Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone: New York City Police are in the middle of a slowdown. The New York Post is going so far as to call it a virtual work stoppage. ... Furious at embattled mayor Bill de Blasio, and at what Police Benevolent Association chief Patrick Lynch calls a hostile anti-police environment in the city, the local officers are simply refusing to arrest or ticket people for minor offenses -- such arrests have dropped off a staggering 94 percent, with overall arrests plunging 66 percent. If youre wondering exactly what that means, the Post is reporting that the protesting police have decided to make arrests only when they have to. (Let that sink in for a moment. Seriously, take 10 or 15 seconds).
