But we agree that any cops who abuse their authority, use excessive force, or don’t follow the law themselves should be fired ?

You’re debating how replacing the nypd would work instead of whether it’s necessary because you can’t find a good argument for why the nypd deserves their station in a city they refuse to protect or be accountable to. The work slowdown has spread to your brain.

I feel like that might have been sincere, so thank you?

Assuming you are a cop, and assuming you don’t personally go around abusing your power, I have a tip for you. People don’t trust you. Because even if you’re not going out using excessive force or helping cronies stay out of trouble, you know other cops who do. And you are either unable to stop them, in which case you’re really not much value in your job, or you’re unwilling, in which case you’re morally unfit for your job. And now you’re arguing online making procedural excuses for why we can’t have accountability. You’re cool with the way things are in your organization, which makes you complicit in the culture of corruption. A few bad apples have already spoiled the whole bunch.

You’d be welcome in magic land if you ever wanted to envision a world where cops are accountable to the people who pay their salaries and whom they’re supposed to protect.

Sounds like you probably work in a corrupt system and prefer it that way.

How do we get rid of the culture of corruption?

Hire them just like before, but starting over without a culture that’s already been corrupted, and creating accountability to the public.

Do you have a relationship with law enforcement? And do you feel that top brass should be fixing legitimate arrests for their cronies as they did in this case?

You’re confused. I said we should fire the current nypd force, not let them continue their ~10 year announced work slowdown wherein they just decide when they want to enforce the law and when they don’t, usually capriciously based on how they feel.

I think that was confusion over ranked choice voting, combined with the name recognition he got from having so many scandals during the race.

I’m not saying it’s likely or even plausible. I’m saying it’s what should happen.

The fact that it’s implausible just shows how necessary it is.

The nypd do not serve the public and cannot the trusted. There are no good cops in a system like this, they all need to be fired and replaced with an organization accountable to the people

New York has been dying since before anyone living was born.
