This comes right after De Blasio Vows to cut funding for NYPD.

Good for them.
This is the worse scenario for any police officer to face. You have elected officials BASHING YOU INSTEAD OF HAVING YOUR BACK. Just save yourself! Let the idiot Mayor and Governor work on saving face. You can leave the most corrupt bastards in charge in NYPD and NYC! Better off for it, but so wrong and sad! God Bless these Police officers!

Dude...

Moving to PA yet?

The rest should call in and say they need to self-isolate for 2 weeks as they may have been exposed to covid19

Surely this business cannot continue. I agree it goes on and on unabated. This in Canada as well. It could be a matter of the old waiting game. Using the phrase “Shelf Life”. Those persons are only human who keep this up. Let us hope it will burn out and cease. It cannot bring back the unfortunate man. Ordinary citizens do not need this. Life sometimes presents enough day to day problems. IMHO

[yetidog]

Yes! This something that needs to happen all over the country...except where I live. Cops should just quit and let the idiots suffer the consequneces.

Only 800 out of a force of 35,000?
Its a start.

This election is going to be a desperately needed national health check. If one of the top 5 presidents in history cannot beat a very senile fingerbanger rapist on a platform of abolishing the police, it’s time to start splitting off states. It may be that time anyway.

This can mean ONLY ONE THING.. That the DemonRat politicians in NY have PERFECTED BALLOT FRAUD and do NOT fear any repercussions come election day.

This would NOT be happening if the DemonRats were worried about NOT being re-elected as a consequence for their actions.

Well, finally, blacks and Hispanics and women and kids, will be able to walk the streets without being harassed by police officers anywhere.

Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, we are free at last!!!

thats a lot of pension money there.

Smart people will rediscover the Founders weapon to fight tyranny - Committees of Safety.

Leftists will not like this discovery. Not one bit.

[PghBaldy]

Few hundred leaving is maybe nothing, but if Commisioner qjits, that is something. We shall see very soon what is up.

[Mastador1]

Someone needs to point out to the ‘protesters’ all the groovy loot in the U.N. building now that the police are gone.

[umgud]

This won’t make a statistical dent in the 35,000 strong dept.

[eldoradude]

Wonder how soon NYC will declare bankruptcy to void their police pension obligations?

[SaxxonWoods]

That’s 2.2% of the force.

[Sicon]

Given that there are ~36,000 police officers in NYC, I’m not sure 800 quitting is going to have that much of an impact...

[Maudeen]

There are some county sheriffs that are changing party affiliation.

The one problem with pulling police out of a city is trying to force sane people to keep living in that city.
