The NYPD’s third-in-command told an underling to “sit down” as he excoriated him for shoddy paperwork and lack of training at a recent closed-door meeting, according to video obtained by The Post Sunday.
The clip shows a frustrated Chief of Department Rodney Harrison dressing down Deputy Inspector Michael King, the commander of the Special Victims Division, at Thursday’s Compstat meeting at One Police Plaza.
Harrison is set off after King admits that the embattled division — which probes sex crimes — has a “very big problem on this job with documentation.”
“Now, I apologize for not being a grammar school teacher but it is hard to get these detectives to document properly and write down what they should,” King says. “That is not an easy job with these detectives.”
“There’s a culture in this division, in the department, in the bureau in terms of writing things properly,” he continues, as others in the room remain silent.
Harrison then interrupts him to say, “Mike, I’m not sure if that’s the answer I want to hear” and then rattles off questions about what the commander has done in terms of addressing the issue, including any transfers or discipline.

Sounds like the expected consequence of lowering the bar for entry; probably an issue because anyone fighting charges could drive tractor trailers through the gaps in the reports.
Not sure why this incident is a big deal. It sounds like nothing more than a discussion, albeit one from a job superior to a subordinate.
Entertaining drama and dialogue, nothing really shocking.
I thought some level of accepted corruption was about to be exposed.
Why was this even made public?
This was closer to an "Attaboy".
Sounds like Rrrrrracism to me.
IS “EQUITY” part of this problem???
