NYPD Officer: Not Worth It to Make Arrests "if I Have a Chance of Getting My Head Blown Off"

With reports that the NYPD is looking into as many as 63 threats against police officers, or the mayor this week alone, news also comes of a lack of motivation among the rank and file, undoubtedly contributing to a significant drop in arrest numbers across the city.

“[There’s] just not motivation,” one police officer told [Vice]. “I’m not writing people summonses if I have a chance of getting my head blown off.” When asked if this was his own choice or a precinct-wide initiative, the officer added, “Seems like the entire department is on the same page.”

As the New York Daily News reported, “citywide summons issued this past week numbered just 2,128, compared to 26,512 a week earlier. In that period, exactly one summons was issued in the 84th Precinct, where Liu and Ramos were stationed—just one.”

Deconstruction of the civil society is right out of the left-wing playbook. Dismantling the traditional family, traditional family values, and law and order are a big part of this process.

This is absolutely correct and this is a top-down deconstruction we are witnessing here. The goal is to destroy all traditional structures and then replace it with a single, minority-mob-supported dictatorship.

Then you are nuts.

Thanks for expressing your opinion with logic and reasoning.

"The only laws that should exist are those one is willing to kill over, because the hand of government is force. This way, police don’t have to risk their lives over stupid laws and the people will be much happier."

That is insane, and ridiculous thinking.

[MeatshieldActual]

I think there might be some confusion. I am NOT saying that people should be killed over every legal infraction, I am just saying that people can be killed over legal infractions. Sadly, that is how law enforcement has worked in every civilization that has ever existed.

That is why I think having a society with minimal laws is best. That way police wont risk their lives, and the lives of others, over trivial matters. Only have laws to protect real victims, instead of laws that victimize people.

[ansel12]

You mean like laws that libertarians consider social conservatism?

[MeatshieldActual]

To support laws that restrict the exercise of rightful liberty is statist, regardless of one’s political affiliations. I'm against statism, period.

[ansel12]

Whatever that means, you won’t say.

You are so guarded and coy, that it looks like this isn’t your first account here at FR.

[MeatshieldActual]

I love liberty, what else is there to say?

[ansel12]

That you are a liberal retread.

[MrB]

The only laws that should exist are those one is willing to kill over, because the hand of government is force.

That’s one concept that “I’m a good person” liberals
WILL NOT
admit to. Government is force. It is deadly force. Whatever laws the people authorize are laws that the people authorize the use of deadly force to ensure compliance.

Liberals don’t like to admit that, and will twist themselves in knots to avoid it.

[MeatshieldActual]

Well that’s not very nice, what is with the personal attack?

[ansel12]

When a nooby signs up, and is outed as a troll, and/or retread, that isn’t a personal attack, it is just an observation.

After five days of your bizarre time wasting troll nonsense, it is just an observation.

[MeatshieldActual]

So every new person who expresses an opinion is a troll? Interesting logic.

[ansel12]

LOL, yeah, you are a retread alright.

This isn’t your first play at trolling.

[MeatshieldActual]

trolling

You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
