I have been reading their boards for a while now and I have to say they have been bashing the NYPD as much as they can. I guess they don't like their ouw skeletons so they try to pick on someone else.
Well I am here to inform you that they have finally crossed the line. Go to Florida, Broward Sheriff's Office (yes the idiots who started the show COPS and now have a TLC thing about their female deputies) and read the post titled "another one" They not only are talking their usual crap about you guys but now they are openly saying the NYPD are NOT heroes of 9-11.
Enough is enough, this is disgusting. I don't want to start a war between you too (10-1 u guys can run circles around these clowns) but I think you should be informed. If you vacation in the Ft. Lauderdale/Broward County area and you should run into a BSO deputy down here DO NOT tell them u r NYPD, they will find any reason to give you a ticket or lock you up. I'm sure you have already heard stories of these guys issuing tickets to brothers. There are very few good guys down here who know to do the right thing but don't take the chance, there are over 6300 employees, the previous sheriff just finished a prison sentence and the current sheriff is openly corrupt. BSO is a joke and has been for years. I have respect for the NYPD- u r the first and the best! remember that...
I believe in the Law Enforcement Family but down here it's kill or be killed by fellow LEO's. We all know each agency has it's bad apples, we all know each agency has it's cry babies and do nothings but BSO unfortunately is just full of them, bucket loads.
I want to say to u the NYPD- u have the ut most respect from me. Be safe and I will NEVER forget the sacrifices you all made on that day, the days prior and the days to come.
Thank you for your professionalism and representing a true law enforcement agency.
