NYPD engaged in effective work slowdown; results are awesome

[Torie]

If it is really, really good, then there are way, way too many cops, or other unaddressed areas where they should be deployed. Meanwhile what the cops are doing is execrable, totally execrable. It is not their place to set policy through failing to report for duty, or malingering at taxpayer expense while on duty, but to enforce the law, within the law, with the highest professional standards, carrying out policies set by others, not them. Period. If they dislike what's coming down, protest on their own time, within, yes again, the law.
