Mystery fly-overs in New Jersey and parts of New York may soon be put to an end by the NYPD, according to a news report.
Yeah, let’s have combat drones over civilians. This makes total sense.
Drone issue? Have you tried more drones?
Obviously the solution is to nuke it.
I don’t claim to know anything about the story here, but I don’t need to in order to know the NYPD aren’t the good guys.
Lol the fuck?
"Under the surveillance program, the NYPD “mapped out every mosque within 100 miles of New York” and initially studied “more than 250 mosques in New York and New Jersey.” By 2006, the NYPD had also “identified 31 Muslim student associations and labeled seven of them ‘MSAs of concern.’” In New Jersey, surveillance “extended across at least 20 mosques, 14 restaurants, 11 shops, two schools and two Muslim student groups.”

Whoever or whatever is behind this drone thing (if there is any substance to it at all) scares me far less than the NYPD. I would rather deal with literal actual extraterrestial aliens from another planet than the NYPD, fuck the NYPD.
The NYPD is an organization of violence not an institution of public safety and it has grown out of control like a cancer.
Making it difficult for IAB to investigate reports of misconduct, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, a former NYPD captain, told the wire service Reuters in late 2014 that the IAB leaks the identities of NYPD officers who file complaints against other officers. Of the broken system to investigate official misconduct, Borough President Adams said, “There’s no real outlet to report the abuse.”[231]
After Eric Garner’s July 2014 chokehold death, the Department of Investigation issued a report, examining 10 cases where the CCRB substantiated complaints about officers using chokeholds. The report showed that the NYPD rejected recommendations for discipline in a majority of the examined cases, raising concerns about the lack of accountability for police misconduct. Philip Eure, the inspector general of the NYPD, told The New York Times, “Obviously, we are going to be looking at a broader sample of cases to see if it’s more systemic, but people should be troubled by the disconnect that we determined exists already in the disciplinary process.”[232]
An independent 2015 investigation into the transparency of New York government agencies showed that the NYPD was resistant to revealing even basic information about itself. A request filed under the state’s Freedom of Information Act seeking the names of the NYPD’s employees was denied on the basis that a list of employees was information that was not in the “possession, custody, or control” of the agency. The investigation, conducted in joint co-operation between the transparency Web site MuckRock and the news publication The New York World, surveyed 86 municipal and state agencies. The worst-performing agency was the NYPD, which received the grade of “F” for its resistance to disclosing information about itself.

The NYPD does not exist to keep people safe from anything, they are only interested in these “drone sightings” insofar as it could be used to justify even more draconian policing policies and illegal surveillance and violation of people’s rights to privacy.
I’d rather deal with the NYPD than idk maybe an aggressive foreign actor especially one that wants me ethically cleansed.
ACAB sure but lol
A good chunk of the NYPD would love to ethnically cleanse NYC if they could and I really wish that was cynical hyperbole but it really isn’t the NYPD just knows they couldn’t quite get away with it yet.
I don’t know who you are more afraid of that is more prone to systematic violence against and subjugation of innocent people?
I think that’s a stretch. It’s easy to call people fascists and Nazis and cops absolutely are a huge part of that but to claim individuals are carrying ideals of ethnic cleansing is a huge leap. Meanwhile there are genuinely people in the world, a lot of them, who would do far more harm than the NYPD.
If this is a lone actor or a group terrorist group plotting, an enemy state, even if it is covert mission my own government or a friendly government is doing I might still trust the NYPD over them. I’ve literally gone to NYC and spoken to individual officers on multiple occasions. ACAB absolutely but your logic isn’t sound bro
Rikers just entered the chat

Yeah I know these are prison guards but it is all part of the same elegantly designed machine of violence, just a different part of the loop.
Sure we can disguise the cleansing in hate for the homeless and poor and call it a coincidence that the system specifically targets minorities in a dizzying variety of ways but shrugs
Besides, you ever talk to a cop when they think you are part of the same club as them? Don’t underestimate violence and the passionate belief driving that violence just because it has been systematically normalized.
Again ACAB but Rikers isn’t owned by the NYPD and although both operate under the governing bodies of New York it doesn’t really gain that much ground in this discussion because the point is the NYPD will not do what Russia would do. Again, if this is a foreign adversary I do in fact trust the NYPD over them. I trust a rabid guard dog over a polar bear that is mad at me, especially if the polar bear is probably also mad at the guard dog too. The enemy of my enemy and all that.
I thought this fly over thing was over?
Not at all, if anything, it’s escalating. Hide your kids, hide your wife!
Today government officals from New Jersey held a press conference(somehow only fox news seems to have the video), local sheriff’s departments are taking matters into their own hands, and sightings have expanded to include other states, and military bases, including a us military base in germany, and other sensitive areas.
Cool I only heard about it this morning from yourube and the way they were talking it was done.
Well, most of the federal government doesn’t seem too concerned, so i guess that’s understandable.
They only care about dead rich people anyway (the feds)
