if your building had "footage"...and the NYPD actually cared about a non-violent theft, with "detectives" no less....wow....well we would assume you were living in a pretty "uptown" neighborhood.
where we lived, there were of course lots of "detectives", but they had a single purpose which was to arrest black people for drug possession. Other than murders, that was pretty much it.

We have so many generic hypotheticals with loose calls for policy. Let the folks who feel the brawn and brunt of crime and law enforcement speak solutions. This topic has lost relevance because it was diluted.
- zzzeek 4y agothere's a solution to the NYPD being awful? I wasn't aware ? dont say "give them more money" because that's certainly not it
- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> there's a solution to the NYPD being awful? I wasn't aware That's my point. I'm don't know what the solution is. But dismissing good cops the way you did certainly isn't one. > dont say "give them more money" because that's certainly not it Nobody did. In this entire thread. You made an incorrect assumption and are doubling down on it.
- zzzeek 4y ago"good cops" look the other way regarding all the "bad cops" around them so to the degree they are "good" while protecting corruption is not very compelling. The "good cops" that actually have a problem with things tend to not stay cops for long.
