The New Bad Days are about to get badder

 

 NY Post

More than 1,500 NYPD officers have either resigned or retired so far this year – on pace to be the biggest exodus of officers since the statistics have been available, The Post has learned.

Some 524 cops have resigned and 1,072 have retired as of May 31, NYPD pension stats obtained by The Post show.

The 1,596 total is a 38% spike from the same period in 2021, when 1,159 cops called it a career, and a staggering 46% climb from 2020, when 1,092 left the force by the same date.

Anti-cop hostility, bail reform, and rising crime have fed into frustration among the NYPD rank and file, according to one NYPD officer who recently fled for greener pastures at a Long Island police department after 6 1/2 years with the New York’s Finest. 

 The city is out of control — especially since bail reform,” according to the former Queens cop, who asked to be identified only as “Joe.” The mantra now is “get out while you still can.”

Joe’s patrol gig “got worse and worse” over time, he said.

“The last few years so many people had been leaving and manpower was so low that you’d go to work and you’d answer 25 to 30 jobs a day and you’re burnt out by the end of the day,” he said, adding, “there was no time for law enforcement” because it would be “radio run, radio run, radio run all day long.”

Even when he made an arrest, “they were back in the precinct picking up their property the same day.”

Who can blame them? Whenever they try to lock up people, they are just back out to wreak havoc again in a few days. It's like what's the point to even catching criminals to begin with if they will only be released a week later? Also, if they even TRY to touch someone, they are considered a racist. With the soft on crime policies and all the movements these days, the governments have really lost alot of control with these people. What really needs to be done is keep rikers opened and perhaps make part of it into a psychiatric unit for the mentally ill. And we should bring back the death penalty and solitary confinement. Those who want to be rehabilitated should be able to do so as well. The hardened criminals that are lost causes and who have no "mental issues" should just be given the death penalty and call it a day by saving taxpayers' dollars. Also, the cops in nyc don't make that great of pay without overtime and the city requires them to live within city limits which is a bit harsh.

Tese are not atypical numbers, its just the PBA trying to scare people. Its actually substantially down since 2020 (2600), and approximately the same as in 2019 (1509).

There are typically around 1300 retirements a year, so the truly atypical year was 2021. The number of officers on the force has also risen once again to its pre pandemic levels of around 36000.

There clearly isnt a causal relationship here, and its dishonest for the NYPD to claim otherwise.

To keep this in perspective, there are still 34,687 cops after all these retirements and resignations.

That's as many cops as are employed by Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Houston, and Washington (DC) (Metropolitan Police, not federal) combined.

Is bail reform without a dangerousness standard contributing to the increase in crime? Absolutely. However, that's not the whole story as so-called conservatives here claim.

The NYPD is actively going slow (pun intended.) Cops are creating their own self-fulfilling prophecy that crime is getting worse by not taking proactive action "because of the diaphragm law" or "because the perp will just be released the same or next day", failing to take in account that the criminal justice system isn't just about pre-trial detention. Building arrest histories will (hopefully, eventually) get criminals locked away for longer periods of time.

Police response times would be much better if the NYPD moved away from their doctrine of "overwhelming force" and sending 3 cars to a fistfight, clearing extraneous officers from secured crime scenes faster, and stopping the practice of conducting staged photo ops when they find drugs or a gun.

And what did the officer quoted in the article mean that the job is no longer about law enforcement, and just chasing radio calls? What are these calls about if not police matters? I'd like to know way more details about what he's talking about. If 911 calls are about non-police matters, why isn't central refusing them?

This narrative about the police and policing being victims of liberals and criminals needs to end, the police created this whole situation in the first place by regularly wrongfully arresting, beating, raping, shooting, sodomizing, and killing people in the preceding decades. If they had acted lawfully all those years, there wouldn't be a diaphragm law, there wouldn't be body cams, there wouldn't need to be police reform. This is all their fault.

I have grown up with two criminal brothers, so I have been somewhat immersed in this type of anti-police culture. It is a problem for me as I often conflate people who dislike police with degenerate scum. So please stop spreading B.S. about the fine women and men of the NYPD.

Here Are The Top 10 Questions To Ask A Liberal

1. Why was George W. Bush a bad President but Barack Obama is a good one?
Obama ignored the Constitution, spied on every single American, killed women and children
with drone strikes, and has saddled the country with a health care law that will bankrupt
the middle class and require an insurance company bailout of epic proportions. I’d say,
even to liberals, Bush Jr. looks pretty good by comparison.

