Yesterday, I discussed the new poll that shows that New Yorkers overwhelmingly oppose police officers turning their backs on Mayor de Blasio during police funerals. They also think police union chief Pat Lynch is a jerk who’s bad for the city. Now the same pollster (Quinnipiac) has released numbers for the Mayor and the Governor.

Must read on the sheer depth of nonsense behind the new court case to sink Obamacare. CBO ran the numbers 68 times on the law and not once did they consider the nonsensical idea that people in states that didn’t set up their own exchange wouldn’t get subsidies – which is supposedly what people were trying to do when they wrote the law.
North Miami police caught using mugshots of black men for target practice.
Fascinating but also horrible. If the Supreme Court decides to go full corruption and invalidate Obamacare subsidies in most of the country on the flimsiest on arguments, the head of Aetna is now talking about a “Grand Bargain” to pick up the pieces.

Earlier I noted the new Quinnipiac Poll that showed that while New Yorkers give solid approval numbers to the NYPD, they roundly oppose the campaign of public back-turning and the police refusal to enforce all but the most serious laws in the weeks since the execution style killing of two NYPD patrolmen. What also emerged in the poll is public anger that Patrick Lynch, President of the Police Benevolent Association has managed to make the public face of an asshole into the public face of the NYPD. And now there are signs of rising opposition to Lynch within the union itself. A raucous union meeting at Antun’s catering hall in Queens Village on Tuesday night broke down into a melee of pushing and shoving and screaming involving some 100 police officers angry Lynch’s leadership of the union. The yelling and screaming and shoving went on for about ten minutes, according to the Daily News, before Lynch walked out.
