“…The bill, authored by Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and introduced with a majority of councilmembers as cosponsors, requires police officers to report all their investigative interactions with civilians, including low-level encounters not previously required to be tracked….”

That’s how you kill police departments: by making the police HAVE TO record and report every little thing, every encounter. Drive ’em nuts. Prevent ’em from doing their job.

The strategy seems to be working…

You unjustly malign Professor Hanson. The actual post lifted by Zerohedge is “Authored by James Howard Kunstler via Kunstler.com,” and only uses the phrase from VDH as an opening quote.

And a good phrase it is, too, being the conclusion from this post, which also unloads quite severely on our ruling elites.

He links a post by Gerard Vanderleun that is (as always) worth reading.
