Ever wonder how Mayor Bloomberg gets away with gun control lectures while he has his own security detail? Yeah, so did we. But don't expect any answers from Bloomberg. Just expect harassment from his bodyguards.

What a jackass...that guy calls himself a reporter? He seems pretty unstable. I wouldn't let him anywhere near anybody that I was protecting if I was on a security detail.

If he was not a cowering pussy, cowering behind his pussy guarding, gun wielding, personal pussy armed security, he might have laughed. But he is a cowering pussy, cowering behind his pussy guarding, gun wielding, personal pussy armed security, so he did not laugh.

This has NOTHING to do with the fricking Mayor of a city. It has to do with the fact that Mayor personally has surrounded himself with armed personal paid by him personally to guard his person personally.

The mayor of the nation's largest city is protected around the clock, even when he's not working. He's trailed on the golf course, at the theater, while visiting relatives for Thanksgiving dinner - with taxpayers footing the bill.

...

For as long as anyone can remember, whoever the city's mayor is and wherever he has gone, the New York Police Department has protected him. And not always without incident.

...

Bloomberg's spokesman, Stu Loeser, declined to discuss the workings of the mayor's security, but a former police official offered some details.

Mayors typically are protected by a five- or six-person team of plainclothes detectives, including one who often goes ahead to secure the destination. There are generally three teams that rotate for the 24-hour job.

Bodyguards generally have stayed overnight with the mayor in Gracie Mansion, the city's official residence. Bloomberg, a billionaire, has opted to stay in his own town house on a prime block of East 79th Street, where there is now a police booth.

Protection is available for a mayor's family members, but the Police Department makes those decisions based on the individuals and any perceived threat against them.

When Giuliani was in office and having an affair with Judith Nathan - who later became his wife - both she and his then-wife, Donna Hanover, were given protection.

When mayors travel, the costs of the security team are paid by the city. Bloomberg has taken the unusual step of covering their expenses when he takes personal trips.
