We had heard rumblings of this, but is it on paper finally?
- SCC I am sure by now you have been made aware of the new push By Mcjoke to make tact officers appear less like the police and more like the NYPD Anticrime unit, but I just wanted to let you know what a joke and officer safety nightmare we are headed for.
I am not a hair gel tact guy and yes I am lucky to have a spot, so by no means am I complaining just giving my humble opinion. Last week we were told no outside vest covers and to remove everything from our belts let alone having a duty rig period. We were told to cover our vests with another garment in attempt to look less like the police.
Now this is all fine and dandy, but do these fucks running this dept into the ground really think that the bangers don't know that the 2 or 3 white guys jumping out of a god damn unmarked squad car aren't the police!
NYPD has the resources, vehicles etc.. to make that unit operate under the radar and not look like the police, we are lucky to have a functioning pdt let alone a covert vehicle.
I'll end my rant and let all the tact haters comment now, but the other issue is officer safety. What happens during the first foot pursuit when a copper shoots at, or god forbid hits another copper mistakenly took for a bad guy when he is running with his weapon drawn? Does the Sup know we just gave every banger the tool to say I didn't know they were the police after we are battered or shot at?
Just wanted to keep you apprised of the usual incompetency of our dept SCC.
