So in other cop news as well two NYPD Narcotics detectives were caught stealing money from a bodega during a raid. They were both fired, one of the cops just happened to be the most sued police officer in the city, and a retired cop on Staten Island was caught running an illegal poker ring. Man it's like there is some kind of culture of corruption in the NYPD.

Growing up in the early 90s I recall there being a big dust up cause an NYPD officer killed a kid for pointing a toy gun at him, back when toy guns looked realistic, and that's why toy guns are banned in NYC. So yeah the police are terrible now, just slightly less so and in different ways than 30-40 years ago. Hell as much as I dislike the NYPD I'm sure as hell a lot fewer cops are on the take today than say in 1985.

My Rhythmic Crotch posted:I'll be watching this one closely as I unfortunately lived many years in that shithole of a state. It's just as backwards and racist as you'd imagine so I'm not sure what the response will be. My gut instinct is "not much" - both in terms of investigation into the incident and response from the citizens. The cop that said "You shouldn't have loving run" is pretty much going to the societies view of it, he ran so "he deserved what he got." American society is loving disgusting

I know after 9/11 a bunch of supposed experts on The Islamic Terror got big bucks for giving lectures to cops and feds and stuff--their expertise turned out to be reading Krauthammer articles. Sounds like a lot of those anti-Satanic cult seminars cops had deal with in the 80s/90s and that was just dudes making poo poo up.

So Bill deBlasio has decided against hiring a thousand more cops for the NYPD and instead wants to focus his budget on Social services. Of course moat of the news papers are acting like he's stabbing the NYPD in the back and one paper's headline is calling this him turning his backs on the police.

So here in New York City the Cops and the Media are yet again trying to hype everyone about the return of the "bad old days," today by hyping about how felony assaults on the Subway are up 27%. What you find out when you open the paper and get to the page the story is on it turns out that these crimes are up from something like the low 70s last year to 99 people this year, so less than a hundred people have been attacked on the Subway in the city of 8 million people and we're all suppose to act like it's going to be 1982 all over again cause of our Democrat mayor.

ToastyPotato posted:I think the most infuriating thing is that there is almost no counter narrative to this. It's weird that so many people consider NYC to be a liberal town when the first Democratic mayor in a while has been nothing but vilified in the media from the the moment he took office (and mostly because he dared question police behavior.) And a ton of people I know for a fact are Democrats do nothing but share and help propagate these stories and opinions. Seriously, I have heard "worst mayor ever" from as many democrats as republicans at this point. But then again, the NY Post remains extremely popular here. I think it has more to do with that he has a mixed race family. The things I've heard people call his wife , shockingly bigoted doesn't even cover it, and living on Staten Island I hear it a lot. I'm baffled by people that call DeBlasio out of touch when we had 12 plus years of a billionaire who's idea for affordable housing for people trying to start their lives were long prison cells. Like I saw this a lot when DeBlasio was talking about how much the MTA sucks and a lot of people told him to suck it up cause that's how it is and I was stunned cause I just know the same people saying that bitch about the MTA whenever the train is crowded or the bus is late (if it shows up at all). I feel like people are determined to make him into a modern day Dinkins regardless of how well he governs or not.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:So how about that previous question. If an officer is alone but has a bodycam recording and murders someone, the bodycam is effectively inadmissable absent another witness? The officer could literally be caught with a smoking gun standing over a dead body, and you're saying the appropriate legal response is just to shrug your shoulders? Isn't that what we do already with killer cops anyway?

So something I saw on NY1 (a local 24 hour cable channel on Time Warner for NYC) last night was just more proof that the NYPD is the greatest enemy to the city of New York there is. The Sergeant Benevolent Association is encouraging all of its members to post pictures of homeless people in the city on a page on their website about the "decline" of a great city. They of course claim this isn't political and that the cops are the last city workers without a contract had nothing to do with it. Much like how back in May the police and local media were hyping a massive crime wave until Mayor DeBlasio agreed to hire a few thousand more cops and the next day the police pretty much admitted they had been over hyping it. I'm kind of surprised there isn't sine kind of NYC or State megathread considering how almost shamelessly corrupt politics is in New York there's always something happening. And to touch on Blue Lives Matter, I live on Staten Island and it's pretty much Just World Fallacy the geographical location. It seems like every one that lives here is either a cop, related to someone who is a cop or have friends that are cops so criticizing the police for anything is non starter. This is the place that sent Michael loving Grimm to Congress and than rewarded the DA who let the cop who killed Eric Garner walk. Which it turns it a buddy of mine lives near where that cops parents live and for the last year and up until this post and probably beyond they've had 24/7 police protection outside. Which I thought was absurd to begin with, but at this point after it I think it's even more so. But in summary Staten Island is a horrid loving place living here sometimes feels like living in a red state thank god the rat of the city is a boat ride away.

PostNouveau posted:Oh yeah, cool system. I'm sure it works great. It's a start that better than nothing. FAUXTON posted:Staten Island? Or Manhattan? Or NYC at large? Staten Island is the worst part of this whole goddamn city. Filled near to the brim with over privileged reactionary racist assholes, where just about everyone is either a cop. the friend of a cop or the family member of a cop. So god forbid you offer criticism of police behaviors without them jumping down your throat accusing you of hating cops and wanting their family/friends to die. It's like living in the worst parts of this thread only every day.

So a Black NYPD officer has just charged the Highway division of the the NYPD with being racist. http://m.nydailynews.com/new-york/black-nypd-highway-blows-whistle-racism-article-1.2359060?cid=bitly Choice bits from the article quote:"In May of 2015 I came in with 82 summonses, which is well above the quota of 70 per month...After that I was not allowed to use an unmarked (car) to get me to stop being successful and to get me transferred out of highway," he charges in the complaint. I really love (wait no whats the opposite of that, hate, yes hate) that they no longer assigned this guy to a predominately black part of Queens, what did they think he was going to go easy on them?

So while we worry about the police and their right to privacy various police departments like the NYPD have been driving around in X-ray vans spying on everyone they go past and tapping phones at every chance they get. Privacy for the police, none for the citizens.

The only time that comes into effect is when a police officer enters a private residence since the days you have no expectation of privacy any where else. Also again they police are already massively violating people's right to privacy right now.

If reading Nixonland has taught me anything, it's a poo poo ton of cases, but even than people knew it was bullshit but white supremacy won time and time again against people trying to report on it. And that these people have been using the exact same defense to cover for police abuse since than. Even down to making murders into Right Wing hero's and wealthy with donations like Lt.
