This is every police force in the country. I don't have high hopes.

Ukraine had to go through "lustrations" process after revolution of dignity to cleanse police that was subservient to regime and not the people: - fired everyone; - banned most of the leadership; - prioritized non-cops when rehiring; - thoroughly vetted past cops when if they were re-hired

See, e.g Prince Paul at “Men in Blue” (“The Police Department is like a crew. It does whatever it wants to do. The Police Department, we're like a crew. We do whatever we want to do!) youtu.be/s6-vIz7h8Wc?...

I don’t think you can admit that you don’t control your armed forces unless that admission is done with multiple people on stage in handcuffs next to you

They went after the daughter of the last guy who tried to reign them in. The NYPD is a rogue paramilitary outfit that doesn't recognize civilian control

You ask too many questions, bub.

I visited and worked in a dozen of very corrupt countries. I only had to pay bribes in NY, to the NYPD, repeatedly. Ask any film crew; they’ll have stories to share.

At least a governor.

All the way down, not just major metros

Reign in the NYPD?????

NYC cops are notorious for not enforcing the law when there's a Liberal Mayor in NYC.... Mostly nuisance crimes that piss people off... And then the NY Post runs headlines about how the city is becoming crime infested... And then tourists stop coming.. Mamdani has avoided that so far

a quick glance at the nypd’s history should give you the answer to this

I think we can do something about the police problem but I feel like there's gonna be a lot more senseless violence in the process (which will be on the cops)
