I’m originally from there. You don’t get to be an NYPD commissioner by getting all honest on the troops.

Suspended without pay? Heavens! Imagine how Scarface would have felt - or Heisenberg!

Yeah I remember when my employer found out I was an international heroin smuggler. The time off was great but that loss of pay really effected me. I had to cry on the stacks of drug money because I couldn’t afford a tissue.

He’s right- cops are never charged with breaking the law. I wonder why this case was so different?

Well, I’m troubled that he’s troubled. Perhaps next he’ll be “deeply concerned” and then even “alarmed.”

If he really wants an A for effort perhaps he could even ‘deplore’ it. Tons of good examples to crib from, mostly written by UN functionaries about ethnic meatgrinders nobody cares enough about to stop, so he’d get the correct “I’m just a helpless observer here” implications provided without further effort.

I’m troubled that he said, “Today’s arrest… are troubling.”

Is he English? That would explain his level of understatement.

Just spitballing here, but seeing as drug dealing is “equal opportunity employment,” the commissioner might be troubled that a person of color was able to pay off their mortgage!
Wow – without pay? Usually cops caught breaking the law (including murder) are just given a paid vacation.
It can be a very career (or life) limiting move.
