The NYPD announced on Wednesday that 179 officers filed for retirement between 29 June and 6 July, a 411 per cent increase on the 35 who retired in the same time period in 2019.

Additionally, 503 NYPD officers filed for retirement between 25 May - the day George Floyd was killed while in police custody in Minneapolis - and 3 July, representing a 75 per cent increase on the 287 officers who retired in the same period last year.

One officer told the Post that they have had so many applications that the pension office has had to limit the number of appointments to around 40 a day.

"Apparently, the pension section is only taking a certain amount of people per day and I think they are backed up till late July, early August," one officer said. "That's why you don't see like 100 a day, because they are only doing like 35 to 40 a day, by appointment."

The department is not turning down applications from people retiring in the next 30 days, but has told other officers to wait another month before applying, due to the increased demand.

"They feel abandoned by the silent majority and they are leaving. They don't feel appreciated."

Good! Let the new SWAT (social workers and therapists) handle the dangerous calls!

Man, just because they can't shoot black people willy nilly any longer? Damn.

I totally get and even compassionately agree with your point. I care about the innocent blood as much as the next patriot.

What I've slowly realized is what the Dems have been conducting since late May has been war, and any good tacticician realizes that war brings casualties. NYC has always been a dangerous compressed island to reside on (especially when it comes to heavy storms, major infrastructure damage, petty thug violence and even terrorist attacks) and the strong and smart will flee that godforsaken island the first opportunity.

So if the Libs think barefoot, gluten-free suburbanites with non-STEM, SJW "degrees" can handle a volatile domestic violence call, let them experience it.

It sort of reminds me of the movie Safehouse starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds. Ryan's character - Matt - was a young, bright CIA agent who was so eager to get field experience instead of safely guarding his safehouse he was assigned to. By the end of the film, after dodging professional assassins and dirty CIA agents while attempting to apprehend Denzel's character - Tobin - he was so shocked and disgusted with the CIA and the hell he went through to try and arrest Tobin and surrender him back to the U.S. that he leaked the file Tobin was safeguarding from the CIA.

That's the experience the new SWAT needs to get.

Why?
I just had to ask
IF they put their time in and under their contract they should get what they earned right away
I am sure IF you were a cop in a city like NY or Chicago you earned that retirement and all the benefits the city agreed to
and IF it was YOU you would be up in arms too
Have a nice evening

"Hey boss! People are saying mean things about me, so I quit! Actually, I retire! I demand a generous severance package!"

On what planet should anyone deserve to have such a childish demand fulfilled?

More likely that they wish to move themselves and their family members to some place with adequate police protection (and a lower cost of living).

LOL so hardworking cops who've put their lives on the line for 20-30 years to save the lives of ungrateful Dem Libs, don't even deserve their pension.

Typical rhetoric.

Well, it isn't a demand if it is by a union contract with their employer (in this case the city).

Don't blame the cops if they are getting out now to retain the benefits they already earned. It is the city screwing this pooch, not the employees.

Where are these jobs where employees who get their fee-fees hurt can bail out with a golden parachute? Sounds like the CEO of a failing bank! :D

I agree with how he worded it. Where are the Back the Blue police supporters in New York City OR ANYWHERE. In OUR small county, there was a little BLM protest at a park. Maybe 25 people. Stayed out of the road and broke no laws. About 100 held a pro police rally at another park.

Why about your city? Has even ONE person who claims to support the police done anything publicly? Have you?

The officer is correct - the silence of the "silent majority" is deafening and likely stunning to the NYPD officers.

Nor is it just hundreds filing for retirement. The odds of police showing for any violent nature situation? Maybe some officer will be available to answer the call - maybe tomorrow.

Police in every Democratic run city should do the most powerful weapon a union has. Not a strike. Not to quit. But a work stoppage - without declaring one. There are 1,001 excuses why it can take a long time for police to arrive. And getting them to do anything is all but impossible when they do. Appraise a dangerous situation from a safe distance in their car. Call for backup. Wait for backup. Wait for more backup. Call for a negotiator. Call for social services. Ask for advise of how to proceed... drag it out forever - just find some other police work to do - safe and trivial - and be tied up by it.

Someone calls because of a broken window. That takes at least 3 to 4 hours to investigate, doesn't it? Going to a burglary call - with no burglar present - could take two officers a good 2 to 3 hours. Maybe all the thousands of false burglar alarms aren't false. Better really, really, really check out each - as long as not burglary appears to have happened. Maybe the burglar was scared off. Better patrol that block for 2 hours.

