So I don't blame you for the way you feel

This was BC (before Covid) by the way

Don't downgrade me in front my kid, F them all

So I get where Airborne is coming from. I stereotype em all.

All they want to do is sit on their asses for 20 years and get a pension.

I wouldn’t classify myself as a liberal but NYPD cops have been a clown lot since after 9/11 (not everyone obviously). The guys who died obviously got literally ****ed but everyone after them took advantage of it and acted as if they became super heroes and untouchable.

Even though many more FDNY and EMTs died on 9/11, you never got the sense that the ones who were left started to thoroughly abuse the goodwill of the city like the NYPD.

I’m not sure exactly why it played out that way. Maybe because the NYPD is much more public facing and all of the goodwill right after 9/11 got too many people’s heads. The NYPD unions didn’t help either with the usual blowhards at the top.

I'm sorry, but I dont understand your post. A bit incoherent.

They were doing their job. Can’t blame them. As with almost everything, it’s the politicians and by extension the electorate to blame.

Not sure why you were surprised that they clowned on you. Who goes up to NYPD cops and says *thank you for your service*? Even they don’t believe they’re doing anybody a service. They probably thought you were clowning on them. Not sure where you live but if it’s in a minority heavy neighborhood there is a 0% chance they didn’t think you were clowning on them.
