1. The NYPD is being paid to do a job, and paid very well incidentally, and the public has a right to expect them to do their jobs. This "go slow" is just demonstrating the lack of professionalism and judgment that was the original source of complaint against them.
2. Why is this being described as a problem? There is no indication that anyone is less safe. The only "complaint" seems the decrease in revenue from fines. This seems to smack of corrupt third-world cops shaking down the peasants for what little money they have.
3. This is absurd the NY Police think they are a law unto their own. We have constitutional rights written in the knowledge that police cannot act without our consent. This group of officers should be fired and stripped their benefits.
4. Great News! The whole point many of us have been trying to make is that we do not want to live in a police state, and that policing had become overzealous.

Who will the cops side with in the coming civil war? -—————————————————————
Cops will serve and protect cops.
Sympathy for NYC after 9-11 was rampant across the country..Giuliani and Bush, both decent men and proven leaders. Should a 9-11 attack happen tody most of the USA wouldnt give a shi’ite.
I dont blame the PD for the so called cop slowdown NYC doesnt deserve a good PD!
Who do they work for now?
Themselves and their toys of war to use on the criminal/populace.
