It also suggests the stunningly thin skin the NYPD has. In their view, their actions are above reproach. Any effort to prevent them from using unnecessary force or stem the killing of suspects is met with fierce defensiveness. The mock-outrage, the publicity stunts and backs being turned, do a disservice to cops around the country who want to do a good job and serve their community with honor. Pretending that cops, regardless of circumstance, should be placed on an alter and any scrutiny is “anti-cop” is pathetic and demeaning. Cops deserve better, Bill de Blasio deserves better, and New Yorkers especially deserve better.
