City cops are getting beaten at a record-setting pace — a disturbing and dangerous trend fueled by radical protests, an influx of criminal migrants, bail reform, anti-cop rhetoric and soft-on-crime prosecutors, experts told The Post.
The number of cops hurt by suspects surged 20% in 2022, when 4,724 uniformed officers suffered injuries in attacks, compared to 3,933 in 2021.
But the law enforcement nightmare grew worse last year, when 4,077 cops were hurt by suspects in just the first nine months of 2023 — on pace for a record-breaking 5,436 injuries, the latest NYPD stats show.
The data for the last quarter of 2023 has not been released.

In a sane world, cops would be allowed and encouraged to defend themselves with any means at their disposal, up to and including lethal force.

What you tolerate multiplies unless acted upon by the non-tolerant. NYC asked for this. They encouraged it. They got it. And now? The sane thing would be to prosecute the living cah-cah out of criminals, start voting for Republicans who don't tolerate law-breakers, and to deport every last illegal.

I dont much care for cops. I was one in the early 80's and saw first hand the kind of bullies and control freaks the job attracts. That has been further reinforced by recent reality cop shows where they pile onto some suspect, punch him and kick him and put knees into his back, all while screaming "Stop resisting!" Its not a good look. You do that to me, I'm resisting.
No cop has ever stopped me for my benefit. The best I've ever got is to leave with what I arrived with. They seem to make a game of intimidating people into surrendering their 4th amendment rights. Back in my cop days they actually taught us a class on how to turn any traffic stop into a felony.
I dont advocate for violence against them, but neither am I a big fan. They are the enforcement arm of the government and they will mostly do what they are told.

If only Mayor Sportin' Life had some understanding of what it is like to be a cop. He might care.

It's not surprising when an officer is sitting in jail for doing his job with George Floyd.

Change the rules.
If they assault the officer he can respond, immediately, with lethal force. Body cams to back up the action. If the perp runs away, that's one thing. If they attack the officer shoot 'em.

Why didn't someone in power warn us that we might not be getting the best and brightest crossing our border illegally? Oh wait.......

In response to #3:
Completely agree. Cops these days are trained and rewarded based on the number of arrests they make. They are encouraged to lie to the people they interact with. They are looking for any excuse to attack the public.
The training MUST change. Interacting with a cop, especially in city/metro areas, is taking your life in your hands. If they don't protect us, what good are they? I don't pay taxes and support law and order for LEOs to use their badge to act like thugs. As long as they do, then it is justifiable to defend yourself.

There should be a mandatory, lengthy, no-parole prison sentence for assaulting a policeman. In New York and too many other states, not going to happen.

Just have the cops pull back and let the city just collapse into an endless orgy of crime, violence and destruction. At some point, people will have enough and want to bring back law and order.
Until then, let them enjoy what they voted for.

I can't think of anything smarter than to make war on your own cops. Yes, there are some bad just like there are bad everything but to paint them with a broad brush is the same as doing that with any group.

Hint to Adams, the dancing fool: You can equip your police force with fully automatic weapons. You could sweep the streets of New York City clean within a few days. Do it, dumbass, if you care about the citizens of your city and your police.

between training cops to be thugs, and showing criminals they can beat mentioned thugs with impunity, what did anyone expect?

Look at the mayor, look at the D.A., look at the thugs, the criminals committing the violent crimes, connect the dots. Then look at every other democratic run city. See a pattern. Get it yet.

Remember the NY Guardian Angels? NY needs a whole regiment of Guardian Plisskens to protect civilization, civilians, and the police. A few weeks or months of Snake Plissken protection, and most NY creeps would high tail it to San Francisco.
