After NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch agreed to work in his administration, the mayor-elect has gotten cagey on disbanding the SRG, scrapping the gang database, and giving the CCRB the final say in police discipline.
He had authority over NYPD or I’m wrong? What he said was that he would order the NYPD to arrest Netanyahu if he goes to NY, why that would be something he had no authority to do?
Actually trying to execute that arrest warrant would be the quickest way to have the feds all over you. US federal law prohibits co operation with the ICC, nevermind diplomatic immunity. Any attempt to arrest Netanyahu, in the United States of all nations, Israel’s biggest ally, would be a publicity stunt that the federal government would overturn.
Also what happens if he resists arrest, he would almost certainly have armed body guards and maybe even secret security details. As cool as this would be I don’t see the NYPD executing his entire entourage in the middle of NYC
NYPD executing his entire entourage in the middle of NYC
I remember reading about the Italian communist and film director Passolini’s account of the police (specifically, the Carabinieri) directly following the end of WW2, in that they where mostly composed of working class fresh recruits, in their young 20’s and had the task of breaking up the mafia and the fascist parties iron grip on politics.
In this sense, when they kicked down the doors of the mob bosses making backroom deals with nazi’s and plugged them with some good old lead, the police were a progressive force.
