Any New York City police officers refusing to make arrests or issue traffic violations to express their dissatisfaction with Mayor Bill de Blasio will face forceful consequences, the department’s top cop said Monday.

New York Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said at a press conference that while he is not convinced the NYPD's rank-and-file is engaging in an organized work slowdown, he is actively investigating a dramatic drop in arrests in recent weeks and will deal swiftly with any intentional slacking off.

“We’re watching that very closely,” Bratton said Monday of the dip in summonses and arrests. He’s ordering a “comprehensive review of what has been happening,” drilling down to the precinct and squad car level to determine who is working and who may be dropping the ball.

The number of summonses in the city is down 90 percent for the week ending Sunday, according to the Daily News, while arrests are down 56 percent compared to the year before.

The steep drop in arrests follows several public incidents in which hundreds of police officers turned their backs to the mayor. They first turned as the mayor arrived at a New York City hospital after the killing of two cops, Wenjian Liu and Raphael Ramos, by a man apparently seeking revenge for two deaths involving police officers, those of Ferguson, Mo., teenager Michael Brown and of Eric Garner of Staten Island, N.Y.

The officers turned their backs again, first at Ramos's funeral and then at Liu's funeral this Sunday, to express their dissatisfaction with de Blasio's treatment of the NYPD. De Blasio’s critics have charged that the mayor inflamed anti-police tensions by sympathizing with those protesting the treatment of Brown and Garner.

“At this time, I would not use the term slowdown,” Bratton said. But he added that if he determines that the drop in arrests is part of an organized effort on the part of police, “we will deal with it very forcefully.”.

The commissioner stressed that the drop in summonses and arrests had not yet led to an increase in crime. On Monday, the mayor and Bratton announced a 4.6 percent decline in major crimes last year as compared to the year before.

“We’re not in a public safety crisis in New York City, by any stretch of the imagination,” Bratton said.

De Blasio, who has repeatedly praised the police department in recent weeks, said he believed it was too soon to consider the trend a deliberate slowdown.

“We need to see a little time pass before we can draw conclusions,” De Blasio said.

Both Bratton and the mayor both criticized the officers who turned their backs Sunday.

“They were disrespectful to the family involved, that’s the bottom line,” De Blasio said of the hundreds of officers who turned their backs to him at Liu’s funeral on Sunday. Bratton said the officers “embarrassed themselves” by making a political statement in the middle of a funeral.

The flat feet need to be severely DISCIPLINED.

Clearly they are lacking, not only PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, but greatly in need of DISCIPLINE.

I hope he drops the hammer on them.

Racist bastard!!! Scum like you are a BIG PART of the divide, Al Junior!

For all you fools out there that like to bash the Klan, well take a good look around... Its the new Klan because they allow tools like this to still consume 02

Oh no this because of Global Warming?

The police in NY have been turning their backs to the mayor, not the public.

No jackass, by turning their backs on the PUBLIC SERVANT that was recently voted in by a OVERWHELMING margin, that is CURRENTLY enjoying the support of the public, the NYPD are OPENLY turning their backs on the good people of NYC.

You fucking liar. New York is totally dominated by the Democratic Party and the real election was in the Democratic Primary.

New York City mayoral election 2013 - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

 

[JimBowie1958]

If the NYPD continues with their childish actions and political rants and meltdowns, the good people of NYC are going to think less and less of them.

Won't be helpful to them keeping law and order.

That's for DAMN sure.

Good, bring it.

Fucks like you are nothing but talk.

Let the shooting commence.

 

[JimBowie1958]

Spew all of the diversions you want...you made a veiled threat. You can back off of it now, all you had to say is that you misspoke and I would have quietly backed away...but now you are acting like a sophomoric teaper, trying to defend the stupid.

I have no control over you PERCEPTIONS sir, however, I'd love to see that charge proven in a court of law.

Good luck with that.

Perceptions define the strength of your argument.

he didnt make a threat...he gave a concern on what could happen if this crud continues...to see it any other way is a far stretchhhhhhh....

I have the same concern...they could be escalating the issues, but hey, they're grown men, these Officers of Peace...they can do what they want....be as childish as they want, be as disrespectful to those being buried as they want....whatever... it's their choice

Working 'by the book' is an old union tactic to cause a work slowdown. Most rules that people are supposed to go by are time sinks that are usually just ignored.

Working 'by the book' is just doing their job as they are 'supposed to do it' by rules laid down by management.

Bratton should drop the fucking hammer on his own damned self if working by the book is such a bad thing; he helped write the godamned book.

If the police are now doing everything by the BOOK thus causing a HUGE SLOW DOWN, he can fire whoever he likes and then be sued for those firings....he's been through this years ago, and he can't BULLSHIT those that know!

he's a fairly new nyc police commissioner, maybe he doesn;t know he's really not 'the boss' as he was hired to be?

Bratton served under previous mayors.

With our form of government we have only ourselves to blame; we get the government we deserve.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Hispanic males. Wonder if they are here illegally ?

 

[Rozman]

Black or white...it doesn't matter. The stats show that whites kill cops at a much higher rate and proportion than any other race. Those fucking savages have no respect for LEO. They want to destroy America.

Who's Leo?

 

[Care4all]

Hispanic males. Wonder if they are here illegally ?

if they are Puerto Ricans and born there, they are American citizens at birth and can even run for President...

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Hispanic males. Wonder if they are here illegally ?

if they are Puerto Ricans and born there, they are American citizens at birth and can even run for President...

I know, there are millions of Mexican-Americans too, but I'm so used to hearing stories of criminal Hispanics breaking laws and getting violent here, and so many of them turn out to be here illegal.

 

[Theowl32]

so were they black shooters?

Black shooters, white criminals who hate cops, all fucking left wing pieces of shit. One in the same, regardless of color of skin.

Let it be a war. I am ready.

SNAP OUT OF IT!!!

You are severely misguided. Just as there are millions of reformed fools that regret voting for Obama, there are NY voters that regret voting for their current mayor.

Calling me names and posting cute pictures does nothing for you argument.

Knowing your history here on USMB, I clearly understand your dementia.

Liberalism is a mental disorder and you have been stricken with it.
