NYPD officer on police work: “The job is dead ... You would be crazy to take this job at this day and age”

An anonymous NYPD officer recently said morale throughout the department has hit an all-time low amid widespread opposition to and hostility toward police.

“The term for NYPD that is going around in every command in the city is, ‘The job is dead.’ You would be crazy to take this job now in this day and age. ... It’s sad that that’s where we are at right now. People who are saying that we’re afraid, we’re not afraid. We just want to be supported.”

He said these problems are not just in New York City, but “across the United States.”

“When I became a police officer many years ago, I never thought that I would have to put this uniform on and be looked at as the enemy and to be hated. And it’s not fair because we sacrifice ourselves every day. No matter what your skin color is, it’s sad. In my tenure here at NYPD, I can never ever imagine that it would be this bad, as far as not being supported.”

Citing several statistics, he said crime in New York City has skyrocketed under the governance of Mayor Bill de Blasio, the city council, and the district attorney’s office.

“Why would you even want to put the uniform on to take the job if we’re putting them in jail for the crimes that they commit and the D.A.’s just going to release them? What’s the point of doing the job? It defeats the purpose. It’s just a revolving door,” he said.

The officer said he used to be a Democrat, and, although he would not consider himself one to follow politics, he considers himself a Republican. He said he thinks President Trump “absolutely” supports the police,

When asked if he thinks Joe Biden and Kamala Harris support the police, he said: “Absolutely not. They would not support us. People who allow these protesters to talk about how they want to defund the police department, we’re there to make sure that nothing happens to them, but they’re the ones saying that they want us dead.”

These events are no longer protests or riots. They are too organized, too continuous....
.......
This is an armed insurrection.

If you don’t begin exterminating termites as soon as they become known, the infestation will only spread and get much much worse, and they will destroy your entire house.

You Can NOT re-educate them to STOP Destroying your home.

The title of the thread just above this one is applicable here, just change NYPD to POPD:

"NYPD officer on police work: "The job is dead ... You would be crazy to take this job at this day and age""

The rule used to be if you had a Molotov bottle in your hand the cops would shoot you (real bullets)....
If you had rocks and bottles then the batons would come out.....
Time to go old school....

The rioters are trying to trigger a Kent State-type response. That’s the whole objective.

If I weren’t busy at my business and unemployed, I’d be going to Portland to do some plinking with my .22. Subsonic, heavy grain, suppressed.

And I wouldn’t be shooting at knees, only face shields of those obviously using radios or with antennas. Old habits die hard.

The cops need devices that shoot bottles and rocks. Any rioters who throw bottles or rocks will get the same items shot back at them.
