NYPD Claims Quotas Are Necessary Because Cops Are Lazy
Anything to get them out of the patrol car, eh?
The picture painted in court of the New York Police Department's officers was not pretty.
Ten percent of them were malcontents who worked as little as possible. Unless they are being paid overtime, officers seem to avoid writing summonses. Indeed, some police officers need to be weaned of the idea that they are paid to drive around in their patrol cars, eating doughnuts.
And those sentiments came not from critics of the department, but from police commanders and city lawyers.