2. How can you count to ten if you skip the number two?
Liberals also don’t seem to understand that the 2nd Amendment protects all the others.
Tyrants can’t take speech and voting rights away from an armed populace.

3. How will punishing law-abiding people stop criminals from breaking the law?
Every liberal gun control law either passed or proposed places arbitrary restrictions on
law-abiding citizens.

4. Does it make sense to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result?
Libs want to expand these failed programs. Now that really is the definition of insanity.

5. How does stagnating growth stimulate the economy?

6. Why is it okay to kill unborn children but wrong to kill convicted murderers?

7. Do you know what a pyramid scheme is? Sounds an awful lot like ObamaCare.

8. How are rules that only apply to one group of people not discriminatory and racist?

9. How are rules that apply equally to everyone discriminatory and racist?

10. How many people should we let into this country?

"Is bail reform without a dangerousness standard contributing to the increase in crime? Absolutely. However, that's not the whole story as so-called conservatives here claim."

No, but it's a huge part of the story, and a very easy fix if the state weren't run by Progressive nitwits.

"Cops are creating their own self-fulfilling prophecy that crime is getting worse by not taking proactive action"

Chicken and egg problem. Why should we expect cops to engage in pointless behavior brought about by stupid Progressives? Why should cops put their careers and lives on the line for ungrateful, cop-hating Progressives who spend 100x the amount of energy going after cops than they spend going after criminals?

"Building arrest histories will (hopefully, eventually) get criminals locked away for longer periods of time."

Hopefully! Eventually! But no, it won't, not with Progressive DAs and stupid laws.

"This narrative about the police and policing being victims of liberals and criminals needs to end"

Why? It's true, so why should it end? Because it goes against your crackpot politics?

"the police created this whole situation in the first place by regularly wrongfully arresting, beating, raping, shooting, sodomizing, and killing people in the preceding decades"

Lol, yeah sure, "regularly." This is entirely Progressive mythology. Like more blacks being shot by cops, "systemic racism," and all the rest of the Progressive fantasy land.

"If they had acted lawfully all those years, there wouldn't be a diaphragm law, there wouldn't be body cams, there wouldn't need to be police reform."

We have had police reform after police reform. To the point where we've "reformed" the police into being nearly useless.

"This is all their fault."

Sure thing, Spanky. Of course it's not the fault of the actual criminals committing the crimes (almost entirely black and Hispanic). And it's not the fault of Progressive politicians who have spent decades demonizing the police, reducing their effectiveness and making THEM the criminals. And it's not the fault of the media for continually focusing on the rare instances of police misconduct while largely ignoring the scope and complexion of crime.

It's somebody fault alright, Spanky. It's YOUR fault, and those like you.

Why is the NY State so powerless against criminals, and yet so ruthless with honest people?

Anonymous said...

This is called Anarcho-Tyranny.
The state refuses to control real criminals (that's the anarchy) but instead control the innocent (that's the tyranny). Samuel T. Francis coined the term.
I Googled it for the Sheeple...

“The formal mechanisms of mass liberal democracy – regular elections, competing political parties, universal suffrage, and legal and political rights – do not significantly mitigate the monolithic and uniform concentration of managerial power. The “despotism” of the regime – its tendency toward the monopolization of political, economic, and cultural power by a single social and political force of managerial and technical skills and the expansive, uniform, and centralized nature of its power – is a direct consequence of the contracted composition of the lite and the restriction of its membership to element proficient in managerial and technical skills. The narrowness of the elite that results fro this restriction insulates it from the influence of non-managerial social and political forces and reduces their ability to gain positions within the elite fro which they can moderate, balance or restrain its commands. Their exclusion from the elite contributes to the frustration of their aspirations and interests and encourages their alienation from the conflict with the elite and the destabilization and weakening of the regime.”

"People who express anti-police sentiments might just have a problem with authority."

Or, people who are sick of all the constant scandals, corruption, and brutality. Why have the police unions and brass rejected recommendations of anti-corruption commissions, rioted when the CCRB went full civilian, and whine when logical police reform is enacted? The police have a problem with authority, too, they want to be the only authority on the planet.
