NYPD RANT 1998 to THEE RANT 7/13/2017 16,575 posts and who's counting? As a Housing rookie, I remember having to voucher something at the 9th. the DO was a neighbor in Queens and a good guy BB. He showed me the plaques of all that The Fighting Ninth had lost over the years. I was standing in front of Police Royalty for the first time. It was sobering. I made it a point when reassigned from 5 to 4 to get into the David Sector, which covered the 9th. That's where the action was and that was where I wanted to be. I got it. Loved it and never felt safer that when working in the 9th in Housing. May these men who braved together in Vietnam and survived, only to be shot down by black cowards who had no reason being free to walk the streets of America, never be forgotten. Ripped from life by savages, these two men deserved better fates. There is a book by the prosecutor who after convictions moved to LA and became famous. It was a story that needed telling. Sometimes LERANT makes me sad. I was assigned to FTU2 in late 88 and saw those pictures on the wall of the 9th. For better or worse, I went to the 25 after FTU. The confines of the 25 has seen it's share of LODD, but it was always from outside commands and never a member of the 25 (the last being PO Randolf Holder of the 23) After I went to Nassau, Foster's widow lived on my post in Roosevelt. Suffice it to say, one of Foster's sons had a problem. Broke my heart to go to her(their) house and deal with it.
