Mayor Eric Adams insisted Monday he’s not worried about police officers leaving the NYPD in droves this year — declaring that being a Big Apple cop is an “amazing career,” and that the departures present a chance to “diversify” the force.
Hizzoner’s comments come after The Post exclusively reported Saturday that over 1,500 officers have either resigned or retired in 2022 – a rate that represents the largest exodus of officers since the statistics have been available.
About 520 cops have resigned, and more than 1,000 have retired as of May 31, according to NYPD pension data previously obtained by The Post. The 1,596 total departures from the police department represents a 38% spike compared to the same period in 2021, when 1,159 cops called it a career, and a 46% increase from 2020, when 1,092 left the force by the same point.
Asked Monday morning by “Good Day New York” host Rosanna Scotto if those figures “concern” him, Adams replied, “No, it does not.”
“[The] New York City Police Department is an amazing career. I know it first-hand, and we are going to find young men and women who are going to want to be a member of the New York City Finest,” the retired NYPD captain and former transit cop continued on Fox 5.
(Adams was the head of the original Black officer's union back in the day. The brass hated him with a passion as he was always demanding affirmative action promotions. Now he is going to fill the department with people who can't pass the written or physical test. So, you are going to have 90-pound chinese broads becoming cops. A couple of years ago a tiny Korean cop was walking down the stair well of a housing project. He was so scared he had his gun out and his finger on the trigger. When a mook opened the door, he shot him. He went to jail. Cops should be six-foot-tall Irish kids from Long Island. Or maybe some blacks or Spanish who can keep the peace in their neighborhood. Not the riff raff that they are going to hire. They will bring in the dregs of society to fill their quotas. Some drug addicts. Some trans-sexual. Perverts. Every piece of shit under the sun will be represented to honor diversity.
Good luck with that pal. What could go wrong?)

This all started when Willie said he'd put 100,000 more cops on the streets. The bean counters came in and now those "cops" are a lot of small towns' private armies.
Similar situation with the Chief of Police in Minneapolis. Sued and Sued again and eventually was made COP. Was in charge during the Saint George riots and threw his cops under the bus.
