NYPD Officers Fight Each Other at Tense Union Meeting: "It Got Ugly"
Jordan Sargent · 01/13/15 07:00PMIt turns out the seething, misplaced rage of the NYPD that has been brewing since the murder of officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu last month isn't directed solely at the citizens of New York City and Mayor Bill de Blasio.

J.K. Trotter · 01/08/15 03:25PMThe Bill de Blasio Marijuana Rumors are Coming from Cops
J.K. Trotter · 01/08/15 12:26PMFor the bulk of his tenure, New York City mayor Bill de Blasio has been dogged by rumors that he and his wife consume marijuana with some frequency. Yesterday, at a press conference in Brooklyn, he told a Daily Caller reporter that “I haven’t smoked marijuana since I was at NYU” and denied he ever smoked weed at Gracie Mansion, the official residence of the mayor.

Don't Hate the NYPD for Protesting, Hate Them For Why They Did It
Jordan Sargent · 12/30/14 02:00PMAs the outrage winds have swirled around the NYPD's decision to turn their backs to Bill De Blasio at the funeral of murdered officer Rafael Ramos, some in the police force's corner have been compelled to bend in the other direction. This weekend, both NYPD commissioner Bill Bratton and semi-professional police state spokesperson Rudy Giulinai distanced themselves from the police protest, with Bratton calling the demonstration "inappropriate." They are right, but for the wrong reasons.
