Morale is low in the New York Police Department and in Democrat-run cities across the nation as pressure mounts to defund police departments, an NYPD officer said Saturday. “The term for the NYPD that is going around in every command in the city is 'the job is dead.' You would be crazy to take this job at this day and age," the officer said. The officer said crime in the city has become so bad he now advises tourists -- and his own relatives -- to stay away. Critics, including former mayor Rudy Giuliani and former New York City police commissioners, have blamed de Blasio for contributing to rising anti-police sentiment and plunging morale among officers.
