New NYPD Recruitment Ad

[20score]

Would you like to be able to do anything, and never be held to account?

Can you take any situation and make it about you?

Are you willing to protest at a funeral and yet take other citizens right to protest, with no sense of irony?

Does any legitimate criticism send you into a pouting fit?

Do you believe respect and submission mean the same thing?


Then you have what it takes to become one of the NYPD!

1. NYDP?

might want to edit

[cwydro]

2. Gotta love that one cop

facing forward.

[BubbaFett]

4. is he carrying milk too?

[cwydro]

6. Whatever.

Welcome to DU and enjoy your stay.

[BubbaFett]

7. Just curious

what makes some cops lovable and other cops not so lovable.

I guess it depends on the provocation, time, place, or whatever.

Cops are reactionary as fuck, they're naturally going to go against a democratic mayor.

My point being: never side with cops in the first place.

Nice bigotry against newbies on your part, though. Shit like that makes DU suck.

[cwydro]

9. That cop showed courage.

Something we keep calling for around here.

You had to make a sarcastic comment.

Your reply and choice of words makes me doubt your "newbiness."

[BubbaFett]

10. but it still doesn't explain your bigotry against me

I thought reading the TOS before I signed up was a good thing.

[cwydro]

12. Alright then.

I apologize for my bigotry. If I have misjudged you, then that puts me in the wrong.

I still think your remark was sarcastic. We have to support the good cops.

I will say again (with feeling) - Welcome to DU.

[joeybee12]

29. Look up bigotry and then look up snark...nt

[cwydro]

34. Thank you joey. nt

[Cali_Democrat]

11. I would like to welcome you to DU

What you said was spot on...

[QuestionableC]

15. NYPD has some 40,000 officers

Half are minorities. Many, many are progressive democrats.

Your brush is so broad that you come across as simple minded and ignorant.

[PumpkinAle]

16. If that is the case then they need to stand up

and stop the perversion of the NYPD by the others.

[QuestionableC]

17. Many do every day.

[PumpkinAle]

18. Please provide examples

[Rex]

25. Wow, got awful quiet all the sudden.

I guess 30 minutes on google resulted in a big fat ZERO.

[cwydro]

27. There is an example in the pic.

Good lord.

[PumpkinAle]

33. Good lord indeed......... one cop (and yes that officer is brave)

and when someone posts "NYPD has some 40,000 officers, Half are minorities. Many, many are progressive democrats." What is the point of their post - I want to know why these supposed half of the force are not standing up and saying enough is enough.

The one cop is an example of what an officer should be............... where are the rest?

[BubbaFett]

19. good for you

when you talk about me personally rather than ideas, you come across as simple minded and ignorant.

[JaneyVee]

20. Many are progressive Democrats?

I would love to see where you got those stats from.

[QuestionableC]

22. Simple math.

The NYPD is far too large and diverse for that statement, that there are many progressive democrats amongst it's ranks, to NOT be true.

[Live and Learn]

23. Not according to Serpico. nt

[QuestionableC]

24. According to reality.

Put ~35,000 people together, half minorities, and you're going to have many democrats amongst them.

[Live and Learn]

28. The few that admit to it or stand up for what is right

are routinely harassed. That is the experience of those that have done the right thing.

[arthritisR_US]

39. "Many" is not a stat. nt

[arthritisR_US]

38. I would like to see them too, actual stats not

generalizations.

[TheKentuckian]

44. What percentage does "many" equal here?

[QuestionableC]

45. More than some but fewer than all

[TheKentuckian]

46. All is 100%, what percentage is some? Is many a majority?

[20score]

5. Wish there were more like him.

[BubbaFett]

3. So I guess the first responder "every cop is a hero" fetish is over?

After 9-11, the NYPD and NYFD were like living saints walking among we mere mortals.

[Jamastiene]

36. They are not all good or all bad.

We should still support the good ones, but yes, we should say all we can and do all we can about the bad ones too. I, too, hated the aftermath of 9-11, but I've never had a problem with fire departments being considered heroes though. I've only ever heard of one fire department not doing their job. I can't remember all of the information, but it was posted here on DU a few years ago. That one fire department just let someone's house burn. I can't remember much more about it, but it was the only time I have ever heard anything about a fire department that was negative. I don't get the fire department negativity, honestly. I wouldn't lump the majority of firemen in with the cops who are violent and support other violent cops, as far as the brutality or any of that stuff goes.

[Ino]

8. So true (nt)

[blkmusclmachine]

13. Emotional and educational requirements: who are we kidding?!?!

[calimary]

14. Here's another one - "Are you Petty As HELL???"

If the answer's yes, then YOU'VE got what it takes to join the NYPD.

New York PETTY (or also - PISS-ANT) Department.

[whereisjustice]

21. Police are no better than Westboro Baptist Church protesting soldiers funerals - and this is why

we MUST stop militarizing the police. They have too much power, they are inciting violence.

[The Wizard]

26. Like all Pox News viewers

professional victims.

[Generic Brad]

30. Become one of New York's Whinest

[mountain grammy]

31. Anyone who admires Frank Serpico need not apply.

[99th_Monkey]

32. They forgot about getting PAID VACATIONS for brutalizing citizens nt

[Enthusiast]

35. This thread deserves hundreds of recommendations!

Does any legitimate criticism send you into a pouting fit?

If it does, just STFU. You're employees. Just STFU and do your job.
