When I was part of New York’s Finest, we were over 40,000 strong. Rudy Giuliani was the mayor. We were proud and the mayor backed us up. Michael Bloomberg comes in and still keeps New York safe! Then came “The Dope from Park Slope” Bill de Blasio. De Blasio ended Stop and Frisk and told his biracial son to beware of cops despite 24 hour police protection! And; crime went up. Then George Floyd passed away and ascended into heaven! And the cops were now the enemy! More restrictions, less money for the Finest, and politicians throwing cops under the bus. Enter Captain Eric Adams. Adams becomes mayor of Gotham and the ranks get smaller and smaller. And crime goes up? The mayor says its time to hire more cops. That’s fine but they don’t want the job! And who could blame them!? Lousy pay, no support from the brass, constant criticism from the politicians, activists, and media and District Attorney’s office that turns them loose!
People that are thinking about taking the job need to know that they will be backed up by the bosses. They have community support and the politicians. Mayor Adams is making the rounds in Mexico, Israel and the Hamptons!
