The police culture needs to change period God help us all.

Respect to this lieutenant, standing up for the peoples rights! I guess it's true they get rid of those who uphold their oath to the constitution. Just imagine, all the officers that are following these corrupt practices are getting away with A LOT we don't see. What a darn shame!

I want to say thanks to the NYPD lieutenant for speaking about this issue and speaking out against the police department wanting to do racial profiling, illegal searches, and harassment on people with disabilities. As a person with autism including a learning disability, I have faced many challenges on being harassed by law enforcement due to having a disability across america including my visit to NYC. I totally agree that there is a need to have police reform to ban racial profiling, hold law enforcement officers accountable when they do misconduct or abuse or harass people with disabilities. It makes me sad that national news, both political parties, public officials, state attorney across america, judges, and many others aren't advocate of common sense reform in criminal justice, are against people with disabilities' rights, and are pro police without reform. I want to thank the local news including many local news reporters across the country including NBC New York for doing reporting on news, holding public officials accountable, and doing investigation reporting. When I see many local news reporters across America including the different cities do these things it helps inspire me to learn, work hard on my disability, and to feel good that my voice gets heard.

These men should sue for their full pensions

Adams is down with the order, so his allegiance is always to the status quo, he and his minions are all compromised.

[SIKE]

the NYC mayor was a mediocre ex-cop who made 20 arrests in twenty years and sued his way up the ranks.

[godbless]

God bless him he said I would rather roll with the right than the wrong. He's speaking nothing but the truth. They would never say he's right. Thank you for your service. I wish we had more like you, GOD BLESS, AND PROTECT HIM AND US.

[Sonic-shvh]

[riverlife]

Wishing that he wins his lawsuit and gets a big judgment or settlement.

[ultimatetruthteller]

He’s wasting his time. The system is too powerful for him to beat. Enjoy your retirement 😂😂😂

[eddiebax]

It takes courage to speak out against the thin blue-line gang. Respect.

[YoP-]

Peace and blessings to the lieu.. All the best. Regarding your retirement.

[melindahernandez]

I respect and honor you Lieutenant Werner Raymond. You are THE REAL HERO AMONG THE CORRUPT ESTABLISHMENT. Yourself and the other 11 brave hearts who STOOD UP FOR JUSTICE should have been promoted to high positions in which CHANGE WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE COME FORTH. For as long as the corruption people are in charge, white OR TOKEN men and women of color, NYC WILL ALWAYS SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES! GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES SAFE ❤🙏.

The truth is finally revealed. I had family member who were in Law Enforcement told me this years ago. They can dismiss it all they want. The Kat is out the bag. May The Truth Be Told

[joetube]
