Irish cop heroes honored, but Irish hiring discouraged at NYPD

The NYPD police union this week honored heroic members of the force who stopped recent tragedies -- and most were Irish cops.

Ironic isn’t it at a time when Mayor de Blasio is specifically omitting outreach to the Irish community in the latest notifications about the NYPD entrance exam in the name of diversity.

Last year a $54 million campaign to widen the base of the department was announced.

The press release stated there will be a “particular focus on African American, Asian, Jewish, Muslim, women and LGBTQ applicants," according to the request for proposals released last October. No Irish or Italian, for generations the backbone of the NYPD, need apply was the clear message....

The Dope from Park Slope is a disaster.

Irish need not apply?

Anyone recall the NYPD booth at a homo S&M “gala” a couple years back?
Gotta wonder about their goals with this.
Because it isn’t going to be “quality” work from their targeted hires.

No Dogs - No Irish

Why aren’t people suing .

This is a Lawyers dream .

Why ?

[ichabod1]

More dancing traffic cops?

“particular focus on”
Completely illegal and unconstitutional. If there’s a law that allows discrimination based on national origin, that law is invalid and not binding.

Why would the Irish want to defend a city that no longer represents them? Let the mutts have it.

Danny Clover - no police job for you.

Gino Tartaglia - Enjoy the promotion to lieutenant. Broadway is really your beat now.

Shades of Blazing Saddles. Lol.

We’ll give some land to the niggers and the chinks... ...but we don’t want the Irish!

[OddLane]

No Irish Need Apply

[Retvet]

Haven’t you realized leftists don’t want law enforced. They just want to talk about the law. Like, Is this law fair to criminals? What was this criminal’s child hood like? Why are judges so judgemental? Why should anyone be punished? So on and so on.

> Danny Clover - no police job for you. <

It took me a second to recognize that name, but I got it. Yes, Clover worked from Times Square to Columbus Circle - the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.

Just goes to show how old you and I are.

I knew somebody would do it - T Y 4 Posting NINA!

I’m only recently 47 but listen to a lot of OTR shows.

Tartaglia strikes me as an early version of Stavros who was one of Kojak’s guys.

BIMB is a good series, almost on par with Dragnet and Tales Of The Texas Rangers.

Diversity means “not excellence”

[Darksheare]

Well, dancing of some kind maybe.
