Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik says more than 300 New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers have been injured in the weeks-long riots and nearly 600 are considering leaving their posts.

During an interview on Fox News’s Justice with Judge Jeanine, Kerik said hundreds of NYPD officers have been injured during riots in which rioters, arsonists, and looters ravaged neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

In addition, Kerik said the civil unrest may be leading to hundreds of NYPD officers leaving their jobs as Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) has now vowed to cut funding and reduce the department’s power.

“Well, you’ve had over 300 — I think about 320 — that have been injured, I think some in the hospital,” Kerik said. “But there were over 300 injuries.”

“And the thing that scares me … I’m hearing close to 600 cops have either put in their papers or they’re talking to the [NYPD] about resigning or retiring,” Kerik continued.

I'm glad I've had my fill of NYC 'cause I sure won't be going back there anytime soon.

Well, deblabbermouth says he wants to disband the police force anyway, so no need for the officers to resign.

Mayors and city councils who abuse their PDs as whipping boys may find out that police officers are human beings and won't lay back and "enjoy" it.

I sense a lot of NYC police officers are looking around at the suburbs right now, wondering to which ones they should submit their resumes...

I've never seen more glaring examples of "elections have consequences" than these idiot city leaders advocating for eliminating police.   Disarming the populace is next, of course.   And God knows how much more blood they will have on their hands if they succeed in either endeavor.

If they land a job on Long Island they can expect a major bump in salary, perhaps as much as three fold increase.
