Looks like by the end of the year NYC cops will have shot and killed more unarmed citizens than bad guys!

Too many unknowables to critic.

^^^¡agreed

Det Hamdy ( the officer in question) has had two lawsuits against him for abuse totaling in payments of close to 500K that the city had to pay.

This is according to NBC 4 news cast.

Hey, if the city already had to pay hundreds of thousands because of him, might as well get their moneys worth...

Really? He cost his employer 500K and he still has a job? Wow, talk about job security.

But hey, he/they admitted no fault, of course they only paid out of the goodness of their hearts!

There are unknown unknowns at work here.

 

Too many unknowns here!

 

Most trained observers can spot an UNMARKED unit from a mile away. Even the unitiated can do so "up-close"...........Why screw-around playing dodge-cars with TWO of them??

 

There's more to this than was released so far!

There is absolutely no information in that story to form an opinion. I find it very hard to believe that he was shot without making any movements at all. I will wait and see

Exactly. I deal with that crap all the time. 90% of complaints we get are bs, which means people lie or conviently leave out information 90% of the time when they did something they shouldn't have.

So...The Media and reporters are completely Incompetant, and little better than Drooling Imbeciles on EVERY SINGLE SUBJECT...unless it's a story that is critical of Police..THEN of course that same Intrepid Reporter (Who is a total nincompoop on EVERY other subject) is suddenly imbued with the writ of God himself.

Sorry. I forgot cops never tell a lie!

If the overwhelming percentage of violent crime wasn't perpetrated by minorities in NYC (especially in areas like Harlem), there would be no need for stop and frisk programs.

 

Besides, if it came to choosing sides between the cops patrolling the streets and some puke like "nycresistance" who posted the video, I'll go with the NYPD.

 

This angry twerp needs to wake up to the fact that it is precisely someone like HIM, a young minority male, who is likely to be a victim of a violent crime in NYC. Every time a young black or Hispanic catches a bullet from some thug, the first thing that their family and candle/shrine-assembling pals do is blame the cops for not doing their jobs, followed closely by a gnashing of the teeth over "lax gun laws".

 

I was no angel as a teenager and had my fair share of run-ins with the local bulls in my neighborhood. I challenged their authority, disregarded their warnings and was treated accordingly. I didn't cry about it, nor would I have ever dreamed about going public or telling my parents (besides, my old man would have dished out far worse than Bayonne PD Sgt. Slivocka ever could have).

 

If this guy wants to stroll around the 'hood acting and looking suspiciously, he needs to be prepared for the consequences.

So because something bad might happen to a minority it is okay for police to harass, threaten, arrest, and provoke any minority they please? I'm sure glad I'm not a minority. Racism and profiling is still alive and well I see. Thanks Scott.

Don't be naive. If it were racism or illegal the ACLU would have already been granted an injunction to have it stopped. Again, the numbers don't lie: if the overwhelming amount of crime is being committed in minority neighborhoods by young black and hispanic men, guess who the cops are going to focus on? Especially if they are exhibiting suspicious behavior.

 

If I were one of the many honest citizens in those areas I wouldn't be happy about being stopped, either. But I would certainly be realistic enough to know why it is being done.

 

I've got friends who are/were on the job in NYC who have told me that a lot of folks in the high-crime areas want nothing to do with them until something happens, which is when they second-guess and criticize the NYPD to death. It has to be a thankless and frustrating job for the cops working in these areas; no doubt as frustrating as it is for the law-abiding people that live there and have to be statistically lumped-in with the bad guys.

I think they are suing to have stop and frisked removed http://ccrjustice.org/floyd. It should be, no one should be subject to unreasonable searches and seizures. Highlights of a study on the 2011 data from stop and frisk:

 

*More than 685,000 people were stopped by the NYPD in 2011, up from 97,000 stops in 2002 when Bloomberg took office…more than a 600 percent increase.

*87 percent of those stopped were Black or Hispanic, while 9 percent were White.

* More young Black men were stopped by the NYPD in 2011 than there are young Black men in NYC.

*Only 1.9 percent of those frisked in 2011 were in possession of a weapon.

I find it repugnant that someone would even try to defend this stop and frisk policy, what next a knock and search policy? Can't say I would cooperate, I would ask if I was being arrested or if they had a warrant and if the answer was no; have a nice evening gentlemen!

Keep it on topic, or off to Politics this goes.
