no they joined ice for the 100k salary and sign on bonus. they had no background check to pass. they took the money because they could get paid 35% more than your average cop. if a city wants more cops, they need to pay them and take care of them.tempo_n_groove said:
Nice putting all the cops in one bunch.gimmesometruth27 said:

He has a deficit, not a surplus so far they found. There is reserves but he's trying not to tap into those just yet.
He is not hiring 3000 or so more cops but will keep it where it is. NYC is having a hard time finding recruitments. Thats fair considering not too long ago the whole country went anti cop.
He wants to increase the property tax which isn't the best idea. The lower incomes already burden that already. NYC has some whacky tax laws regarding rental properties.
This may also be a bad idea because the added costs will go directly to the renter and bypass the owners. Even rent protected properties.
He wants to tax the rich. I know Cuomo did this already. Not sure what else they can do on this but they are working on it. Hocul doesn't want to do it.
Lets see if those free bus and rental freezes come to fruition.
He's trying. Lets see what he and his admin can do.
nobody wants to be a cop because the make shit money and risk their lives. but they do get to gang up and beat people's asses whenever they want though, so some people might find that worthwhile.
he should tax the rich and call their bluff. if they are mad enough they will move.
You say they risk their lives one sentence then they like beating people in another...
You think they became Ice agents so they could be harassed even more?
Also he can't tax the rich without Holculs blessing.
but yes, i do not like cops because they kill people for no reason. they purposely escalate situations, and they shoot first and ask questions later. they have hair triggers. i have friends that are cops and i refuse to go to the bar with them because they are always wanting to fight. you have to have a certain personality to be a cop. the good ones go make more money elsewhere. same job, same risks, but if you are of that personality type, why not join ice for the money, the immunity, and the carte blanche?
We used to joke that a cop had to have been on the HS baseball team. For some crazy reason a lot of them are... Not sure why. Weird oddity.
Now I can only speak about NY because this is where I reside. Cops make really good money here. Not like the Mayberry cops. We do have the highest paid cops in the country here in NY. Nassau and Suffolk being two of the highest. NYC pays 100,000 after five years.
If all cops had hair triggers then we would have endless bodies but we don't. I will defend good cops but will surely bury the bad ones.0 -
NY vs NYC is not comparable. NYC cops work some of the worst neighborhood for less than half of that.tempo_n_groove said:

You forgot building affordable housing on city owned property.A Police Parking Lot in East Harlem Will Become Affordable Housing
The project is the latest example of a push by New York City to build homes on land it owns. The building will be 100 percent affordable, officials say.
For many years, police officers in East Harlem would park their squad cars in a large lot just outside the 25th Precinct building. Now, officials view that arrangement as a clear example of how not to use New York City land.
Instead, officials hosted a groundbreaking on Wednesday for a new, 20-story affordable housing building, known as Timbale Terrace, that will be built on the 23,000-square-foot lot on East 118th Street. It will include nearly 100 apartments for formerly homeless New Yorkers and more than 240 additional affordable units.
The building will also have a new garage for the Police Department and a space for the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance, which is changing its name to Belongó, in a nod to the community’s cultural roots.
Every home in the building will be affordable, including more than 61 one-bedroom apartments that rent for around $900, and 44 two-bedroom apartments that rent for about $2,550.
The $255 million project represents the kind of transformation that Mayor Zohran Mamdani wants to encourage as he seeks to address New York City’s housing crisis. In one of his first acts in office, the mayor directed agencies to, by July, find public places — parking lots, office buildings, libraries, hospital campuses — where at least 25,000 homes can be built over the next 10 years.
At a news conference on Wednesday, Mr. Mamdani said the city would announce “more initiatives like this one” over the coming weeks and months.
“We’re not just paving the way for new units,” he said. “We’re paving the way for a city where housing is plentiful and affordable.”
Hundreds of thousands of New York City residents struggle to afford their homes as the cost of housing continues to grow. The average monthly rent on a new Manhattan lease, for example, was about $5,711 in January, the highest such figure on record, according to the brokerage Douglas Elliman.
But finding places to build affordable housing can be extraordinarily difficult. Land, particularly in desirable neighborhoods, is expensive, and advocating new development can be politically perilous.
That is why publicly owned sites present a particular allure. The city already owns the land, so it can control the type of housing built there. The land itself is essentially free, making it easier to support more affordable apartments.
Mr. Mamdani is just the latest New York City leader to target publicly owned sites. In 2024, Mayor Eric Adams issued an executive order “requiring city agencies to review their city-owned and -controlled land for potential housing development sites.” Other former mayors, including Bill de Blasio and Michael R. Bloomberg, included similar strategies in their housing plans.
Over the past 20 years, between 7 percent and 10 percent of housing production has been on publicly owned sites, said Michael Sandler, the associate commissioner for neighborhood strategies at the city’s Department of Housing Preservation & Development. There are hundreds of similar sites that could be developed, he said.
But there can be challenges to building on those sites, too.
It might be difficult to relocate whatever was already on the land. At the East Harlem site, the city has temporarily moved the police vehicles to other lots in the neighborhood until the new garage is built.
The city still has a long pipeline of projects that have been approved but are awaiting funding. Just because the city has the land and the will to build doesn’t mean construction can start right away, Mr. Sandler said.
The idea for the East Harlem project took shape more than a decade ago. Residents and local politicians wanted to revitalize the neighborhood, leading to a rezoning in 2017 of 96 blocks to encourage more housing and commercial investment.
The East 118th Street development was approved by the City Council in 2024. It is expected to open to new residents in 2028.
Some neighbors are not happy.
Eva Chan, 49, helped create a group called the Harlem East Block Association, which had urged politicians to reject the development.
Ms. Chan, who lived nearby between 2017 and 2024 and still owns a three-unit rental building across from the development, said New York City consistently places projects benefiting low-income and homeless people in East Harlem.
She said she had already noticed an increase in drug use in the neighborhood, especially after the opening of several overdose prevention centers, and she was worried that the operator of the new building would not do enough to prevent drug use or crime from rising.
Other, wealthier neighborhoods should also make way for these types of developments, she argued.
“Why do children on the Upper East Side and Upper West Side have the right to clean and safe streets, and children in East Harlem don’t?” she said.

