[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a lot of friends that are NYC cops so I can't speak to this area but O agree with the PP. The culture of the police force and how we view them has changed. They will not put their life or pension at risk in so-so situations. They know if something goes south no one has their back.

They also can no longer use certain types of holds that keep them safe. So I ask you, if it were your life or pension, would you continue to put yourself at risk? Quitting isn't an option. You are within 5 years of your pension too.

So that black guy that just stole something? Nope, not arresting him. Too risky for too little reward. Group of black people causing store damage and only one cop? Nope, not touching that with a 10 foot pole. Literally my friend will avoid arrests and high risk situations for petty crime. It isn't worth the personal risk. So it's skyrocketing.[/quote]

This is 100% spot on.  We brought this upon ourselves and drowned out the few brave voices that tried to warn us three summers ago.  [/quote]
