Some great memories on here reading this stuff. I agree with most. But anyone who was on in the 50s,60s, 70s, experienced their own trials and tribulations of the politics of policing in NYC. I came on 82.....did 25 yrs. Its hard to explain to others but policing in NYC is a different animal . Politics and media prevail. DAs offices that clammer for a shot to nail a cop to the cross. A city that was always at its heart very liberal.
With creation of cell phones, cameras everywhere, and other technology cops in small towns have same problems as their acts are broadcast on CNN and You Tube. In past it was only NYPD , LAPD, that were national news. Now everyones a target.
Ben Ward, other then his saying Eleanor reminded him of his grandmother, LOL...wasnot so bad. I had inside info he saved more cops jobs from trial room then anyone. He was a big contract guy, too. When I made Detective, he must have been blasted, spoke about the importance of civilians in job, never said a word about us fools. LOL
Relative to the 25 pct SNEU team caper...nice woman. No experience. A lawyer too. Sorry but she made bad move in haste. CO MNFIAU was a legend of a rotten soul.....the DAs office should never have indicted them all. Was a horror. I was a Sgt in MN Narco at time. "We knew" how to work. Enough said.
