Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

July 30, 2012

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, one of the most implacably totalitarian figures in American political history, has suggested that police nationwide should go on strike until the law-abiding public disarms itself.

?I don?t understand why the police officers in this country don?t stand up collectively and say, `we?re going to go on strike,? Bloomberg blurted in an interview with CNN?s Piers Morgan. ?We?re not going to protect you unless you ? the public ? through your legislature do what?s required to keep us safe. After all, police officers want to go home to their families.?

An unidentified police officer in Portland, Oregon acted on Commissar Bloomberg?s recommendation on July 26. Rob Anderson, who owns a computer software store, witnessed a robbery taking place at Central Drugs. Spying a uniformed officer in a marked police car, Anderson reported the robbery. The valiant defender of the public replied that he was off duty and told Anderson to call 911. Then he rolled up his window and drove away.

After the robber made off with cash and pills, the pharmacist grabbed his personal firearm and, with an assistant, chased down and arrested the suspect until the police tardily arrived.

Memo to Mayor Bloomberg: We?d be better off with an armed citizenry and no police.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