Agreed. It’s exclusionary. People shouldn’t have to show ID to get a job.0

Mamdani will burn for this.0

Just pointing out how hypocritical it is regardless of one’s stance on voter ID. Same way you pointed out the hypocrisy in another thread about people believing the 2024 election was rigged.Tim Simmons said:Mamdani will burn for this.Post edited by nicknyr15 on0 -

So explain to everyone how it’s hypocritical, please. You have to show ID at the polls, unless you showed ID when you registered. You have to show ID to be hired to shovel snow, or for any job that you might be paid for. Explain the hypocrisy to an idiot like me.
We know tons of employers hire illegals and pay them, particularly in the construction, food service, agriculture and meat packing industries. We also know that there isn’t a problem with people who don’t have authorization to be in the US voting and swaying elections. There’s your hypocrisy. O fucking K?

So explain to everyone how it’s hypocritical, please. You have to show ID at the polls, unless you showed ID when you registered. You have to show ID to be hired to shovel snow, or for any job that you might be paid for. Explain the hypocrisy to an idiot like me.
We know tons of employers hire illegals and pay them, particularly in the construction, food service, agriculture and meat packing industries. We also know that there isn’t a problem with people who don’t have authorization to be in the US voting and swaying elections. There’s your hypocrisy. O fucking K?

Yeah I’ve never had to show ID at the polls they ask my name I give it to them they find me and off to the boothjesus greets me looks just like me ....0

It’s not really an apples to apples situation (the American right to vote vs getting paid for a job). Ultimately, You shouldn’t need an id to do either though.It’s far more likely people will try to scam the city for money rather than the state for votes, so I can see why it went this way (especially in light of the the covid scams that have been uncovered).0

I’ve had to show ID for every job I was hired for, starting when I was 14 and using my original birth certificate. I haven’t had to show ID to vote after I registered and particularly upon renewing my driver’s license when motor-voter passed up to 2020 when my state passed a voter ID law. Voting fraud is a myth, states are responsible for administering their elections, and the SAVE Amerikkka Act is nothing but a repub, authoritarian ploy to disenfranchise millions of US citizens of their right to vote.
It was a dumb comparison and The Bus Driver won’t “burn” for requiring ID to get paid for snow shovelling.Maybe The Bus Driver doesn’t want all those poor Flo Rideraens flocking up to NYC and taking jobs away from NYC residents?09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

Eh, other than a SS# and address, not really. and if you aren't a US citizen with a SS#, then the appropriate work permit.
what they are asking for to shovel snow is silly.
