The sad, ugly future of NYC under How Many Stops

NY Post Editorial Board
Published Feb. 1, 2024

The "How Many Stops" bill requires NYPD officers to report on even minor interactions with the public. Critics, including Mayor Eric Adams, have argued that it would bury cops in paperwork and threaten public safety.

Last weekend’s migrant-mob beating of two cops left us to wonder: How would a police officer report this under the City Council’s How Many Stops Act? Here’s our guess.

NYPD interaction report, 1/28/24:

Interaction 1: Female, black, older, asked how to transfer to go to Forest Hills from 42nd St., complained of rude and rowdy men loitering down the block.


Interaction 2: Male, 20-something. Based on the fist that hit me in the face, I believe Hispanic. Asked him and his friends to move along. A disagreement ensued. He disagreed by grabbing onto me. Disagreement proceeded to the ground.


Interaction 3: Kicked in the stomach by they/them — was unable to judge race, age or gender from position on ground.


Interaction 4: Male, 20-something, yelling in Spanish from a distance so let’s say Hispanic. He was yelling “Golpealo!” and miming a boxing motion. I did not speak to him. Does that count as an interaction? Do I have to log this?


Interaction 5: Male he was yelling to. This young man I did interact with as he struck the side of my face. Wearing jeans, boots, a parka and a baseball cap with a brim that’s never been bent with the sticker still on. Also Hispanic I assume because he understood “Golpealo” meant to hit me again.


Interaction 6: Kicked again by same person. Still unsure of preferred pronouns.


Interaction 7: Couple, white, older, hurried past trying not to make eye contact. Seemed like tourists but I shouldn’t judge.


Interaction 8: Explained to male, Hispanic, 20-something that he was under arrest and going to jail. He laughed and hit me again, saying that he’s new in town but knows that’s not true.


Interaction 9: Hispan-ish? Hard to tell, I was blacking out at this point.


Interaction 10: Along with partner (male, white, 30-something) managed to subdue a few of the attackers. Backup (male, black, 20-something; female, Asian, 20-something; female, black, 20-something; male, white, 20-something) chased after the others.


Interaction 11: Talked to bodega owner, male, older, Middle Eastern? Hispanic? about getting an ice pack for my face.


Interaction 12: Talked to the assistant district attorney (female, white, 30-something) and made suggestions about what they could be charged with. She laughed. Suspects let go without bail.


Interaction 13: Four male, Hispanic, 20-somethings waved and blew kisses as they walked out of court. Two hours later, still doing paperwork and wobbling a loose tooth or two. End of shift.


City Council review note: Officer interacted with more Hispanic males than any other race. Obvious racist. Recommend firing and defunding police department.

NYC might as well issue the warrant for failure to appear now, rather than waiting, cause those four ain't coming back voluntarily.

Anyone want to bet these assholes eventually murder someone?

Or law abiding citizens for that matter. What happens on the street can sometimes stay there… perhaps especially when the responding shield is still bearing bruises and lacerations.

IMO, this is exactly what this criminal administration wants, preferably with guns so they can sweep in and decry “right wing violence” as opposed to the reality- regular people fed up with this shit. It will get worse before it gets better.
