As should all of us. Recall that Mr. Thompson said that as his first act he would to assign an assistant DA to each precinct to monitor activities of patrolmen in enforcing no stop and frisk. That would mean that the cop on the beat now has to be concerned with the judge’s ruling, the fear of a law suit , the monitor oversight, the civilian complaint review board, and the Assistant DA. Could anyone properly perform their task of policing under those circumstances. Clearly Mr. Thompsons priorities are not ours.
I agree with hrhine
