NYPD Disbanding Iconic Undercover Anti-Crime Unit, The Most Productive Unit in NYPD History

41

The New York Police Department says it is disbanding its plainclothes anti-crime unit. The unit consists of 600 officers.

Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch warns that shutting down the unit while crime is on the rise will force city leaders to deal with the consequences.

All this cutting, reforming, disbanding by law enforcement empowers criminals. No one is demanding change from the rapists, murderers, burglars, wife beaters etc. Nuts.

NYPD Disbanding Iconic Undercover Anti-Crime Unit

New York – The NYPD’s undercover detectives unit, the stuff of many movies and novels, became the first victim of the George Floyd protests.

Commissioner Dermot Shea announced on Monday that the unit will be disbanded after being involved in a “disproportionate” number of shootings. Its 600 officers will instead be distributed at precincts across the city and reassigned to other posts.

“When you look at the number of anti-crime officers that operate within New York City, and you look at a disproportionate, quite frankly, percentage of complaints and shootings — and they are doing exactly what was asked of them,” Shea said.

Shea described the move as historic in the agency’s attempt to remake itself into a community organization rather than strictly law enforcement. He said that the termination of the unit “will be felt immediately throughout the five district attorney’s offices, it will be felt immediately in the communities that we protect. I would consider this in the realm of closing on one of the last chapters on stop, question and frisk.”

African Americans demand that we re-order and re-structure our culture and society, including law and policing, crime and punishment, to suit them in their more primitive, savage, tribal ways.
That’s the end of our great country, to all of our lasting regret.

“disproportionate number of shootings”. Well ? Who could have thought this possible? After all if you mix it with the underworld there is always bound to be a faecal splatter somewhere. Another lunatic leftist action and it seems there are more every day. I don’t hold that muslims are mentally ill but these leftist politicians all need treatment.

Well…… a liberal is just someone who hasn’t been mugged yet. Guess all those libs thought they were missing out on life and wish to enjoy the full extent of experiences they haven’t had yet. They have been sheltered way to long from the consequences of their errant beliefs.

Republican lawmakers on the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis sent letters on June 15 to the governors of five states that mandated that nursing homes take in COVID-19 patients despite federal pandemic guidance to the contrary.
The letters, signed by five Republicans on the CCP virus committee, were sent to the governors of New York, Michigan, California, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The letter demands records on the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths at nursing homes, executive pandemic orders and directives on nursing homes, and other relevant documents and communications.

I think that they are all in for a shock….hamstrung police, big business flooding out along with the middle class and mobile working class.. Soon even the elite will flee the sewer streets and then who will pay the bills? Watch for the democrat mayors all begging for federal handouts. I would not give them a cent.

“Shea described the move as historic in the agency’s attempt to remake itself into a community organization” Really. I just want to know if the NYPD will use all those officers from that unit to patrol NY to start handing out coffee and donuts. Maybe even a copy of the NYT. They could sure give “Mr. Softee” a run for his money if they started giving out frozen yogurt and ice cream as well. Maybe they could issue apology statements with each ice cream to all citizens for all the ‘wrongs’ they committed during the time the undercover unit was in operation. Yes, what a much better way to spend resources. The resulting increase in crime will be handled by the DeBlasto propaganda unit, funded in part by the former undercover unit. The rest of it, funded by over priced, half-melted ice cream sandwiches. And, money taken from children who didn’t have enough to buy said ice cream sandwiches.

WE REPUBLICANS HAVE LOST THE LEFT I MEAN WEST COAST AND SHOULD ACT ACCORDINGLY!
WE SHOULD DEMAND THAT ON CONDITION OF RECEIVING ANY FEDERAL AID THAT THE STATES OF OR, WA AND CA SPLIT THEIR ELECTORS BASED ON VOTER PERCENTAGE FOR THE LEADING CANDIDATES!

A message from the White House

President Trump signs order on safe policing

Moments after he met with families who have lost loved ones to violence—many involving deadly interactions with the police—President Trump took historic action today to deliver safety and security for Americans of every race and background.

“We are one nation—we grieve together, and we heal together,” he said.

Today’s executive order pursues common-sense reforms to public safety while rejecting fringe, anti-police demands. “I strongly oppose the radical and dangerous effort to defund, dismantle, and dissolve our police departments–especially now when we’ve achieved the lowest recorded crime rates in recent history,” the President said.

???? President Trump: Restoring, renewing, and rebuilding our communities

“Many of the same politicians now presenting themselves as the solution are the same ones who have failed for decades on schools, jobs, justice, and crime. They’re all often, unfortunately, the same politicians running the cities and states where help is most needed.”

Americans both support the brave men and women in blue and believe we must improve accountability, increase transparency, and invest more in law enforcement training. President Trump’s actions today recognize and build on these goals:

Certification: The Justice Department will now allocate certain funding only to law enforcement agencies that meet high standards for use-of-force and de-escalation, as credentialed by reputable independent bodies. As part of this new credentialing, chokeholds will be banned except if an officer’s life is at risk.

Information sharing: The Attorney General will create a database for federal, state, and local law enforcement to track terminations, criminal convictions, and civil judgments against law enforcement officers for excessive use-of-force.

Mental health: To protect both officers and our most vulnerable populations, the Administration will prioritize training for police and social workers who respond to incidents involving the mentally ill, addicted, and homeless.

Legislative action: The Administration will develop and propose new legislation to Congress to build on these policies and boost community engagement.
Reducing crime and raising police standards are not opposing goals, President Trump said. Today’s executive order protects decent, law-abiding officers while holding those who abuse their badge accountable for their actions.

???? President Trump: We will reduce crime AND raise standards!

Safer communities mean safer work for our law enforcement officers, too. Last year alone, 89 officers were killed in the line of duty. In recent days, two members of law enforcement were killed amid riots and looting. Hundreds more were injured.

“The vast majority of police officers are selfless and courageous public servants,” President Trump said. “When others run away from danger, police run straight into harm’s way, often putting their lives at stake to protect someone who they don’t know or never even met.”

Violent crime in America is falling under President Trump, and we have brave law enforcement officers to thank for it. In 2018, police arrested nearly 12,000 people for murder and manslaughter, about 25,000 for rape, and nearly 1.5 million for assault.

In many cases, local law enforcement is underfunded, understaffed, and under-supported. The last thing our country needs to do is to make the jobs of good, decent police officers more difficult. The far-left’s radical agenda proposes doing just that.

President Trump’s executive order today brings law enforcement and their communities closer together. Calls to defund policing will only drive them further apart.

Francesco Vincent Serpico (born April 14, 1936)[citation needed] is a former New York City Police Department (NYPD) Detective. He is known for whistleblowing on police corruption in the late 1960s and early 1970s, an act that prompted Mayor John V. Lindsay to appoint the landmark Knapp Commission to investigate the NYPD.[2] Much of Serpico’s fame came after the release of the 1973 film Serpico; it was based on the book of the same name by Peter Maas and starred Al Pacino in the title role, for which Pacino received an Oscar nomination.

Wow Canada has joined the “ME TO BLM/ANTIFA HYSTERIA”. Canada Prime Minister Trudeau has even declared “Canada is full of systemic racism”. Anyone who disagrees is fired, ostracized, or doxed.for being racist – no disagreement allowed. Soon Canada will change laws to maek Robbery a Financial transaction and Rape be come a simple social event – and watch the crime statistics drop as the PM declares that former criminal activity is declared to be “Non-Crime”. Canada wont even need Police then.
