Ex-police commissioner sues New York City and Eric Adams over alleged NYPD corruption

3 comments

The alleged corruption, Donlon claims, was used to promote unqualified, politically connected cops and “triggered a massive, unlawful transfer of public wealth – millions of dollars in unearned salary increases, overtime eligibility, pension enhancements, and post-retirement benefits”.
I refuse to believe that the mayor who made a deal with Trump to scuttle an investigation would stoop so low! /s
I wonder how much credibility the ousted commissioner has- genuinely. He was sidelined and pushed out by the Adams administration pretty quickly, so if anything I’m inclined to believe him. It’ll be interesting to see what the courts do.
- I wonder how much of him coming out now is him personally taking revenge on Adam’s in an attempt to torpedo his reelection campaign, and in turn crow bar the influence of NYPD people still standing by him.
  Like, not doubting what he’s saying is true, but I wonder if he held his tongue till now because he feels personally burned by the system.