Exactly not one gathers was held in support of the police. So if no one wants police services - give them what the want - by demanding it or being silent about opposing this. Let NYC become fully lawless - and make sure every criminal, druggie, thief, drug dealer and gang banger knows it.

When I was a union steward my shift only played the work stoppage card twice. The first time it cost a supervisor his job. The next time management gave in immediately. It is almost impossible to prove a non-declared just-can't-get-anything-done somehow work stoppage.

I told you those barefoot, gluten free therapists with associate degrees in Social Justice Warriorship will be responding to the next thug who goes on a shooting spree like the thug a couple days ago! Minneapolis is already on it's way to looking like Detroit. Keep it up!

You Libs have habitually lied and deflected on this forum and in the media about this insanity. Countless times I've heard and seen Libs attempt to argue the semantics of "abolish" and "defund". Now that your hotep "woke" grandma has blurted out the truth of your marxist plan there's no wiggling out of this. No amount of garbage whining, emotional rhetoric, lame sarcasm, or ad hominems will help you, now.



LOL I like how this trash saved a small talking point at the end about safety, just so she could try not to make herself look like a complete looney anarchist, but the damage is done.



LOL more cow dung red herrings. I live in a Dem Lib state and recently I've attempted to give a homeless black man a pastry from Einstein Bagels and you know what he told me? "Oh thanks but I already ate. I just wanted to know if you could lend me a couple dollars."

What bum turns down food? Only one in a privileged white Lib suburbanite fruitcake bubble city where they praise and coddle you for being a bum.

If you're a respectable black man with your life together and a clean record the spoiled white Lib suburbanites (the ones who scream Black Lies Matter for a day or two with other poor blacks in the metro area then return home 40 miles away in their safe, overpriced homes that's patrolled by bored suburban police when they're on a swinger cruise for two weeks) are passive aggressive towards you and even sometimes racist.

Another classic from brother Larry Elder. Damn shame that nearly 75% of homicides in Chiraq go unsolved per year and 70% of the homicides are black on black. Half of the approximately 15,000 homicides last year were black. Facts that Dem Libs love to avoid to keep their garbage fake crusade alive.

These statistics happened under the noses of Dem Libs. With black mayors, black city councils, and black police chiefs. With white Lib mayors, white Lib city councils, and white Lib police chiefs.

LOL "You acting white when you really black!" Typical thug rhetoric. Black thugs stupidly think a noble black in a position of authority is suppose to favor them when it comes to crime!

Now someone explain this to me.....why are you gonna tell a guy not to walk up on you as YOU advance towards him??:lamo

All the while you're giving him potential COVID droplets! And by his words she hit him, first! She was rightfully charged with assault as he only hit her in self-defense! And she harassed and threatened the airline staff who offered her a reimbursement of her flight she failed to catch on time!

The flight was back to Chiraq, of course!

My God look the sight of that mugshot! Demonic! :lamo

We are talking about police who hold public employee contracts negotiated by their unions, and then agreed upon/sanctioned by city government officials... who are BTW likely to be liberal progressives who made those deals in the first place--- for votes/power.

You know what I find laughable about this situation, is that suddenly overnight I figure a large number of cops, prison guards, and other associated public employees which formerly voted for these Dimocrats who are now calling to defend and/or eliminate their jobs. That MANY of these cops and their families will all be voting for Republicans going forward.

Just watch and see.

Trump is going to win, and win because the dimocrats went too far bowing to the radical left in their party. You guys are blowing it.

OH so IF you put in more then enough time to retire and worked in a city like NY and may have been shot at you don't think they deserve to get what the contract the city entered into
IF it is in their contact in cities like NY those people deserve every bit of what the get

Police work is not very physically dangerous, no matter how much the far-right insists otherwise. Emotional health, however, is a real problem for officers.

really????
I must assume that YOU have been a police officer
I never was but I do know a lot of people ( personally and some that were as close as brothers ) that have been police officers in not only small towns but large cities ( one in a town that has only 1800 people in it , he was my neighbor and he has been shot at several times )
I have a friend that I was in the service with and another one that was a Capt. in the NYC police dept and I know some of the things they faced and I wouldn't want to do it and I don't think YOU would either

Again, I do not doubt the emotional strain on police officers. But the annual death rate for officers is around 1 in 10,000, and most of those are from traffic accidents, slips, or falls.

Once you factor those out, police work is not much more physically dangerous than a desk job.
