NYPD to becom the San Angles PD of Demolition Man Fame

It's already started ...

NYPD is retraining its police force to avoid confrontation in enforcing the law. Officers are being counseled to talk the offender into cuffs .... More news to follow.

this is gonna last until that first youtube video

with the cop saying "sir, please don't stab her in the abdomen again, you are not making things better for yourself. I understand she disrespected you but your response is way out of proportion to her transgression. Drop the knife, put your hands behind your back, and prepare to be handcuffed. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation . . .

I've always been a big proponent of "Give them the police they want".

A nice story from our front lines by another officer:

I was out there tonight on Lake Shore drive while the white Protestors and a few Black Protestors were filming us and yelling. I seen a White Girl with her camera phone filming us. She was holding the camera in the air. Then some black guy grabbed the girl's phone and took off into the crowd. The girl then approached the cop next to me and stated that this black guy just grabbed her cell phone. The cop next to me raised his arms up and stated 'Don't call the police'. I started laughing and she turned to me and asked why I was laughing.I stated you don't like or want the police around so you go chase that black guy. She stated that's your job to protect me and my Property. I stated you are protesting me from doing my job. She walked away crying

Great demonstration of professionalism. And you wonder why people have lost respect for the police.

Maybe, but what do you expect? Cops suck.....until you need one.

I expect them to do their job with a sense of pride and professionalism and not to continue throwing fuel on the fire.

I was a total dirtbag reprobate in my youth and had a lot of contact with the police in my hometown. The cops were "the enemy" but I always respected them. When Officer Pierson, our juvi officer, died there were scores of us current-and ex-dirtbags who showed up to pay our respects.

That's what I expect because that's what we need.

In the abstract, I think you're right. But, while I do think that LE is becoming militarized, and that is a bad thing, I also believe that most of them (no idea what percent) are probably good folk who try and do the right thing. I have been pulled over by a fair share of cops over the years for traffic violations (my extent of LE dealings) and found every encounter to have been a professional one (even when I got a ticket).

I would have been thinking exactly what that officer said (in TacOfficers post), though I probably would have kept it to myself.
