NYPD cops have stopped trying to stop and frisk even when they have good reason.

The federal monitor appointed by the social engineering judge that ended "stop and frisk" has issued a report that states that "officers on the street may be declining to stop, question and frisk when it would be lawful and prudent to do so."

In other words the cops are afraid to do their job because they know the politicians will throw them to the wolves and they have a better chance of losing their jobs and their pensions if they act to get guns off the street. In an article in the New York Daily News the federal monitor Peter Zimroth reports that the cops are afraid of being sued or brought up on charges for stopping and frisking so they have just basiclly stopped doing it. The NYC council has pending legislation that would require cops to get written permission for anyone they stop and search. How do you think that is going to work out?

This is the basic dilemma  for progressive police haters like Comrade Bill De Blasio and the Mayor of Baltimore. They hate the police. They think the real problem is not the criminals but the police. So they decide to go after the police instead of the criminals. The cops aren't stupid. They are not going to put their life and career at risk. So they take a step back. They don't worry about the broken windows. Or the obvious skells carrying a gun that they normally would have tossed. And they wonder why murders are skyrocketing and crime stats are going up and up and up.

I know. Let's fire the police commissioner.

The next hill to die on?

Margie Winters who was the religious director of a Catholic school in Merion Station Pennsylvania turns out to have been secretly married to a same sex partner for eight years until parents discovered it and notified the school and the dioceses. She was let go and is one of four teachers or administrators in Catholic schools who have been fired this year for being in same sex marriages.

According to the article in the Daily News: "The landmark ruling by the Supreme Court last month that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry did not reverse the precedent, established by the Court in 2012, that allowed religious schools to base personnel decisions on the principles of their religion, Sarah Warbelow, legal director of the Washington, D.C., based Human Rights Campaign, told the Daily News in April. Religious schools are going to have the ability to hire and fire teachers consistent with the school's faith views," Warbelow said."

How long do think it will take for there to be a lawsuit. Now this is just about the same thing as having someone who enjoys eating dog like President Obama being in charge of the animal shelter but that is not going to stop litigation. Some judge is going to say you don't have follow Catholic doctrine or observe Catholic teaching to teach religion in a Catholic school because.......because you don't have the right to follow the tenants of your religion even in the teaching of religion in a Catholic school. You know that is how the courts will rule. There is no doubt in my mind that the Court will not rely on precedent since they did not rely on precedent in its latest ruling on same sex marriage. 

You religion is not yours to practice. Not in your private religious school. Not in your church. Not in your home.
