What is baffling to me is that the people of NYC made a police captain their mayor.

Do people in NYC think the NYPD is weirdly bloated? I don’t live there but, obviously, I get exposed to NYC’s local news whether I want it or not and the NYPD just seems unaccountable and way more involved in politics and graft than other cities’ police departments.

Absolutely unaccountable. Is that different where you are?

Checking in from a state in the south. Naw it is the same. Just fewer people snooping around asking questions. My area was big on Live PD and part of the downfall of the show.

It does seem different where I live (NOLA) but we have a whole different situation here w/r/t policing in terms of staffing and budgets and even demographics/culture. They’re also operating under a consent decree so apparently not that unaccountable.
