Members of the NYPD must remain apolitical — it’s essential to public trust & officers’ ability to perform their jobs.

We are aware of a video showing one of our members wearing a politically oriented patch.

The officer has already received an initial discipline.

A further investigation is ongoing.

5. I hope they investigate hard

6. Initial discipline? WTF does that mean? Like a McCarthy talking to?

I sure hope NYPD gets their head out of their asses and do the right thing.

7. What about the counterfeit badge?

I hope that's part of the investigation. Looking into her associations, social media, and asking
Why is she wearing a badge that is not her current number? Why does she have one?
And what's with the 1/2 mask?!? Someone should tweet those questions to the NYPD.

8. Here is the deal with police.

The buck stops at the Mayors desk. The police brass report to the mayor. Pressure him for results.

10. The Mayor of NYC is Bill DeBlasio, right? So people should send those letters to City Hall. nt

[safeinOhio]

11. Yes.

That is how it works. He can fire the chief or cut his budget.

12. I think it's suitable for him to hear from concerned citizens from out of state, for many reasons...

NYC is a leader in so many areas— they should be a leader in clean law enforcement
NYC is a center of commerce, industry, finance, and tourism, and as such draws travellers from all over the US and the world — and when people go there they don’t want to have to fear that the City police will act like a gang of revolutionary thugs.

9. Token wrist slappy-slappy incoming. Oh, heavens!!!

Some of those that work forces...

13. all the more reason mea culpas on the big lie must be made

This could be a result of the big lawsuits against the enablers. They're guilty. And we all suffer because of their wanton and craven behavior to vilify democracy.

14. NYPD union endorsed Trump in the 2020 election

I don't expect anything to really be investigated.
