Diva_56 in your first post you stated "The Mayor deserves everything he gets", does that mean everything besides prostate cancer?
Now you don't have to tell me about how the Mayor and his commissioner are to blame for all that is happening and has happened in this city - I know this and I too have a Bronx Residence. I know that it is their fault and that is the point I am trying to make. We, as New York Residents can't blame all New York City Police Officers! I don't care what yall say; they have done more good then bad, and they have protected more then they have harmed - Plain and simple! It hurts to see what is happening now because all are taking the bad rap for a few - you can easily equate this to when an AKA beats down another in the name of sisterhood but all of us get blamed, now is that right? HELL NO! So hopefully you get the point I am making now - stop stereotyping and stop blaming ALL because of the FEW!
As you all know I live in the city too, I know all the bad that is happening, it's starts at the Mayor's office and trickles down to the commissioner and then on the officers. The one at the top needs to be blamed, we all know that it is him that has caused these problems.
And PrettyoneNCD, yes I am very blessed to never have been a victim of such attacks but all I will say is I NEVER HAVE PUT MYSELF IN SUCH COMPROMISING POSITIONS - NEVER!
I know all about the command disciplines that officers can receive and believe me they hate it, so I think most are trying their best not to have a need to be disciplined. It's partially true what the mayor doesn't want you to know, you may never find out - that BLUE wall of silence is very thick but everything gets leaked out, the 911 phone system has been beat to hell and they have known for years that the system needs to be upgraded they just started doing something about it when the everyone found out about the black out times. I say all this to say I know a bunch about the NYPD and you shouldn't judge then until YOU have been there!
Lastly, I feel sorry about what happened to these women, but 5 million each is still ridiculous!
