Not Bias, But Donuts
If it came from anyone else, the police union would protest. But it came from the brass. The New York Times reports on the defense of the NYPD in the trial of Floyd v. City of New York, before SDNY Judge Shira Scheindlin on the constitutionality of stop & frisk:
Ten percent of them were malcontents who worked as little as possible. Unless they are being paid overtime, officers seem to avoid writing summonses. Indeed, some police officers need to be weaned of the idea that they are paid to drive around in their patrol cars, eating doughnuts.
This from Super Chief Joseph J. Esposito, the highest ranking uniformed member of the force. The deputy commissioner for labor relations, John Beirne, confirmed.
“I think we’re charged with trying to get the police officers to work, do the things that they’re getting paid for.”
So it's not exactly serve and protect? Apparently, it's more about overtime. <snip>

What a glowing assessment of his employees.
