This proves what i say about police. A person who becomes a police person is literally mental. You have to be stark raving mad to be in the. To want to destroy and murder peoples lifes for no reason what so ever.

Police = psychos of society.

what if every single one of us joined the force.

what the hell would they do then?

Star and Flag this everyone.

A friend of mine was arrested in Florida. Did absolutely nothing. 100% clean record. He was put in handcuffs for six hours, charged with "resist w/o violence."

Something needs to change and it needs to happen fast. America is becoming a police state.

I know there are some cops on here who have denied this before, and I would really like to hear their input.

It's funny, the cops on this forum are usually all over stories like this but, it looks like they don't want to touch this one with a ten foot pole.


Could this be proof that there really IS something to this story and that this is happening all over the country?

Well as many know I am a LEO and will say this. I cannot speak for the NYPD as I do not work there and don't know whats all going on within that department.

If it IS going on in the NYPD, then the NYPD needs to address it. 9 years as a LEO I have never been ordered to meet a quota. I worked in PA and now in GA and no department that I worked near ever MADE their officers go out do what these guys are saying had to be done.

Now lets keep some rational thought to this as well. When they are being told to meet quota's are they being asked to "make up stuff" or are they being told to NOT use officer discretion and arrest even for the most minor offenses. Reason is, obviously "making up" charges to meet stats is something I find sickning and the command staff of any department forcing their guys to do that SHOULD face criminal charges. If they are saying DON'T cut anyone a break, arrest or cite for anything and everything, then (even know its stupid), it is 100% legal, since the laws are on the books.

I think that is what needs to be determined. If they are writing tickets for j-walking and other BS charges, they are still within the parameters of the law and it just sucks for the citizens. If they are walking up to guys and citing for disorderly conduct because the guy was sitting on some steps and someone had to step over him or something, then this is a MAJOR issue.

You may not like it, hell I don't like it, but again whats really going on up there is the argument. Reading the article it sounds like the command staff of the NYPD are a bunch of Aholes who probably have less street experiance then most officers, are good at taking tests, and think their way is the only way....I promise you this, the day I am ORDERED to meet a 35&1 quota, is the day I walk away from that department.

I hope if they are out "making up" charges the officers and people go to the mayor and have that command staff removed.....its NYC for goodness sakes, a good officer can go find someone committing a crime without looking to hard I would think....just my opinion...lol

The quota has been around for quite a few years, aat least since ive had my drivers liscense, 17 in 1992. Around where i live, in southwest CT, he cops are pretty cool actually, but upstate CT, they have a reputaion for being like florida cops, racist and discriminatory. A friend at work, from bangledesh told me back around 2005, a greenwich CT cop puller her friend over...he is muslim and also from bangladesh. They asked him to get out of the car...as far as i was told, his car was registered, legal paper work, liscense, insurance ect...and they beat him becuase he got a little feisty in wanting to know why he was pulled over and asked to step out of the car. He ended up with some bad nightstick bruises on his arm.
I asked her "why didny he sue, go to mayor, senator report this" her answer, he was afraid they would rememebr him real good if reported, and he did in fact, email and call CT senator and governor....NO response emails or phone calls. They dont care, in fact thier prob in on it too. Too busy electing who gets the biggest raises and tax breaks than being concerned over a vicitim of the city and state police.
I kinda think, we do have quotas around here yearly, but its usualy in summer time, when they set up DUI checkpoints...last year a street off route 1 i use to go to work, was set up late afternoon time. The thing is...the officers were NOT dressed up as officers...their were 2 guys with vietnam style boots on, black shirts, and black co op like pants on, kinda like military pants but without the camoflauge. and they had shades on...sungalsses. I suppose to hide their identy.
A guy at work who knows cops, told me a cop thats been hanging around our parking lot( i know his name) told him a story of how slightly uncommon it is, police plant crack, cocaine on people to make an arrest. and no one cares...becasue now your in the system,....it takes lots of money and one damn good lawyer, which prob wont save you. as far as the law is concerned, iff yuor found with drugs, but it isnt yuors, yuor screwed....that seems to be the consensus of local cops.
