Time to put the big girl panties on a deal with it.If you joined the force to carry a gun and hang with your buddies, crack nasty jokes and bully kids who hang out at the convenience store until they feel like they have no other recourse than to fight back because these things inexplicably make you feel more manly or powerful, if you band together to turn your back on someone speaking at a funeral, then you are an embarrassment.
Simple as that — you are an embarrassment.
You're a clueless idiot. Cops are much more accountable these days. The good old days included cracking skulls with hardwood and not a goddamn thing done about it. Not that it was all bad. But to imply it's worse now is silly. The waving of emotional red flags in front of emotional audiences is what's out of control. Maybe in a few generations we will go back to reporting instead of each journalist trying to outdo each other in sensationalism in order to be a hero.Thirty five years ago street cops would retire after twenty or thirty years of patrol service and brag about never having to pull their guns in the line of duty; obviously, you can't prohibit half of humanity from police work if you expect to find enough qualified recruits; however, elimination size and gender requirements forced a rethinking of how street cops enforce command presence. Maybe another generation or two will solve the problem?35 years ago the police had standards of height and weight. A cop would be big and burly enough to do that.

I used to live on E. 3rd St. in Manhattan, across from the Men’s Shelter. It could get pretty stinky but I was fond of a lot of these guys.
Tommy the Jacket Head, who wore a jacket over his head and walked in circles mumbling to himself and then blurting out things that could have come from Stephen Hawking or Søren Kierkegaard. There was an enormously fat guy who would blurt out "Armageddon! Armageddon! Hoom!” every 10 minutes or so, but otherwise...
...
One night at about 3 a.m., I heard something going on outside and stood up on my window ledge to see what was happening. There was a cop, by himself, in a precarious situation.
A guy with a metal pipe over his head was standing in front of the cop. Two other guys were behind the cop and seemed ready to attack. An old bum was lying on the pavement and appeared to have been knocked unconscious by the other three.
The cop was white and everyone else was black. I am not sure that that matters but there you are.
Now if I had been the cop and had a gun, I cannot imagine that I would not have shot the guy with the pipe.
But he didn’t.
The cop managed to disarm the guy with the pipe by rushing him and pulling his arm over his shoulder, then handcuffing him almost all in one motion. Then he took out his gun and told the other two to get lost.
It was so insanely brave, that when I got down off of the window sill, I was on the verge of tears.
One cannot expect anyone to act as heroically as this man had — alone, in the middle of the night, with no one to see, no cameras, on a block most officers didn’t dare to go on — risking his life to not take another’s.
If you joined the force to carry a gun and hang with your buddies, crack nasty jokes and bully kids who hang out at the convenience store until they feel like they have no other recourse than to fight back because these things inexplicably make you feel more manly or powerful, if you band together to turn your back on someone speaking at a funeral, then you are an embarrassment.
Simple as that — you are an embarrassment.
But if you, in any small way, aspire to be this cop on 3rd St., 35 years ago — then, I’ve got your back. In any way in my power, I’ve got your back.
If you show this kind of integrity and courage, I dare say the whole city will have your back.

You attempt to condescend to others while revealing your own ignorance. Such lack of self-awareness is remarkable.Do all you snobs flock together so you can all be an ass? you got atta boys for being one too. amazing. people like you are a dime a dozen on this board
"Looks like" based upon what? Crime data shows that violent crime is at its lowest levels since the 1970s.Well it looks the gangs, the thugs and the criminals have gotten MORE violent over 35 years. You don't like them don't ever call for their service. simple
Presumptions? Overall crime rate is down but the gang killings, school shooting, rape of 90 yo, drive bys, etc. are something not seen much in the past. It's almost routine now, how can you dismiss it as a presumption?"Looks like" based upon what?

So you want us to believe the story because you want us to?
No room for any other opinions?

I don't believe a word of it, sorry, it is to contrived, it is to silly.
I'm glad you believe in fairytales.
I never implied there was less accountability today; I pointed out how doing away with size and gender restrictions has meant more officers are more likely to draw their weapons as part of regular patrol routine than their predecessors, who were often violent and abusive toward suspects they encountered. In LA of 50 years ago, for example, any black man caught north of Wilshire Blvd after dark got his skull cracked but wasn't as likely to be shot as young black men are today.You're a clueless idiot. Cops are much more accountable these days. The good old days included cracking skulls with hardwood and not a goddamn thing done about it. Not that it was all bad.

What the hell would you know about it?At least the author was able to properly use apostrophes. And, having read the article, the author was drawing a line between cops who function in unsung and heroic ways, and cops who join a force because they have issues with needing to be in control.
It's a legit point, but you have to be semi-literate to grasp it.
Well, unlike Stephanie, I can read an article written at the high school level. Can you? It doesn't appear that you did, or you'd realize that height/weight requirements weren't discussed.What the hell would you know about it?
Is that so? Back then the NYPD officers were capable of doing the job.irrelevant to the points made35 years ago the police had standards of height and weight. A cop would be big and burly enough to do that.
Nice dodge. The point is today's NYPD recruiting and hiring standards would make such a story extremely rare....Well, unlike Stephanie, I can read an article written at the high school level.

No Garner was NOT choked to death.Eric Garner wasn't shot, he was choked to death. Perhaps big and burly is part of the problem.
