Why she took the job in the first place is a mystery.

People leap at opportunities, for sure, but nobody ever did more than pretend she would have anything
approaching autonomy — and Phil Banks’ gamy reputation was no secret, either.
Sewell came from the Nassau County PD, a largely suburban agency with just 2,500 officers, to
command a department roughly the size of two infantry divisions — daunting under any circumstances.

Certainly, the NYPD’s cultural challenges have never been kind to outsiders, no matter who lives in Gracie
Mansion.
Plus the demands of urban policing in a post-George Floyd environment could have defeated any good
cop — no matter who.

But it’s the “no matter who” that counts most now.

Who was responsible for what seems to be stabilizing crime rates —

homicides?

The NYPD is interesting things — there’s even evidence
doing some
of a de facto return to the so-called “broken windows” policing that
pulled the city back from the abyss the last time.

Was Sewell behind that? Banks?

Is Adams making good, at long last, on campaign promises to make NYPD Commissioner
the city safer? Keechant Sewell
suddenly resigns,
Most importantly, is that progress sustainable in an ominously anti- blindsiding City Hall:
sources
environment?
It sometimes seems that the only folks who care about safe streets are
those who must use them — and certainly not those elected to protect them.

It ain’t easy being blue these days.

The City Council, with its overreaching restrictions on the use of reasonable force, has made the job
objectively more dangerous.

The state Legislature and New York’s progressive prosecutors have put cops squarely in the middle of a
public crying out for safety and a criminal justice establishment that refuses to provide it.

Adams’ close ally Banks was known to be making the important decisions for the department.

Morale? Forget about it, and no surprise there.

Radical activists are harassing cops in the streets; officers are hamstrung by politicized constraints; the
NYPD is losing cops in record numbers to resignation and retirement ; recruiting is way down and
traditional training standards for those who do join are evaporating.

The NYPD, in other words, is a world-class — but profoundly troubled — organization.

193 What do you think? Post a comment.

So recruiting a world-class police commissioner with Phil Banks hovering , in the background, is going to
be no easy task.

Indeed, given Keechant Sewell’s experience, anybody who wants the job probably won’t be fit for it.

Hold on, I’m having a little trouble keeping up. The diversity-hire police commissioner, who
hecked two boxes, lacked experience for the job but was given no real authority under the
iversity-hire mayor, who checked just one box and who invested real power in his corrupt
riend, who was a bureaucrat and not actually on the force. Meanwhile, the NYPD is mainly
at present with handing out petty fines for public drinking, because real criminals are
released after having their charges watered down or dropped entirely by the diversity-hire
DA, who is essentially an animatronic figure programmed by the perverse minds of the
left and the Soros cabal. Just trying to keep up.

We had law and order and relative peace and security on our streets in the many decades that

ears or so the city has been dumbing down first the mental and then the physical
equirements for the job.As a result we now have many thousands on the job who have NO
USINESS being policemen.This is the unspoken truth ,and one of the big reasons why there is
respect for cops on our streets Another huge reason is the "minority" politicians ,both in the
council and in Albany ,who have now attained great power ,and use it to do everything they
to keep their brothas and sistas out of jail,the law-abiding public be damned.So, the good

it's the liberals and the poc in charge that are ruining everything . I always knew she was just a
EI hire . Just look at the FDNY

two salaries with no accountability.
