When 84-year-old Kang Chun Wong got stopped January 19 by a NY cop for jaywalking, he did not understand the cop’s orders and was knocked unconscious, ending up bloodied in a hospital, an act that was defended by Mayor Bill de Blasio on the grounds that zero tolerance would be enforced against violators
On January 21 I wrote on BarkGrowlBite that it was hard for me to fathom why a very old man who does not speak English ends up bloodied in the hospital because he could not understand an officer’s orders in a jaywalking violation and tried to walk away. Now Mr. Wong, who was wrong, is suing for being wronged.
In response to the public outrage over how the police wronged Mr. Wong, Bill de Blasio, New York’s new Sandinista-loving mayor, released a statement through his office which said that because there have been too many traffic deaths, zero tolerance would be enforced against violators.
Apparently that zero tolerance does not apply to de Blasio. On Thursday, the mayor’s two-car convoy was spotted speeding 45 in a 30 mph zone in Queens and blowing through a bunch of stop signs. Less than 24 hours later, de Blasio and his security detail was seen jaywalking across Brooklyn’s busy Park Slope thoroughfare against a red ‘do not walk’ sign.
The Sandanista-loving mayor blamed it all on his NYPD security protocols. What a supreme crock of shit! Based on the mayor’s defense of the Wong beating, de Blasio should have been knocked on his sorry ass after he crossed Park Slope against the red ‘don’t walk’ sign.
