A NYPD cop who has served since 2002 and made over 1000 arrests is facing not only a loss of job, but also reputation because gang-bangers are setting up a “cottage industry” of hiring dodgy lawyers to file suit against police officers. They can get away with this, because under Mayor de Blasio, when a cop is now accused, they won’t send in the Attorney General’s office or the Feds.
Essentially if a cop is accused, he has to fight it out himself. Sure, the city will pay damages almost automatically to the criminals with their fraudulent claims, but this doesn’t stop good cops getting fired so thugs can get rich quick.
David Terrell is a detective who has had a series of promotions and works specifically with the gang-bangers. He has decided to file suit against the city for not protecting him or protecting his reputation. He puts the blame squarely on “Mayor de Blasio’s anti-cop agenda.”

This article is suspiciously lacking in details. I’d be shocked if the legal protocols for complaints about police officers aren’t covered under the collective bargaining agreement between NYC and its police unions.
Big Bird came into his office with this agenda....he’s the perfect fit for the corrupt America hating RAT PARTY.
Heh. Lets see how the usual anti-cop suspects here at Free Republic react to this.
Will they now turn out to be De Blah blah blah supporters?
I didn’t finish reading the article because it’s so poorly written I felt it was a waste of time.
Blah blah blah lack of details blah blah blah click me
The great irony of marxist in short-pants Bill de Blasio is that he only has his position to spout his phony collectivism, because he is mayor of the city that skims off the richest crony-caplitalists operating in the financial capital of the world’s empire
As long as violent crime is low in NYC its hard to make a ‘good of the public’ case against how the city cops are treated.
In Baltimore violent crime has skyrocketed since the city launched their war on cops with the failed Freddy Gray case.
They seem a bit embarrassed about it but it hasn’t spread into the nicer areas of that city(where the taxpayers are), its confined to bad areas.
Typical IWB article. Almost all are poorly researched, poorly written, sensational, and devoid of content. Other than that, it’s a fine site.
I was a LEO for 25 years and I always carried personal liability insurance to the tune of one million dollars. It would be crazy to expect the government to put together a proper defense when they can just print money to settle the case.
The only time the government seemed to put together a good team is when they decide to prosecute the LEO.
An insurance company on the other hand will fight tooth and nail to not pay out a penny.
Glad I never had to use it but it's an essential part of any LEOs safety equipment.
