@rachel_mle: NYPD have an ounce of transparency challenge… failed…

Mr. Chad | Your New Uncle :

I should be shocked and yet...

Whatever007 :

Just going to put this out there, but ever since COVID (vaccinations) and the protests we had in Manhattan because most were getting unemployment and had too much time on their hands the hiring standards have dropped. The amount of college credits has been cut by 60% from 60 to 24... hiring age went up from 35 to 43. NYPD is struggling to hire enough people with lower requirements. Bad apples will fall through the cracks especially on the largest police force in US. The issue at hand is people start to associate good officers with domestic abusers, robbers and etc while it's a small percentage of officers. Sort of like the percentage of criminals to population is also low.

There are two sides to every story

Curleelocs :

First of all 😭😭 I live on the Island 😭😭😭

Erica 💗 :

the last study done said it's 40% and they never did a study again

ernesto.pub :

the bronx times is the only outlet that regularly covers these arrests

Elizabeth Amy Ubell :

Not surprised, but always appalled

Crystal Chaney :

eranden :

Bless you

PoodleToesRN 🆘🇺🇸 :

Yet if I was getting arrested as a nurse, I could lose my license to practice. Why is this allowed?!

user3999071958236 :

I’d wager its not just NYC

Chris(tine)-love after lockup :

It’s crazy how much they get away with

House of Ọnṣé :

thank you for amplifying and clarifying this issue. working at a civil rights law firm in my undergrad really opened my eyes to the scale of this issue. and the way news media systematically covers up for them is so ugly and so violent. it's part of why i stepped back from law as a career; i can't read the reports day in and out, it would give me a fckn stroke 😓 thank you for your service in speaking truth to power on this.

Steeelt0e :

What was the number, 60%?

TheoraJones :

Media don't report on police committing crimes because then the police refuse to let them know about or report on any other crimes. And local media depends a lot on crime stories for content. If you're not getting the call about the triple homicide but your competitors are, it's bad. This is mostly a failure of imagination by the news organizations, but they truly believe that if they're not buddy-buddy with cops, their news station will fail.

░m░a░t░t░e • Friend :

the system is working as intended

piccini9 :

cops

Don’t really care✌️ :

You can’t trust anyone man 😭

SaintThicckolas :

40%

What A Mistake That Was :

Newsflash….cops are people.

kellikater :

And media plays right along by making cop’s crimes sound less than they are as well.

Li Li :

Grateful I never dated a cop despite having a thing for uniforms

Amber Flannery Field - on yt :

when I was a kid I remember a commercial helpline for child domestic abuse, and even at a very young age I realized that you can't really call a cop on a cop

Seabass1289 :

where do you get your news??? you always have the darkest news
