Cursing Cops Can Continue

That's what Andrew Case says (politely). Mr. Case is a spokesman for New York's Civilian Complaint Review Board. He believes that strong language can be an effective tool for a police officer to use in certain situations. Surprisingly, the NYPD guidebook instructs cops to be “courteous and respectful.” It does not explicitly forbid profanity. Of 4,024 complaints, only 6.6% were substantiated. In most of these cases, the officers usually received a stern lecture. That’s unf*ckingbelieveable, no? If strong language from a policeman can prevent the need for additional stronger action, it’s probably a good f*cking thing.
