Ahhh... As if a breath of fresh air came through the window, the Feds have taken some direct hand in NYPD training!
...then I read more, coughed a bit, a realized that wasn't fresh air. A bus burped some exhaust and it smelled better than normal. (cough cough)
The federal monitor overseeing reforms to the NYPD wants the current class of Police Academy recruits to be taught groundbreaking new concepts like: Don’t be racist, don’t mock others, don’t tell sexist jokes and don’t hassle people for no reason.
Well hot damn on a donkey! That'll solve the problems which vex police today! Absolutely! Had they simply been told not to mock people sooner, lives would have been saved! Freedom for some wouldn't have been taken! Dogs and cats would be playi.....Okay, lets not get silly, right?
Well, I know I'll sleep better at night, knowing the next crop of cops are aware that 'imitating the speech pattern of others' might be somewhat offensive!
Whew...imagine..the nation could have devolved into a police state but for this brilliant intervention!
