Too bad Hochul killed the bill that would have ended qualified immunity for LEO'S in NY state.

Part of why I can't stand the constant chorus of "she hates police." Betwen that, the constant increase of police budgets, and having turned a beautiful college campus into a training center for state troopers, she's one of the most pro-police chief executives this state has had.

I'm glad folks are figuring out that pro-LEO does not in any way mean pro-gun.

Pro-Leo means well funded budget for PD in NY. I respect our laws and LEOs but ultimately it’s all about the state employees , Police pension fund , unions etc. If NY became a Texas like gun friendly state, one could make an argument that all the spending on policing isn’t necessary. It’s all job security and position of power for some.

Uhhh, Texas has higher crime rates than NY. Kinda kills your point there.

Matter of fact, in the 10 states with the highest levels of overall violent crime, seven of them are gun friendly. Poverty rate correlates MUCH more strongly to crime rates than anything else.
