      XPost: alt.law.enforcement, nyc.general       From: truecatholicstaff@truecarpentry.org              You would be surprised how bad some of those cops are. No,       they don't deserve respect but to be put in a real Jail. Besides,       they defend the communism issued by the congress and the state.       These people throwing water, are just trying to make them wake up       before dday.              On 7/23/2019 6:05 PM, Ubiquitous scribbled:       > The 19-second video shows a man pick up the bucket and hurl it at the cop,       > prompting several bystanders to exclaim, “Oh!” as it bounces off his head.       >       > NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan posted a still image of the       > ricocheting bucket on his Twitter account, where he called the video       > “reprehensible.”       >       > “NYC’s cops& communities have made remarkable progress — together — but       > EVERY New Yorker MUST show respect for our cops. They deserve nothing less,”       > he wrote.       >       > It’s unclear when the Harlem incident occurred, but sources said the other       > one took place sometime after 4 p.m. in near 1400 East New York Ave. – little       > more than two blocks away from the 73rd Precinct station house in       > Brownsville.       >       > The 33-second video shows two cops in sopping-wet uniforms walking away as       > water flies through the air toward their backs.       >       > At one point, a young man runs up behind one cop and dumps a bucket of water       > over his head.       >       > One of the cops recently graduated from the Police Academy and the other has       > about a year on the job, sources said.       >       > Neither notified the NYPD about the incident before the video surfaced on       > social media, sources said.       >       > A police source blamed the incidents on the NYPD’s “hands-off approach to       > these guys” under Mayor Bill de Blasio.       >       > “Who does that in their right frame of mind?
