Lack of Respect for New York City Police Is Palpable and Demoralizing to All Cops

Worse, notes this op-ed by a retired law enforcement professional, it’s ‘an inspiration to cop haters all over America’

Once again, NYPD officers have been under attack.

Last summer, we saw the now-infamous “water-dousing” incidents in which thugs hurled water and other items and substances at police officers who were attempting to perform their regular duties as law enforcement representatives.

Now, there’s a new ugliness.

It happened this past Halloween night, in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn.

Someone recorded video of a New York City police patrol vehicle — onto which miscreants had tossed several large boxes of trash.

Two officers in the video can be seen removing the debris from their car — while bystanders are heard laughing and taunting the cops.

One officer says to the bystanders, “Lots of people call 911 in this neighborhood. This is holding us up.”

At least one male on the other side of the camera couldn’t care less about his neighbors. He can be heard saying, “This is what happens in the ‘hood. Police get trashed.”

Then another person taunts, “Trick or treat, motherf******.”

The lack of respect for the NYPD is palpable and demoralizing to cops all over America.

Worse, it’s an inspiration to cop haters all over America.

And that disrespect — actually, a vicious hatred — became even worse the next evening in downtown Brooklyn.

Protesters gathered at around 7 p.m. near the Barclay’s Center. Some demonstrators carried signs reading, “’F*** the police’ and ‘Don’t let these pigs touch us.’”

Someone also scribbled “clever” phrases on a bus such as, “F*** NYPD’ and ‘NYPD KKK.”
