William Bratton is at the end of an unparalleled law enforcement career that saw him run police departments in Boston, Los Angeles and New York and advocate crime fighting strategies that were copied across the nation.

The 68-year-old is due to step down Friday after three years in his second stint as New York’s police commissioner.

“He’s taking a job as a private security executive. …”

Why? He’s 68 years old and he’s got to be pulling down a pension well into six figures. Jeez, man, take a rest. You’ve earned it.

The verdict on “broken windows” policing seems to be that the results don’t endure very long.

Perhaps the opposite approach - addressing root causes rather than end symptoms - might have a more durable benefit.

Giuliani showed that at least an area could be safe & clean with “broken windows” policing - and it did help remove career criminals when the fare beaters had warrants for more serious crimes.

Good Riddance to Mr. Amnesty Bratton, the SOB who refused to help the INS, the Border Patrol and any one else in the business of immigration law enforcement in Los Angeles.

He’s the guy who made Kate Steinle’s murder inevitable as he pioneered the concept of never, ever prosecuting an illegal alien for ANYTHING in California, thus making criminal alien’s into a Protected Class above all others in our state.

He should have been impeached and imprisoned for malfeasance 20 years ago.
