The members of the NYPD grew so disenchanted with their jobs in 2020 that over 5,300 uniformed officers either retired or quit, an astonishing 75% increase over the year before, amounting to 15% of the total number of officers on the force. The impetus for the officers quitting seemed to be the death of George Floyd and the unrest that followed; between May 25 and June 24, 2020, a whopping 272 officers left the force in one month.2,600 officers quit and 2,746 filed for retirement, according to the New York Post. The 5,346 officers who left the force were nearly 2,300 more than left the force in 2019,

Can't think of a better place to go lawless. Let New York be the guinea pigs to no police. They've earned it.

NYC, like many communist hives in USA, look to form if not force the present LEO into a personal police force, answerable to those seizing power, and not officers sworn to the Constitution. A strong arm of a crime syndicate. The same that illegals will face though they fled from it, as they seek "sanctuary" cities. The new boss, same as the old boss.

It will only get worse. No one with a sense of self-preservation will stay. As the number of officers declines, there will be mandatory OT, cancelled leave, and so on. Burnout will increase and mistakes will also increase. I'd bet a paycheck that most officers are looking for other jobs if they're more than a year from retirement. A pension does you no good if you're dead.

The only surprise is that the % is not 100.

This is what they wanted so I do not consider this a problem. Remember what you have always been told - be careful what you wish for.

Right on schedule with the fall of America. The Alphabets and the Times cover everything the police do to demoralize them. Who will replace the police? Democrat Gestapo storm troopers recruited from aTifa and bLM. Think when they enforce or shoot citizens it will be headlines on the networks and the slimes? The only good thing out of this is when the CV2 comes I will know who to shoot, the democrat nazis!

Why does a decent person who wants to help people and follow the law would want a crap job like being a cop in a blue city. The mayor and will not back you up but they will immediately blame you if you have to use deadly force on a (black) violent perp. The upside of this is that small towns can find some well trained LEOs willing to move to my small city in the South.

Constitutional Carry and allow everyone to carry anywhere they want. And privatize the police force.

I am trying to dredge up an ounce of sympathy, but it is very hard. I am sure there are many good LEO’s in NYC, but who knows who the good ones are? Are they the ones leaving? Or is it the smart ones who see what is coming and will go to other safer cities to infiltrate their forces with their agenda? I just do not trust many people from those deep blue cities. Please do not come to my community unless you are on board with our values. We have a good thing going here and we do not want it to get all messed up.

You get the government you deserve. And NYC deserves DeBlasio.
At one time I lived part-time in NYC. I wouldn’t get within 100 miles of it now.

#16, No sympathy needed. This is exactly what the Left wants... force the traditional racist police to quit and replace with a Federal police force. The plan is working perfectly. They want to completely and fundamentally change our justice system, and rid the nation of all the white conservative patriots. This is an extremely serious situation and they are not playing around. We Red-stater's will wake up one morning and realize the country has changed. New York is only the start but it will quickly spread out of control. Stay awake everyone.

Well, you know the old saying: When seconds count, police are only minutes away.
Now, it will be said that: When seconds count, psychologists and counselors are hours away (if you can find one willing to intervene in a gunfight!)

I watch the History Channel and Germany 1933 the Democrat Socialist Nazi Party convinced the population that a national police force (Orpa) made up entirely of partisan fascists, would make the streets safer. Instead they herded the political opposition into camps orbthry disappeared. They first had to get rid of their 2nd amendment but today pacification like blind compliance to lockdowns, social distancing and masks works just as well.

Isn't it the goal in the liberal cities to abolish the police completely and play mind games with criminals to defuse situations. It's what the left believes will work. This is the mind set of, 'the alligator will eat and be satisfied and leave the elite alone', wrong.
Lawless goons will rule the streets and any person who wanders out will be fair game. The knock out games will become blatant murder in the streets the liberal elites are wrong again. New York is doomed. Thank a liberal.

Pray for Police Officers in our country especially in the big cities, usually democrat. They have the second highest divorce rate of all professions. Not to mention other social problems, such as isolation from the community and other non helpful ways to cope with what they do to protect and serve. Police need your support, prayers and for their families especially. I know because that was my world. The stress is off the charts for police families.

Anyone who wants to defund police should never call 911 but it’s seems most calls are from those very people.
