[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On LinkedIn, ICE has a hiring ad directed to NYPD officers. [/quote]

Florida is targeting NYPD cops.  What will happen is the best cops will leave NYC, only those close to pensions or those with lower qualifications will stay.

You’d have to really hate yourself to apply as an NYPD cop given how the city keeps getting worse. [/quote]

Actual New Yorker here. NYC is a very pricey place to live. That’s the issue. Not the mayor. Mamdani seeks to address affordability which a lot of cops want. He made some ill informed blanket statement in the past about cops, but thankfully is smart enough to grow and show he can change. His initiative to relieve cops of many mental health calls is appreciated by cops. He also showed up at that slain cops memorial service (the one shot by the football player with CTE). You don’t think hundreds of NYPD weren’t there and moved by it? You underestimate them.

Btw the force is extremely diverse now. A lot of people on this chain seem to be focused on old fashioned tropes [/quote]
Yeah they think Archie Bunker is the archetype of the NyPD.

Most NyPD are the same age and same color as Mamdani. Many grew up or had the same suspicions of cops or anti cop attitudes themselves and then guess what? They realized they needed a city  job and cop would help them feed their families and afford a decent living then they realized  they actually can’t afford a decent living because they need graveyard shift after graveyard shift and tons of overtime to make decent pay. They realized pensions and older retired cops don’t donate anymore now that the force is diversified. There’s lots of layers here to NY cops that most people in this thread have no idea about.

Most of the older boomer Ny cops moved to Westchester or Nj post-2002. [/quote]
