The NYPD should have been broken up when they tried to kill Frank Serpico, or we could go back about a hundred years and they should have been broken up when the Tamany Hall corruption machine infiltrated the NYPD thoroughly.
I'm from NYC, I've got a lot of family in the NYPD and DoC, and the NYPD is more than a hundred years past due to be broken up. They should separate the department into county>borough>city>village>town departments, so they can all watch and investigate each other until acceptable levels of corruption have been achieved. (acceptable levels are usually a very low percentages of corruption, we'll never completely eliminate it, so the goal is to get it as low as we can.)
They got one of their own committed to a mental hospital because he was pushing back on their bullshit. They literally have a "friends and family" card you can show an officer and get out of a ticket. These are the people who claimed they have the authority to just randomly search people on the street for no reason.
What the fuck
ACAB
Can't wait for the SVU episode about this specific thing, "Ripped from the Headlines!" Mariska Hargitay playing up the "Not all cops..." angle and Iced T acting surprised at the depravity of the world. All wrapped up in less than 45 mins. Lol. Jk. Dick wolf would never betray the cops.
I love how stabler was the most realistic cop depicted on SVU, cause he had a massive attitude problem, loved to go leap to violence, and everyone just handwaved and covered it up and pretended it didnt happen with no repercussions.
Sounds about like real life.
Fucking pigs. The whole lot of them. Fucking hell.
What in the actual fuck....this is abhorrent.
There is no reforming a collective of abusers and evil people.
This isnt true.
You could reform them.
Into a fine paste, preferably.
Reform into a nice post-modernist sculpture.
This one almost surprised me.
Wait, I can deploy feminine charm to gain the trust of the police? Why did nobody tell me this? Where can I get this sheep's clothing? Is there an online shop?
WTF, NYPD?
ACAB and police keep on proving that phrase correct.
It is getting more difficult to enjoy Brooklyn 99.
