If they fire him the job will come to a screeching halt because it will be the incident that opens the eyes of every MOS of every rank to the current bullshyte that is goinfg on in the job. If they fire him we need to storm the castle!....(puzzle palace)
You are kidding, right?
The day the verdict comes down, whether it be from the criminal trial or the kangaroo court, there will be cops asking their bosses two things: (1) how many summonses/collars do you want, and, (2) how's it look for me going to (fill in your favorite detail or non-patrol assignment here i.e. Anti-Crime, etc).
Many will, no doubt, see the light. But there are MANY MORE, new on the job, who will look at what happen and say (A) that happened in the Bronx, and I work in (another borough) (B) Well, she only had a baseball bat; and/or (C) that can't happen to me.
Unfortunately, too many here on this Board are still looking at the 21st Century NYPD through the eyes of what we would call "real cops" from the 60s to the early 90s. There's a reason why the PD BENDS OVER BACKWARDS to hire candidates who have "English as a Second Language," and who sought citizenship a year before they came on the job, and probably only because they sought the job: they know these people cannot believe that they have the salary they have (albeit an artificially low salary) and benefits for just showing up. They don't want guys like Sgt. Barry anymore; they want people who just "carry the water" of the politician who hired them, even indirectly. And they got it.
Sgt. Barry will take a MAJOR HIT on this case, for no other reason than the perp was a black female, and Barry is a white, Irish, cop.
Just the way the Socialists want it: a demoralized police force, unwilling to effect arrests, enforce laws, or carry out their usually assigned enforcement duties (except the profitable summonses).
And if they do, it'll be Murder 2
It's clear that deBlasio, despite his questionable background, will be re-elected HANDILY. But what Jimmy the Weasel hasn't accepted yet is the fact that he's just a "useful idiot" for deBlasio and his Socialists co-conspirators. The next PC will be one of their own, much like how the Democrat National Committee put a radical Leftist Muslim as the unelected VP in office, with a blithering idiot Hispanic president running interference for the Muslim, while the Muslim works his "back-channels" on the local level.
These are bad times. But they will be exceptionally bad in the NY-Metropolitan area, for sure.
