[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recruiting is significantly down in every city.  Reasons:
1) declining public respect for an support for cops. Blacks in particular get a lot of crap from relatives and friends for joining the force and since the force has historically drawn from working class families, that’s a problem. [/quote]

Disrespect for police is largely party specific. Many people think they know the law better than the officer they brought into their life. They don’t. They complain. They threaten to sue.

Black people have much weightier issues to contend with than a relative becoming a police officer. I think a majority of Black people would prefer more Black officers.

[quote=Anonymous]2) most young people don’t want a job where they need to show up in person at 7 am [/quote]

Well done parents, you’ve raised real winners. Soft, soft, soft.

[quote=Anonymous]3) it seems increasingly dangerous given our total lack of gun control and the fact that criminals are armed with paramilitary weapons, plus the mental health issues that cops are supposed to deal with (which do very often result in assaults on officers) [/quote]

Line of duty deaths are down 44% vs. last year. Tragically one NYPD officer lost his life this year.

[quote=Anonymous]4) risk of prosecution if you make a mistake (see those cops in dc prosecuted for chasing a guy who got hit by a car) [/quote]

This is a clear and present danger to officers, especially in liberal jurisdictions quick to persecute officers, like NYC with an anti-cop mayor.

[quote=Anonymous] 5) the pension used to be the huge drawn but young people today don’t think about pensions or understand the value or trust they wil be there [/quote]

I’m in my late forties. I’m operating under the assumption there will be no Social Security for me. A pension would be glorious. If parents aren’t educating their young adults about the value of all retirement vehicles they’re doing them a disservice.

[quote=Anonymous]6) lots of young people can’t pass the background checks and don’t want to commit to never smoking pot and having to take drug tests[/quote]

Departments have already lowered the threshold for past marijuana use. If your young adult can’t pass a background check, or drug test, you have failed as a parent.[/quote]

Many people can’t afford to start a 401k even if they know they need one. their take home pay is barely enough to pay for rent , food, and credit card bills/debt.  They have to choose between health insurance or a 401k.

The entire system is awful and that’s why Mamdani won. [/quote]

What can Mamdani possibly do to make a difference here? The system dwarfs Mamdani. When he can’t deliver “tax the rich,” socialized grocery stores and other conceptual reaches he’ll need to take funds away from the NYPD to appease his delusional constituents.[/quote]

He’s not in charge of taxing in the first place. He’s in charge of budgeting, hiring, administration as the mayor. Maybe instead of cronyism and corrupt politicking, he will hire people that are good for it when it comes to helping the public. Improving city services has nothing to do with increasing taxes which is not something he can do. The city doesn’t levy taxes. The state does.
