  1. This DeBlasio/Bratton team is even worse than Obama/Holder. They are insane. This will only encourage more “teens” to commit more crimes. These idiots are making it harder for police & easier for criminals. We’re finished.

  2. These extremist radical left-wingers are always on the side of the law breakers.

    Go figure: The law makers are making things easier for the law breakers!

    That’s classic leftism.
