will recently is sat down with
Nypd officer who hear his
experience front lines, first
handled
law enforcement and politics and
failures of local leaders
at his request we have hidden
his face and altered his voice,
so he could speak freely.
Take a look
when I became a police
officer many years ago. I never
thought that I would have to put
this uniform on and be looked at
as the enemy and to be hated
and its not fair,
because we sacrifice ourselves
every day,
no matter what your skin color
is its sad
in my tenure here at Nypd. I can
never imagine that it would be
this bad as far as not being
supported
will, when you say there is a
lack of support and those that
have an agenda towards police.
Who are you talking about
the makers, the City Council,
the d dot as office?
How do you feel about Mayor
DE blasio
that man does not care about
the police? He doesnt care about
black lives?
You know he is more concerned
with painting murals.
Our crime rate has skyrocketed
almost. I want to say triple. Last
time I checked, our shootings
were about seven hundred and seventy seven, whereas if you
look at the comparison from
two thousand and nineteen, we were at that for the
whole year and we still have
about six months left.
How widely held within the
police department are the
opinions of De Blasio that you
just voiced that you hold.
I will put it to you like
this.
The term for Nypd that is going
around in every command in the
city is the job is dead. You
would be crazy to take this job
this day and age,
lack of support from the
d dot as office,
lack of prosecutions,
criminals being released from
prison,
possibly criminals that you had
busted at one point
yes,
now being released.
How does that make you feel?
Why would you even want to
put the uniform on to do your
job if we are putting them in
jail for the crime and the da is
just going to release
they whats the point of doing
the job
it defeats the purpose
its just a revolving door
will officer. You have had a lot
of criticism from Mayor De
Blasio. Many in the New York
political administration have
you always been someone critical
of Democrats critical of this
administration.
You know I would never look
at myself as one to follow
politics.
I used to be a Democrat.
I would have to say im a
Republican.
You believe President Trump
supports law enforcement.
Absolutely absolutely
will from what are you seen? Do
you believe Joe Biden and Kamala
Harris would support police
officers?
Absolutely not
absolutely not.
They would not support us
people who allow these
protesters to talk about how
they want to defund. The police
department were there to make
sure that nothing happens to
them, but they are the ones
saying that they want us dead.
Will sorry you feel that way
that morale within the
department, how widespread
its, not just in Nypd its
across the United States,
its sad that thats, where we
are at right now,
people who are saying that were
afraid were not afraid.
We just want to be supported.
Will the job is dead?
This isnt just a New York
story, PETE
its not just a New York story
Jed.
This is happening across the
country, San Francisco, Chicago
Portland, Seattle.
This is what I mean when I bring
up the Biden. Harris proposal
when it comes to policing is
empty, ready to be filled by
people like Bill De Blasio.
This is what will be left of
police departments
by the way. In the second hour of
Fox AMP friends. This morning we
will be playing part two of my
interview with that police
officer
Jedediah
Jedediah yeah. I underline that
statement that you just repeated
the job is dead because thats
what we are all afraid of
right,
we are afraid that police
officers are being treated so
badly and feel that they cant
do their job the way they are
intended to that they are just
going to plea.
We see them fleeing and saying I
wouldnt recommend that my son
or my friend become a police
officer.
So I think this is really
important that you did this,
because you see you feel the
emotion from this man who
unfortunately felt that he had
to hide his identity to express
these realities that are
happening, and I think its
important that we hear from law
enforcement like him and from
police officers and saying
listen were not afraid
that was powerful
were not afraid.
We just want to be supported.
Pete will great job.
I hear in that sentiment exactly
what I would hear from a
sergeant in a platoon whose
commanders doesnt support the.
