More than a thousand New York City cops have filed to leave the NYPD this year. This raises serious doubts as to whether the Big Apple will be able to keep a substantive police presence in the city and maintain safety and security. One thing is for certain, terrorists are licking their chops over less cops as the city is considered by many of them to be "Ground Zero."
"You're losing qualified [people], you're losing experience, you're losing so much when it comes to that kind of stuff," Caputo told guest host Ashley Strohmier.
Caputo left his 18-year service as did many others in the exodus before receiving full pensions. He said the city is "steering away" from encouraging cops to pursue criminals adding that the city and top cops are "putting victims and police in jeopardy."
Strohmier then had the men discuss New York City's "diaphragm law," which prohibits officers from placing suspects in choke holds or exerting pressure on a suspect's diaphragm and pointed to a recent example of MMA fighter Ro Malabanan, who took down a criminal suspect by securing him against the ground.
"The progressive city council would have went after an officer [if they had done the same move], they would have went after their job," Imperatrice said. "Any type of fight – especially martial arts – you end up on the ground, and that's what it's all about; you're trying to subdue the individual. That MMA fighter did nothing wrong, but he had to use his body weight to subdue them until officers arrived…"

Both men claimed officers are risking "everything" to do their jobs amid a hostile environment toward law enforcement.

Caputo followed up on the topic, answering Strohmier's question about incentives for joining the NYPD by saying there are "none," and adding, "I wouldn't really encourage that many people to take this job anymore."
Fun Fact: the term "cop" originated from the time police officers wore copper buttons on their uniform. You might be old enough to remember actor James Cagney yelling, "You'll never take me alive, Copper."
