Hard to blame them really. NYPD exodus: Police on pace to quit, retire in record numbers.
Some 524 cops have resigned and 1,072 have retired as of May 31, NYPD pension stats obtained by The Post show.
The 1,596 total is a 38% spike from the same period in 2021, when 1,159 cops called it a career, and a staggering 46% climb from 2020, when 1,092 left the force by the same date.
You can guess the reasons: Bail reform, and hostility from the politicians and the public, and the general anti-cop/soft-on-crime stance of the city.
With crime on the rise, and soft-on-crime politicians, things will get worse. Having fewer cops will not help get crime under control. But then the Democrats don't want crime to be under control. (Hat tip to Hot Air.)
