Due to some sort of copyright mistake, the OTR shows are in the public domain. They’re all at the link below, free to download. My favorite by far: Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.

Hey...the Irish and the Italians put thug commies like the Cuomo’s and the Daley’s into power for decades.
De Blasio is another one of their disasters.
Bloc voting for Rat party appartchiks leads to this.
Reap whatcha sow. Next time vote for an American.

Anyone recall the NYPD booth at a homo S&M gala a couple years back? Gotta wonder about their goals with this. Because it isnt going to be quality work from their targeted hires.You always need community relations officers, and undercovers who can "pass." The question is, of course, loyalty.

To turn their back on the Irish Police tradition in New York--on the sense of pride that certain families have & had in their kith & kins' achievement, is simply another example of the PC madness that was destroying America before Donald Trump stept into the breach!

Johnny Dollar (Bob Bailey) is another favorite.
Candy Matson is enjoyable too.

The left rears its ugly racist head again. Nothing new to see here folks. Affirmative Action has been around for decades. Racist is the dem’s middle name.

Queer Irish are welcomed to apply, so long as they prove they are actually queer.

There are generally two camps of thought about where the term comes from, and both have to do with encounters with the police. The difference is whether the Irish were the ones being arrested or the ones doing the arresting.
In the Oxford Dictionary, the term “paddy wagon” is said to have appeared in the 1930s, “perhaps because formerly many American police officers were of Irish descent.” The word comes from the phrase “Paddy,” it says, which that same dictionary acknowledges is slang for an Irishmanchiefly used in a derogatory way.
The second theory goes back further, to the 1840s and 1850s, when according to some accounts the majority of people being transported by police were poverty-stricken Irish Americans acting out against their destitute conditions.

Loyalty?
Ah..
Telford and Rotherham showed police loyalty in Britain, coming here soon.

Yep.

I hear quadraplegics are hugely under represented for beat cops
60 or less IQ Police Officers need to be posted to the most Liberal sections of the city immediately to make up for the discrimination.
Is their any way that ex-cons can be required for all building security in those same areas ??

Remember, the police are paramilitary and top-down. Those UK cops' orders came from above them. Disgusting and disgraceful, nevertheless. Finally a woman councillor in UK exposed the entire mess, and got run out of public life, like our Michelle Bachmann did for trying to expose islamist infiltration in our government, while Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was providing the pipeline directly into Congress, and HillaryHumaObozo into the executive branch.
