KMC Forums - New York City is "bleeding blue"

https://nypost.com/2023/01/07/cops-...dus-since-9-11/

quote:
The mass migration took place as the NYPD hired 1,982 officers in 2022, leaving the department down some 1,700 cops, the data suggests.

Bail reform, resentment for the city�s vaccination mandate, the defund-the-police movement, cops feeling disrespected, and the lure of higher pay and lower stress proved to be the final push out the door for many cops.

�The city is bleeding blue and I think the blue line will get thinner,� said Joseph Giacalone, a retired NYPD sergeant and adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. �At this rate, continued public safety weighs in the balance. I�d be more concerned at the resignations than the retirements. Cops are leaving for better pay, benefits, and working conditions.�

Exactly what I predicted would happen. Low pay. Insane overtime, constant danger of life and limb, disrespect, constant scrutiny, and zero support from management or the public. Why even bother?

Just find better work and let everyone else manage without police.

Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
