NYPD Running Guns

[Kirk Freeman]

Seems everyone is getting in on the federal act, including employees of Mayor Bloomberg. NYPD running shotguns, M16s, M4s.

Maybe they were just trying to pad their resumes for a job with BATFE or bloomberg's own private detectives

Guess they figured that if the feds can do it and get away with it, why shouldn't they be able to?

It's just an isolated incident. Nothing to see here folks, move along!

Forget the opportunity for cop bashing for a second. This is from the Mayor that is trying to shut gun shows down. He engages in illegal activity all around the country trying to tape something illegal. He tries to involve himself in the laws of nearby states all because he says there are too many guns on the streets of NYC. All the time, his employees are selling illegal arms on those same streets. He should commit the political version of harakiri or seppuku or whatever you call and resign in disgrace. Bloomberg, worry about your own house before you worry about ours.

HA! what a fool that Bloomberg... He thinks he is King not mayor and laws don't apply to him

They haven't so far. A few years ago, he sent people across state lines to fraudulently purchase firearms out of their state of residence, in conflict with local and federal laws, and nothing more happened to him than ATF saying "no no no" I think I recall he got a letter containing a print version of a moderately-worded tongue-lashing. Anyone else would be in prison for conspiracy to commit any number of federal crimes. The response he got from the governor of the state (Virginia, I think) was more strict.

On the upside, it looks like some folks in NYPD take their oaths and their profession d**n seriously, and don't take kindly to being painted with the "corrupt" brush. This is a good thing.

Blessings,
