AlphaSig, I respect the men and women who gave their lives during 9/11. But the people I'm talking about are teh ones in the higher ups.
Russ, I'm not killing and robbing people so in that respect I've made people's lives safer.
Now back to my post.
Board, take it from a NEW YORKER! I've seen this force at it worse. There is good in this police force but.... there is bad, REAL BAD. The problem is the higher ups don't give a rats arse so they're going to turn the other way.
I've seen NY finest take bribes, shoot unarmed men, heck you got them sodomizing people in the bathroom of their own police departments.
Heck the Central Park 5. Five teenagers who were forced to admit to raping a women when the evidence didn't point to them and they had to spend 10 years of their lives behind bars. Thanks to the Recent DA on that one. NYPD didn't help in that matter. We're talking about the powers that be, not the beat cops. There is a difference. That is where teh corruption that I talk about.
Russ, does Louima and Diallo ring a bell to you? Trust these weren't the only two men who were mistreated by the NYPD, this police department is just as bad as the LAPD. Both are VERY CORRUPT. Take it from a NEW YORKER (Coney Island/Brooklyn) I know of what I speak.
Now notice I didn't slam anybody or disrespect anybody on this board. Now if you would like to dispute it, then have at it people.
BTW, my older cousin is a cop. I know of what I speak (if you didn't catch it the first time)

OK . . . so you have a couple concrete examples, then a sea of emotional arguments, a horrific non sequitur to begin, and
non causa argumentation - not quite the lesson you'd planned, but I think there's still some good points here to be addressed by others.
However - it seems the corruption is implied to be above the beat cops, but does that mean it extends to the top? Where's the proof of that? (also, you haven't posted any real 'proof' of corruption past anecdotal evidence, but I digress)
Also - even if the NYPD is completely corrupt, how on earth does this affect his service to the dept of Homeland Security? I mean this, too - I'm not being flippant.
