deserve nothing less. pic.twitter.com/mPtPPbUSGZ

DE BLASIO ROCKED: NYPD Police Union TRASHES Bill de Blasio After Democratic Debate
An NYPD police union unloaded on NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio following Wednesday night’s first Democratic debate; saying the Big Apple Boss was “directly” responsible for the “demonization of cops” across the five boroughs.
“History repeats itself. @BilldeBlasio said he wants to bring cops and community together. Ask any cop on the street what impact his divisive rhetoric has had #DemDebate https://twitter.com/billdeblasio/status/1144068770249531392 …,” posted the official Twitter account of the New York City Police Benevolent Association.
“We’re working hard to get guns off the street @BilldeBlasio. You must have been too busy to go to the last Compsat meeting because SHOOTINGS ARE UP 9.7%. ‘Safest Big City’ in the country doesn’t feel that way to many especially in Brooklyn,” added the PBA.
“The hostile and dangerous environment we now face on the street is a direct result of demonization of cops by de Blasio and other elected officials,” concluded the statement.

De Blasio unveiled new NYPD guidelines last week that made it more difficult for police officers to arrest NYC students who commit “low-level crimes.”
“Police will stop arresting or summonsing Big Apple students ‘whenever possible’ for a host of crimes — such as boozing, smoking pot and vandalism — in city schools, as part of a sweeping change to NYPD policy set to be announced Thursday, according to a report,” reports the New York Post.
“Rowdy pupils will also skate on spitting, harassment, trespassing and other ‘low-level offenses’ as long as school administrators can ‘safely’ handle the incidents,” adds the newspaper.
“The welfare of these students should be the city’s top priority,” said Maria Henderson, a spokeswoman for City Council Education Committee Chair Mark Treyger. “We should be focused on supporting them and not punitive disciplinary measures.”

The nation’s largest city is also poised to become the first place in America that provides public funding for abortions.
“Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Corey Johnson, both Democrats, announced a budget agreement Friday, set to be voted on this week, that would allocate $250,000 to the New York Abortion Access Fund, which called it ‘extremely good news’ amid other states passing anti-abortion laws,” reports Fox News.
A third of the woman using the Access Fund come from outside the city.
DE BLASIO’S NYC: NYPD to Stop Arresting Students for ‘Low-Level’ Crimes in Public Schools
Police across New York City will cease arresting students in public schools for “low level crimes” such as smoking marijuana, consuming alcohol, or vandalism as part of the De Blasio administration’s “sweeping change” for NYPD policy.

“This initiative not only makes New York the first city in the nation to directly fund abortion services, but also lets any American who is facing increasing abortion restrictions in their home state know that they can come and get the services they need in the five boroughs,” Democratic Councilwoman Carlina Rivera of Manhattan said in a statement. “This fund is just another signal, another example of how New York State and New York City has to be that leader on this issue.”
“Now the abortion capital of the world NYC may actually use city taxpayer monies for an enticement fund to come terminate your children,” fired-back pro-life organization New York State Right to Life.
