Pretty sure asking for a car theft to be investigated is already out of the question in NYC, nevermind a bicycle.

That would require them to actually do work.

I remember seeing a show about if people would do anything about someone actively cutting locks off a bike years ago. IIRC it was filmed in New York, and the police and most passersby did nothing right up until they used an angle grinder. Various bolt cutters, hammers, exc were just ignored.

@@volvo09 By me that will not investigate anything other than the murder of a high profile person, AKA comes to mind. Regular crime is just fill out the form, does you have the insurance, here is the CAS number, nextpersonplease, and that is it.

Do you know what you call something that's paid to do a job, but doesn't do their job and instead wastes that money? A scam. Police restructuring is required. Low IQ dropouts need new jobs as janitors.

You know what I want to buy at my campus bookstore? Yeah. That's right. Literally anything other than a book.

​@funkadunk666 they offer it to students at a discount. That's a win, especially in New York where once a bike is stolen its never recovered because the cops won't do anything about bike theft. To put it simply ( for the simple minded ) it's a good thing!

@@Funk1199 A campus bookstore selling bike locks is a very good business decision: all that $$ the student isn't spending on buying back their bike for the 100th time off the thieves that stole it can be used to buy books instead and thus bigger profits for the bookstore.

Disc Detainer locks aren't often picked though

@wilms2328 that's why it's such a good lock and is being recommended by the college, LPL also explains the good things about it, I heard no negatives.

Kind of like the story about reinforcing parts of fighter planes that showed bullet holes, when those were the planes that made it back; instead of parts that didn't show bullet holes which if hit would make the plane go down.

Yeah, this kind of bullshit propaganda, coming directly form the police, is terrifying.

Of course cops are talkin rubbish

“You will own nothing…”

It isn't only recommended--it is FOR SALE in the university stores! This whole MSNBC piece was "copaganda" intended to demonize the protesters and justify the brutal crackdown on free speech...

I came here to say this, thank you!

Apparently you can buy it in the university bookstore.

@@Tikuros I saw a report that the school offers this lock for sale to students. SMH

You get a student discount on it at the campus bookstore. Killer deal.

You say that as though the police care about being good at their jobs. The worse they do the more job security they have.

Fake cops. REAL cops, like in Santa Rosa County FL want you to use good locks and defend yourself with firearms. Everyone knows NY = fake police. They may as well be bobbies and wear those ridiculous hats.

@@Tundra. You assume of course the NYPD management are able to read. they had a hard time with Huck Finn, let alone "See Spot Run", and anything without pictures and more than 5 words per page is considered advanced material.

The book they held up was a very short introduction to terrorism. Very short introductions is a book series put out by Oxford lol.

Or send them a cake for the increased sales.

the taxpayers of new york would have to pay for that lawsuit... We need to stop paying for bad apple's battles and change the law so that police are held personally accountable.

@@turtlebunch2 The police are subordinate to the politicians. As long as the politicians tolerate abuse by the police, those politicians are on the hook. Of course, that means the taxpayers are also on the hook. If this bothers you, note which politicians are enabling this behavior by the police and vote them out of office.

Nah, they should come out with an ad saying "So good even the police can't defeat it" complete with extracts from this interview.

It was definitely propaganda, but he could *also* have been clueless - you have to be pretty uninformed to think you can get away with a lie so blatant that looking at the website of the campus you just raided is all it takes to prove you wrong, after all

@@bosstowndynamics5488 Trust me, you don't have to give a cop the benefit of the doubt. Their job isn't to keep people safe it's to make people feel unsafe so they keep their cooshy 200k+ salaries.

@@bosstowndynamics5488 No, they just know a lie gets half way around the world before the truth puts its pants on. They just have to convince enough people who, if confronted with the truth later, will rationalise it (likely just falling back on a bunch of other lies they were told).

Was going to say the same thing.

🙌

Something I loved about him is that he also shows us his picking failures, so that we don't get the false impression that they can pick every lock they have. In one of their collab videos, LPL mentioned he had about 10 locks he hasn't been able to pick, even though he routinely tries.

I got goosebumps from the anticipation of him saying it

@@coladict Kinda such LPL would show more challenging locks, there are plenty of tough locks out there, just showing a lousy lock every week isn't that interesting.

Only because they support the woke. /s

Where? I didnt see it on their website?

​@@SirFancyPantsMceeit's on their public safety website, not the bookstore.

@@b.c.9358 Just found it thanks

It's interesting nypd doesn't have skilled lockpicking detectives. nypd used to be legendary.

Like the PD in Uvalde that didn't bother trying the door handle and went searching for the custodian while kids were being murdered. Cowards and idiots.

Or just brake the door ffs. They have the tools for it, and door will break much easier then lock (unless its a very good one, which is already not most of them).

lol so right

"The Lawyer"...=))

Their first mistake was consulting a police officer for anything at all given their track record for, y'know, lying and exaggerating

He would have picked the lock and then relocked to pick again. Just to prove it wasn’t a fluke.

​@@LKValand especially an NYPD officer given their notorious attitude towards cyclists... (Even on the opposite coast I've heard a lot about NYPD thugs parking in bike lanes in order to ticket cyclists who try to go around them and even beating any who object to being ticketed!)

To be fair, the commissioner is at a big disadvantage here, LPL has actually appeared in court as a lawyer, not as a piece of court furniture.

​@@SeanBZAThat pig is a piece of something...

