"We protect everybody on the streets of New York, not just CEOs," Hochul said. "Everybody deserves the protection of our law enforcement."

New York City averages over 1 murder per day. Weird how the CEO seems to be the only one getting any attention whatsoever, since everyone is getting equal protection.

Besides that, law enforcement doesn't protect anyone. Didn't protect Brian Thompson, did it?

Law enforcement is reactive. They show up after the crime has been committed to take notes (incorrectly) and maybe arrest the wrong person. Oh, except when patrol officers are running speed traps so they can intimidate the undesirables and shake them down for fines (which are regressive), maybe abuse some authority (or just make shit up) in order to provoke an unnecessary arrest.

We cant afford for every American to have secret service protection. So we should just get rid of the secret service entirely. Big money wastage. TSA also needs to go. They never did anything to start with.

What? I haven't fallen into a toilet once since they created the TSA. Those seatbelts are a life saver.
