272 NYPD Officers File For Retirement After Black Lives Matter Protests
Source: Noam Galai / Getty It’s beginning to look like the whole “To Protects and Serve” motto of police departments across America is more of a self-serving phrase for their egos than a proverb meant to reassure Americans of their tax-paying responsibilities. A few weeks after 170 Atlanta police officers called in sick in response to their brothers in blue being charged in the death of Rayshard Brooks, The New York Post is reporting that members of the NYPD have staged a similar “protest” in response to the anti-police brutality demonstrations that have taken place in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. According to the report a whopping 272 uniformed police officers in New York City have filed for retirement from May 25th through June 24th compared to the 183 officers who filed their...
We Knew It: NYPD Made Up The Whole Shake Shack “Poisoning” Story, Allegedly

Soon after sipping the shakes, however, the cops realize...

NYPD Detective Is Actually Fired For Bogus Drug Arrests
Source: Douglas Sacha / Getty The NYPD has a bit of explaining to do. One of their veterans has been caught fabricating very important details that have landed people in prison. As spotted on The Daily News one New York City officer has been formally terminated from their position and based on the evidence it was long overdue. On Tuesday, April 21 Detective Joseph Franco was fired for allegedly framing defendants. According to the Manhattan District Attorney’s office he was indicted in 2019 for “entering false testimony during court proceedings and making false statements in court documents on multiple occasions while he was assigned to Narcotics Borough Manhattan South, resulting in three unlawful arrests.” Between February 21, 2017 and May 3, 2018, Franco is said to have entered fal...
