Cops furious over NYPD response as coronavirus pandemic tightens grip on city

The NYPD is trying to reassure its rank-and-file during the coronavirus pandemic that has gripped the Big Apple — but cops feel like the top brass couldn’t care less about their well-being. “We must be expendable,” one police source griped, calling the lack of direction “bulls–t.” Police officers across the city have been on edge for days, unsure about the spread of the virus in the department, unclear over what shift changes were coming down the pike and unable to get any answers. “It goes to show from the top-down no one gives a s–t,” another source said. “It’s clear how they feel.”

Welcome to the liberal paradise of a dem controlled city.

Cops getting assaulted, drenched, and now hung out there during a lockdown. They have no backing from city hall.

[Mariner]

The first of many lamentations from NYC.
But anger will come eventually.

[GuavaCheesePuff]

Policing in general needs a culture change. I’m not saying that they deserve this, but they work for the people and they should realize it.

[dfwgator]

They could’ve used Rudy right about now.

This is one instance where unions can be useful. Management (City Hall) will not tell the truth. But the union will tell the truth. They will tell us what’s really going on here.

They chose to be cops.

They can quit.

just wait until they decide to release all of the rikers prisoners...

Meanwhile this virus will be gone in a few months, and there are still 25,000 fewer Americans dead from it than Influenza.

“I’m not saying they deserve this...”
Whenever people make statements like this it means “yes, I am actually saying this, but I don’t want to get in trouble for it”.

So how do you feel the cops deserve this?

and there are still 25,000 fewer Americans dead from it than Influenza.

Take your stats to the hospitals in NYC to let them know things aren't as bad as what they see in front of their own faces.

The commie DeBozzo DeCommio is to blame for this. “You shall know them by heir works.”

[JoSixChip]

Go ahead, keep everybody locked up another week. See what happens in the cities. I thought there would be riots in the street by now, but it is coming.

[deanking]

Amen. They are well compensated in but are free to quit and take their chances in this panic induced recession

[JoSixChip]

just wait until they decide to release all of the rikers prisoners.

They would have to quarantine them, coronavirus has hit rikers island.

[JoSixChip]

Meanwhile this virus will be gone in a few months

I don't believe many Americans are going to remain locked down for months. I know I won't. This better be contained enough after 15 days, or I think we will see serious resistance.

They have hated Dibasio since he took office and with good reason. he’s done nothing for te city and worse they still don’t know what his wife did with the missing 2 Billion.

DiBasio is a crook, liar and reminds me of Kim UN.....puts out there all the feel good cookies and flowers to New Yorkers as if he’s doing something when in fact he really doesn’t give a hoot about New Yorkers.

[Vendome]

can you point me to a resource that bolsters your assertion.

Been on the internet all week and just can’t find the stats.

Thnx
