The Challenge: The Submit’s report that 16 officers saved their jobs after NYPD judges discovered them responsible of crimes.
I used to be dismayed that you just determined to place “officers discovered responsible of crimes maintain jobs” as a Submit particular report, splashed everywhere in the entrance web page (“Blue protect,” Nov. 25).
I'm pro-police and to provide your readers the impression that cops are corrupt offers pointless ammunition to the defund-the-police lunatics.
Academics who're incompetent are rewarded by being positioned within the “rubber room” till instances are resolved. There isn't a finish to the corruption and incompetence that's being rewarded by permitting folks to maintain their jobs.

Kudos to The Submit for uncovering this distressing report. One can solely guess what number of extra incidents dedicated by law-enforcement personnel stay beneath wraps.
I help the police and really feel that, particularly right this moment, they've a thankless job. Nonetheless, think about the variety of occasions these perpetrators could have investigated and even arrested folks for crimes they themselves have been discovered responsible of.
It’s a tragic commentary on the principle line of protection society has to keep away from full anarchy.

Whereas I’m not condoning the conduct, this text said that the NYPD makes up 52% of metropolis staff arrested in comparison with 14% FDNY and 12% Corrections workers.
You failed to say that the NYPD has 55,000 uniformed and non-uniformed members, in comparison with about 17,000 within the FDNY and seven,500 in Corrections. That ought to have been said.

I've no downside by any means with permitting cops who break the legislation to stay on the job.
The Submit routinely stories on violent criminals who've racked up 20 or 30 prior convictions however someway stay free to slash and rape once more. Police stay on their job regardless of their unhealthy acts? Inform somebody who cares.

The Challenge: Criticism of Mayor Adams for neglecting NYCHA residents whereas serving to migrants within the metropolis.
I share New York Metropolis Housing Authority President Daniel Barber’s disgust with Mayor Adams’ choice to help migrants from Texas whereas ignoring NYCHA residents (“What about fixing NYCHA!” Nov. 24).
The disparity of taxpayer dollars being allotted to the migrants and NYCHA tenants is incorrect — however I've no downside with my tax dollars being directed to assist each teams.
The 2 folks answerable for growing the struggling of NYCHA tenants and the migrants are former Mayor Invoice de Blasio and Mayor Adams.
De Blasio ignored the fundamental wants of NYCHA tenants throughout his total tenure as mayor.
In the meantime, tax dollars go to pay longtime Adams pal Lisa White, surprisingly employed for the lofty place of deputy commissioner of worker relations on the NYPD.

The issue of funds being diverted isn’t unique to New York: It’s in virtually each main metropolis, and it's heartbreaking when low-income residents, particularly African-Individuals, are pushed to the facet or ignored for unlawful immigrants.
What's being skilled is the brand new drive by metropolis, state and federal businesses to marginalize low-income residents to make room for others.
It’s like the sport of musical chairs, as chairs are eliminated to the purpose the place there aren’t sufficient for the members.
There isn’t sufficient cash on the native degree to help everybody in want, so any person will probably be omitted. Primarily based on this text, it seems that African Individuals are the chosen group.
