Pick one
1. Cops are selfless heroes.
2. Cops should get masks instead of civilians.

If this comment were truly worded as posted by the NY Post (and parroted everywhere else) in March, why wait until mid-May to report it?

Since when does DOH provide supplies to NYPD? Each agency has it's own budget to support it's own mission.

BTW, I'm stunned that DOH won't be doing contact tracing for COVID-19 because contact tracing is one of their areas of expertise. They trace contacts for HIV, TB, STDs and any other infectious disease outbreak. Now that responsibility is being given to what agency?

Some really bad management going on here.

NYC health head rejected NYPD mask plea: ‘I don’t give two rats’ asses about your cops’

New York City’s health commissioner blew off an urgent NYPD request for 500,000 surgical masks as the coronavirus crisis mounted — telling a high-ranking police official that “I don’t give two rats’ asses about your cops,” The Post has learned.

Dr. Oxiris Barbot made the heartless remark during a brief phone conversation in late March with NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan, sources familiar with the matter said Wednesday.

Monahan asked Barbot for 500,000 masks but she said she could only provide 50,000, the sources said.

“I don’t give two rats’ asses about your cops,” Barbot said, according to sources.

“I need them for others.”

The conversation took place as increasing numbers of cops were calling out sick with symptoms of COVID-19 but before the department suffered its first casualties from the deadly respiratory disease, sources said.

Although surgical masks don’t necessarily prevent wearers from being infected with the coronavirus, they can prevent people from spreading it to others.

The NYPD has recorded 5,490 cases of coronavirus among its 55,000 cops and civilian workers, with 41 deaths, according to figures released Wednesday evening.

In the wake of Barbot’s crass rebuff of Monahan, NYPD officials learned that the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene had a large stash of masks, ventilators and other equipment stored in a New Jersey warehouse, sources said.

The department appealed to City Hall, which arranged for the NYPD to get 250,000 surgical masks, sources said.

The federal Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency also learned about the situation, leading FEMA to supply the NYPD with Tyvek suits and disinfectant, sources said.

A source who was present during a tabletop exercise at the city Office of Emergency Management headquarters in Brooklyn in March recalled witnessing a “very tense moment” when Monahan complained to Mayor de Blasio in front of Barbot about the NYPD’s need for personal protective equipment, saying, “For weeks, we haven’t gotten an answer.”

De Blasio, who was seated between Monahan and Barbot, asked her, “Oxiris what is he talking about?” the source said.

NYC health commissioner conspicuously absent from de Blasio briefing
When Monahan said the gear was vital to keeping cops safe, de Blasio said, “You definitely need it,” and told Barbot, “Oxiris, you’re going to fix this right now,” the source said.

Last week, Barbot — who’s been a routine participant in de Blasio’s daily coronavirus briefings — was noticeably absent when Blasio announced that the city’s public hospital system would oversee a major testing and tracing program, even though the DOH has previously run similar programs.

Hizzoner also heaped praise on the head of NYC Health + Hospitals, Dr. Mitchell Katz, saying, “When you have an inspired operational leader, you know, pass the ball to them is my attitude.”

De Blasio named Barbot the city’s health commissioner in 2018 following the resignation of Dr. Mary Bassett, who took a job at Harvard University’s School of Public Health amid an investigation into the DOH’s failure to alert federal officials to elevated levels of lead in the blood of children living in city housing projects.

“During the height of COVID, while our hospitals were battling to keep patients alive, there was a heated exchange between the two where things were said out of frustration but no harm was wished on anyone,” Department of Health press secretary Patrick Gallahue said, noting that Barbot “apologized for her contribution to the exchange.”

The NYPD declined to comment.




We are being managed/ruled by morons -------half our leaders probably think the NYPD is like something out of a Bus Bunny cartoon from the 1940s ---beefy guys named Clancy or Murphy --- does this clown know the demographics of active NYPD officers --- let alone civilian employees or School Safety ?


"Your Cops" = "You People"




Of course no consequences for her -------yet.

^ Good point. If the progressive Leftist politicians knew that many of the NYPD are now made up of black and brown officers, they wouldn’t be so hateful of them.

They still have this image that your typical NYPD officer is a white guy.

Why would it make a difference? And it's some and not many.

From your own link, Only 47% of cops are white. That would mean 53% are not white.

That would mean a majority of the NYPD are minority


Where did you learn math?

Sure I know --- as much as can be gleaned from public records ----Why does it matter ? I feel its healthier for a society if all positions in a given society broadly reflect that societies makeup.

It is a simple human reaction to a rather huge problem."


Maybe for some of you humans….
