Do FHP and Miami too please
As Long as you DON‘T go to McDonald’s
Female officer never pulled her gun and probably never arrested anyone either ..
Please do Washington D.C's police!!
That narcotics cop that started in the seventies, said he worked in the seven five right? Wasn't that the most corrupt precinct, especially narcotics? Starting in the 70s through the 80s?
The Glocks had bad trigger pull’s because NYC wanted it that way. They normally don’t.
I’m 60, retire from a Michigan department, working armed security at a hospital ER. I still have the crease in my sleeves, spit shined boot and the old school mustache 😅
If I was a new yorker I would complain that the NYPD was spending a quarter billion a year on misconduct lawsuits because some of them were abusive and for a long time it was a blind eye to it. I dont like how one sided this video turned at the end, as if there isnt plenty of high profile abusive incidents worth discussing that would make someone not like NY cops.
75th these guy was very dirty. Corruption, Brutality, Incompetent
All the death is Government CIA related
This is the education with i want, amazing video!
17:20 the murder of geo floyd? You mean a drugged out multiple felon who died of drug-induced heart attack.
Great video, I'm surprised no one mentioned the hammerless stainless-steel 38's. I entered the Academy in July 1987, and we were the first class to have the stainless steel 38's issued. When we went to our NSU, we were made fun of for not having hammers on our 38's. I was happy to get rid of it when the 9mm's was authorized in 93.
I bet the first 2 cops from the the 70's till the 90's have a lot of stories to tell what a time to be a cop in NY
Thank u if ever see this
We need FDNY version
14:11 He even knows how ridiculous NYC gun laws have gotten… it's such a shame that NY attracts people with the worst political opinions
This is such a great video concept, I hope you do more in this series.
Great little documentary. Really interesting
The steering wheel gets chewed up from friction of the duty belt rubbing against it when getting in and out of the car.
9/11 was a day that the world stop.
Thank you NYPD
Love this series!! Can you do Houston, TX PD or Austin, TX PD please?
This is awesome, super fascinating
So, George Costanzas' question was answered ,they did do a study on sirens.
Rudy hated the blue cars
Love to see a series on this. London police LAPD.
Really cool
Do MPDC next!
Do one for MTA Bus Operators and Train Operators.
We need to see this for FDNY
The job doesn’t love you though.
People don’t understand in 1990 there was approximately 2600 murders in NYC. It was way crazier in NYC compared to today, it’s much much safer.
“When you had the sirens on, did people get out of the way for you? “
“Never” 2:44 😂😂
So how is the protection racket these days? What's the going rate you have to pay your local flatfoot so he'll show up after you had your store robbed? Is is keeping up with inflation?
In hindsight George Floyd died of a Fentynal overdose.
How much of America did we lose over this lie?
Excellent presentation. I really enjoyed hearing it straight from cop's who had been there. Please consider doing shows on other prominent PD's around the country. If you wanted to do a show on Chicago Police I wouldn't mind a bit. Or LAPD. Thanks.
All this time and the revelation of what happened in the Floyd death, and you're still calling a drug overdose "murder"?
Diff cars, same racism
