Its ironic that the police slow-down is essentially providing relief from the Broken Windows policy that so many citizens (and even many police) found problematic. From the article: Ive met more than a few police in the last few years whove complained vigorously about things like the empty the pad policies in some precincts, where officers were/are told by superiors to fill predetermined summons quotas every month. It would be amazing if this NYPD protest somehow brought parties on all sides to a place where we could all agree that policing should just go back to a policy of officers arresting people when they have to. Because its wrong to put law enforcement in the position of having to make up for budget shortfalls with parking tickets, and its even more wrong to ask its officers to soak already cash-strapped residents of hot spot neighborhoods with mountains of summonses as part of a some stats-based crime-reduction strategy. rollingstone/politics/news/the-nypds-work-stoppage-is-surreal-20141231?page=2