The actual picking was only 1 of those minutes too. And that's starting the clock when he starts to set the disks, not when he started the actual picking.

​@@MxMe-su1chhonestly though, that's actually a decent fight from a lock for him. Most are under a minute to pick.

@aaronscott7467 Oh definitely. Price for quality, Kryptonite locks are quite good. Abus too IIRC. They're both recommended for ebikes, so long as you also detach the battery as that is often what is stolen.

Although he was wrong, that's not what he was getting at

The commissioner is an idiot in charge of an idiot force. NYPD is one of the most incompetent groups of people on the planet IF you go by stats.

Why don't those residents just simply get another free loaner car from police impound? 🤔

They more focus on giving opportunity to criminals, basically making a crime conducive environment. Forgetting about good citizen that should be prioritize.

@@gappergob6169modt blue places are like that now. sad.

Everyone running civil offices in NYC are embarrassments.

No shit, cops are not attorneys, why would you take legal advice from them? LOL

@@venom5809 They enforce the law, so I guess people think that means they understand it better than the average joe. It's like if you hired a janitor and asked his /mop/ for cleaning advice. Sure, the mop helped, but mostly because of the knowledge of the person employing it.

That's a great line but the other thing about cops is you never know when they are joking or not! 🙂

@@venom5809 you'd hope that someone enforcing the law knows the law, yeah??

Exactly. He's holding up a visual example of the easily available consumer item that he least wants to see used in any future protests. He basically wrote an instruction manual "whatever you do, don't do this".

Coincidebtally this lock just got at the top of the list for a future bike lock for me xD

There is a mixture of blame between the law and the authority to enforce the law. If murder was a 24 hour sentence instead of 25 years, it would not matter how many people you arrested and convicted for it, police would never keep up.

It's like this everywhere in the world these days.

nypd famously does jack shit about bike theft, so it’s probably the first time he’s ever seen a proper bike lock.

No, just in Liberal cities.

@@marklanders630 That is because the criminal races are everywhere these days.

They will go steal the bike without that lock, though of course will steal the wheels of yours, along with any parts easy to remove.

and even if they do, maybe they are not good at picking with it (avoids eye contact 🤣)

@@SeanBZA Well I use a U-lock similar to that, to attach the bike frame alongside the back wheel to something stationary and then use that chain with a lttile bit less beefy lock to attach the front wheel to the frame and if possible to the stationary thing. If I feel extra paranoid I have some cables I can use to attach the saddle to the rest. Yeah, they can use a bolt cutter to steal my saddle, if they want to make that much effort for so little reward. Of course depends on where I'm going. If I go somewhre the bike is pretty much safe and have difficult attachment points, I often use the chain to attach frame and back tire to something sttationary and I have a little folding lock (had to buy it for insurance reasons, because the Kryptonites were too old) that I then use for the front wheel. Can be cut with a bolt cutter, too. But hey, that is my setup for locations I could probably get away with not locking the bike at all.

even with that tool it takes incredible experience, as well as a calm hand and brain which is obviously not always given considering circumstances and person attempting the pick

@@Broggi93 Most bike thieves will not got for picking. Usually they will use a destructive method. I have seen videos, where people tried stealing a bike in broad daylight with a battery powered angle grinder and no one said a thing. So as you can't rake the lock open, I doubt anyone will try to open the lock non destructive.

I don't think he was a liar. Just uneducated and lazy. Some people are too lazy to check things out so they pretend their gut feeling is the truth.

That’s amazing! Just looking at the chain, I would’ve never suspected it was that strong. thanks for performing this test. Maybe you should tell Kryptonite about it.

3D printing firearms is incredibly easy on paper. Anyone who has actually printed a firearm will tell you, they are much more difficult to get right than you would assume.

@@volvo09 You have a lot to research.... LOL!

The Commissioner's dumbass comment about the bike lock aside, there ARE rioters out there. Let's just be very clear about that. And even "peaceful protesters" have and are holding up major motorways and blocking entrances to buildings just to be as much of a public nuisance as humanly possible.

I was a juror on a kidnapping trial where the detectives that arrived on the scene where the victim was being held basically went "huh, looks like the victim was held here" and did -zero- additional fact finding on the farm he had been locked up at. Even when they're doing their jobs they don't bother to do any research

They are aware, they were just lying. NYPD lies constantly.

But grinders have a protection cap for that ?

@@HappyDude1 Is that what those things with the clamps on them are? Straight to the trashcan...

​@@HappyDude1Those are far from perfect because you need the open part to work with and you need to see what you're doing. There are plenty of pics online of those fragments embedded in safety glasses.

@@HappyDude1 I should have mentioned that the machines used were fixed installation hand operated saws for cutting off lengths of metal bars up to 2 1/2 inch diameter. There had to be somewhere to get the bars in, which meant there was always an open area for the bits of burst disc to escape. Nevertheless, the people operating the saws were well protected.

@@chrismay2298why would you do that? The grinder still works fine with the guard fitted. Folks that disregard safety in this manner are just fools, some injuries that you can get from such behaviour will change your life for the worse forever.

Correlation: The rioters used locks from the school's shop.

@@Aimless6 Oh, that's even funnier.

The police had to PHYSICALLY REMOVE the protective cover off his "example" so it would look more dangerous and possibly illegal.

In an actual emergency, during that conversation, Firefighter 3 would have pulled out their halligan bar and broken open the door. Locks only matter if you’re not willing to destroy what they’re attached to. Firefighters work by different rules in actual emergencies.
