One is an unfortunate hazard, and the other is a disgusting reaction to an overblown issue.
Kind of like 6 men jumping someone over selling loose cigarettes on a street corner.

Lets face it, the less people you (as a cop) pull over, the safer your job is in the long run.

You can't be expected to be paid and treated like professionals while you behave like a bunch of 2-bit longshoreman union thugs from the 1930's. NYPD Cops want it both ways.
If this is true it's a pretty immature reaction, not very professional and it accomplishes nothing.

I'm listening to the radio now on this issue and every caller so far fully supports the police in this slowdown.

Citizens have been calling for less harassment by the police for years, of course they support it. In part it is also why the voted for DiBlasio.

What exactly do the police unions want. I saw Lynch after the meeting and it doesn't sound positive, he indicated that there were a number of safety issues that were not addressed whatever that means.
