NYPD cops get drenched by buckets of water

The 19-second video shows a man pick up the bucket and hurl it at the cop,
prompting several bystanders to exclaim, “Oh!” as it bounces off his head.

NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan posted a still image of the
ricocheting bucket on his Twitter account, where he called the video
“reprehensible.”

“NYC’s cops & communities have made remarkable progress — together — but
EVERY New Yorker MUST show respect for our cops. They deserve nothing less,”
he wrote.

It’s unclear when the Harlem incident occurred, but sources said the other
one took place sometime after 4 p.m. in near 1400 East New York Ave. – little
more than two blocks away from the 73rd Precinct station house in
Brownsville.

The 33-second video shows two cops in sopping-wet uniforms walking away as
water flies through the air toward their backs.

At one point, a young man runs up behind one cop and dumps a bucket of water
over his head.

One of the cops recently graduated from the Police Academy and the other has
about a year on the job, sources said.

Neither notified the NYPD about the incident before the video surfaced on
social media, sources said.

A police source blamed the incidents on the NYPD’s “hands-off approach to
these guys” under Mayor Bill de Blasio.

“Who does that in their right frame of mind? People who believe there’s no
consequences,” the source said.

“There’s total anarchy out here. This is very sad.”

An NYPD supervisor also warned, “Today it’s a bucket of water. Tomorrow it
could be a bucket of cement.”

That remark referenced the 1993 slaying of city Housing Authority cop John
Williamson, who was struck and killed by a 30-pound bucket of spackling
compound tossed from a Washington Heights rooftop amid unrest that began when
the NYPD began towing illegally parked cars.

The head of the NYPD Police Benevolent Association called the water bucket
attacks “the end result of the torrent of bad policies and anti-police
rhetoric that has been streaming out of City Hall and Albany for years now.”

“We are approaching the point of no return. Disorder controls the streets,
and our elected leaders refuse to allow us to take them back.” PBA President
Patrick Lynch said.

“As police officers, we need to draw a line. In situations like this, we need
to take action to protect ourselves and the public. The politicians may not
care about the dangerous levels of chaos in our neighborhoods, but police
officers and decent New Yorkers should not be forced to suffer.”

Both videos were initially posted on separate Instagram accounts, then re-
posted on a Twitter account devoted to New York City emergencies.

The Twitter videos each racked up more than 60,000 views in their first five
hours online.

An NYPD spokesman said the department “is aware of the videos and is looking
into it.”

You would be surprised how bad some of those cops are. No,
they don't deserve respect but to be put in a real Jail. Besides,
they defend the communism issued by the congress and the state.
These people throwing water, are just trying to make them wake up
before dday.
