The NYPD has a history of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct, which critics argue persists into the present day. So just a few posted citations and the NYPD automatically has a history of corruption? No counterpoint at all? Or at least something like " It is alleged that the NYPD has a corruption of corruption and brutality?" Kind of ruins the reputation of cops who have served the public with exemplary records. Why is it okay to paint all cops with one brush? If you do that with a race or religion, painting people with one brush it's reprehensible. 2600:4041:50ED:4900:E97F:53F5:6901:847C ( talk) 21:39, 22 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Not alleged. It does persist into the present day. If they wanna change that reputation, they better start changing everything from the ground up. We aren't really seeing changes. 151.56.82.51 ( talk) 02:20, 12 September 2023 (UTC) reply

I've removed that section. Its inclusion is not warranted at all. Clear NPOV. 194.80.168.100 ( talk) 12:23, 9 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Disagreeing with it doesn't make it non notable, the claim is properly cited. The section is notable and neutral. commemorative ( talk) 05:00, 11 November 2023 (UTC) reply

& paddies ? Not a word. What is that, woked as can be. (why do we not learn about the - traditional - over representance, one might say, of irish-american-cops in the Department. There were literally cop-generations of irish descent. Known fact. Even banal statements of that kind should be worth mentioning to give a half-way realistic picture. In a short overview. -- 2001:A61:5DD:D01:F1CB:DDCB:19EC:4D5 ( talk) 17:54, 20 January 2024 (UTC) reply
