Reply to comment by d0ggyd0g in NYPD Blows Overtime Budget by Nearly $100 Million, On Pace for Record | The New York City Police Department’s budget overage defies a pledge by Mayor Eric Adams to cut overtime spending by half in his first year in office. by bloomberg

If they’re sick of it, maybe they should tell their union to fuck off and stop trying to resist attempts to reform the department into something more agreeable and less shooty-minority-y

Minority is a majority in the NYPD. Good try though.

They have no clue what they’re talking about and just regurgitating talking points they saw on Reddit. Typical.

Says the guy regurgitating fascist talking points. The only reason you’re upvoted is because subs like this are filled with conservative brigaders

Please show me proof that minority police officers lower the rates of police misconduct.

Let me check off getting called a fascist on my daily Reddit bingo card. I’ve been in this sub over a decade bro, not everyone who disagrees with you is a brigader. They’re upvotes, don’t take them so seriously it’s bizarre.

And? Just because you’re a minority police officer doesn’t mean you can’t be implicit in systemic abuse. One of the cops at Floyd’s arrest was black and wanted to reform the department when he first joined like a year before.

Not a single cop reform person has EVER argued for an increase in workplace QoL for law enforcement and that union is the only thing stopping the city from going nuts with labor law violations

And the PBA has never ACTUALLY advocated for more cops as a way to fix the situation. Once again, this situation would easily be solvable if the police was actually willing to come to the table on the issue of accountability.

It absolutely has in fact that was the main argument used for the last arbitration hearings

Combined with the fact that nypd pays way less than all the neighboring departments.
