To work as a NY Cop and face NY prices, taxes, fentanyl, BLM and @$$hole woke politicians, judges and citizens?

My minimum would be $500K per year.

This is the same Eric Adams who declared the law has no meaning when he stated New York City is a "sanctuary city".

Let Mayor Adams, a former police officer himself, go back on the job. He helped make the mess, let him solve it.

Let Mayor Adams see reach out to his predecessor Kaiser Wilhelm Deblasio who fired Officer Panteleo despite two juries finding no cause to charge him.

They were told to leave and they said ok.

Enjoy the suck.

Swear ‘en in as they get off the bus.

If Leftest were able to think their policies through, they wouldn’t be leftest. It’s whatever sounds good at the time.

[Celtic Conservative]

Gee,I wonder why?

Mayor, look up “self inflicted wound” to describe your current staffing issues.

Sheesh...start here...

Funny how he doesn't even mention this as a gross and foolish mistake. Odd that, huh? He's trying to thread the needle.

NYC cuts $1B from police budget amid calls for reform

New York Police Department budget slashed $1 billion

Taking effect in the 2021 fiscal year, the $1 billion in NYPD cuts will come from a combination of sources. New York City reduced a billion dollars from the NYPD in its city budget for the next year.

Police reform advocates, cop supporters and President Trump expressed their discontent with slashing the NYPD's budget.

For the 2021 fiscal year, the $1 billion reduction in the NYPD's operating budget includes $484 million in cuts to the department; shifting the command of school officers to the Department of Education; eliminating two of the four NYPD training classes this year, which reduced headcount by 1,163 uniform officers; and reducing overtime spending by $352 million, according to the city council.

The pay must be really, really good to convince someone to walk around with a target on their back front.

[Machavelli]

Can this guy be that STUPID?

[wally_bert]

Give me the classic Naked City.

[rlmorel]

You know what this will result in, without a doubt:

[Pirate Ragnar]

Tom Selleck and his gang will volunteer.

[P.O.E.]

Well that was hard to predict. /s

Back in the sixties if I recall NYPD had close to fifty thousand cops.

A classic zombie flick.

“… no one does it better than the New York Police Department.”

Really, Eric?

Typical NYC arrogance and parochialism. And delusion, of course.
