NYPD's disconnect from reality

Recently some in the NYPD have done some illegal and immoral things and yet they now want to blame/intimidate/point fingers at everyone BUT themselves. Take the ticket fixing story that broke yesterday. Thousands of police showed up to intimidate prosecutors (and perhaps even NYC's top cop the untrustworthy Ray Kelly) and knock cameras away from those covering the story for news sites. Yes, the supportive ham and eggers showed up and blocked cameras from filming their crooked colleagues, shoved reporters and made it difficult for other professionals to do their job. How classy. One spokesman for the police actually said in addressing the media outside that fixing tickets for friends and family of those who support the NYPD is not a crime. Um, Skippy, YES, it is.

Now we know abut the screeching and hurt feelings from the NYPD when faced with an imaginary threat from people using their guaranteed constitutional freedoms at #OWS. They complain when they are shown to pepper spraying innocent women standing where they were told. They don't like it when people use cameras to hold them to their oaths apparently.

On top of this, a group calling itself "Sergeants Benevolent Association" has prewarned or prethreatened any #OWS protestors THEY will be sued by the NYPD if say a cop slips and falls while spraying pepper spray at innocent citizens. They'll sue protestors if they hit their head on a squad car door making an arrest, they'll sue protestors if they in any way make it difficult on the police. Talk about arrogance.

Then theres the rogue secret Muslim/Leftist police squad (that answers to nobody) the NYPD employs that has most likely illegally unleashed, without worry to people's civil right or constitutional rights, local "spying rings". Wholly immoral.

So, NYPD before you cry butthurt and wail and beat your breasts over this horrid injustice of police being held accountable for their actions in uniform look in the mirror. What your brethren are in trouble for is what you bust skulls (or threaten to) on the rest of us for the other 364 days a year.

Grow up.
