NYPD Captain: You Need To Arrest More Black Guys (AUDIO)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 май 2024
- An NYPD officer recorded his captain asking him why he’s not arresting more “bad guys.” Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“When NYPD officer Michael Birch was summoned into a performance evaluation meeting with his commanding officer and a lieutenant one day in August 2012, he was expecting to hear more of what he’d heard in the past about the way he did his job: that he wasn’t generating enough “activity.” As an officer in the transit bureau, he says, that meant being told to issue more summonses for fare evasion, and arresting more people for stealing fellow straphangers’ cell phones.
Instead, “the conversation just turned completely weird to me,” he said in an interview this week. “Because he’s basically telling me it’s OK to racially profile.”
Birch provided Gawker with what he claims is a recording he secretly made of that meeting, on which a man who seems to be his commanding officer can be heard repeatedly questioning him about his recent summonses, placing particular emphasis on the fact that he has only stopped two black men out of 54 total people. “Two male blacks,” the man says at one point. “So you’re telling me you only saw two male blacks jump the turnstile?”

And this is "progressive" New York. Just imagine the conversations happening in the South
The irony is that so called liberals are actually more racist.
Jeff Pride Exactly, those views were "normal" in the 70s, some of them are still alive. They had children and taught them the same thing. Obviously, its getting better but we have a few more generations to go.
+bossdrax lol ok
+bossdrax Whatever floats your boat mate.
+bossdrax what are you talking about?
whats more shocking about this story is that there exists an honest NYPD cop.
right !
He literally said, "you're not stopping enough black men" and people are still debating whether or not there is racism in the system.
We need to arrest more Racist Cops and Judges.
Racist Trolls be like : what?? I hear no evil ? I see no evil
yeah
get cancer
+goldenglory79 oh dear play nice now.
Proportionally.
+goldenglory79 Hey whats wrong buddy? you seem upset? this is a safe space you can tell me whats wrong.
Damn that's sad....The man specifically said he targets EVERYONE, and that isn't enough!?
SaiyanZ Rage
What in the world would it matter, if someone is 20 or 89? Jewish or Christian? If they are doing something wrong, STOP THEM. That is your ONLY job. Turning a blind eye to everyone EXCEPT BLACKS is what has the incarceration and arrest numbers so out of wack. The guy nabbed 2 black guys so far, and gets shit from his BOSS because of it? Thats sickening...
If she broke a law then yes.
+SaiyanZ Rage if that 80 year old Jewish women is committing crimes she should be caught just like everyone else
+SaiyanZ Rage you need to rethink policing and its purpose
Guys, SaiyanZ Rage is a white nationalist. There's no point.
Prison is a business... law enforcement is the supply chain.
2manynegativewaves okay then citations are a business and law enforcement are the supply chain for that as well
2manynegativewaves that's what the "pop" was referring to. A pop is when a warrant pops on the computer screen when an ID is run . If there's a warrant they can make another arrest (i.e. supply).
[Btw, the 13th amendment to constitution says...
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, EXCEPT AS A PUNISHMENT FOR A CRIME whereof the party shall have been duly CONVICTED, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
So slavery still exists in USA for *those convicted of crimes*. And slave labor is free labor = money]
The commander wants the officer to get more "pops" and so he says the officer should target the group statistically more likely to have warrants; more likely to be criminals. Blacks.
It's a corrupt system that feeds its own corruption, because if this officer were to follow the commanders orders he'd have to ignore actual offenders (which were whites, hispanics, and mostly women), and only target blacks.
...but if there were only ever 2 blacks caught all year, that would mean only 2 citations would be written all year.
This is indeed all about business.
Couple of years ago I was going through some hard times and I was in midtown Manhattan 34th ST herald square train station homeless due to gentefication which I'm not agaisnt remodeling the neoghborhood just got kicked out illegally. I asked someone with an unlimited metro card to swipe me on the train. It was extremely cold coming out of class at DeVry college of New York and I just simply wanted to be somewhere warm for the rest of the night. Prior to that two girls jumped the turnestile and the undecovers were right there and did nothing. I wasn't worried about the undercovers there because I simply thought I was innocent asking for help and not jumping the turnstile. After I got swiped in the undercovers approached me and put hand cuffs on me. Ironically one of officers nephew a couple stations away at 14th st union square was caught by one of his partners for jumping the turnstile and of course was released. Couple months later I had a new job and bumped into the same cops again at the 34th st train station but this time I had money to pay for my own fare and confronted him as a taxpayer and told him you work for me now. I blew him up in front of his captain and the captain denied his fellow officer of making such an an awful arrest asking for a swipe. The captain tells me, "oh he's a great officer who makes about 100k per year with a lot of collars under his belt". They didn't believe he would make a cheesy arrest like that and started questioning his arrest records and the fact that he probably didn't deserve some of the promotions he had received. For once a group of cops were on my side and that cop they use to look up to was no longer a hero to them but a dooshbag
Uh oh, you have "black" and "cop" in the tagline. Here come the trolls supporting the targeting of black males and then claim they aren't racists, just pulling out some "facts".
Yep. The people who are “just telling the truth about TYT”.
lmaooo
Lol this guy speaks the truth
yeah
lmao
This is absurd. If someone isn't doing anything wrong, why target them? Anyone who would talk like that here in the German police force would be fired.
That's not what is happening.
Black males are the demographic which are the majority perpetrators of these offenses and the Captain is trying to find out why only two of the people this officer has cited fall within that demographic.
The Captain is of the belief that this officer is deliberately avoiding arresting black males.
He's not asking him to just arrest black males for nothing he's suspicious that this officer is allowing black males to get away with offending because he does not want to arrest them.
The Captain is of the opinion that this officer is displaying a racial bias by avoiding arresting black offenders.
Yeah. I hear Germany is doing *very* well these days.
+Marty Robinson waiting for realization in 3.....2.....1......
this has been well known though?
If they are targeted more, whether they committed a crime or not then by logic their crime statisitcs are going to be higher. Stats without context means nothing, as this audio as proven. America is a scummy nation.
Justice for all doesn’t exist in America
Black people have been complaining about this for decades now that there's a 24 hours news cycle and social media it's all coming to light
Darryl Barnes Complaining is worthless in the grand scheme of things.
Darryl Barnes Not just social media. But combined with the publics access to instantly cell phone video these events they can no longer deny or hide their murderous guilt. And no politician is demanding nationwide police reform from top to bottom under Dept. Of Justice certification to hold them all accountable. So they are secretly in on this genocidal agenda.
Kay C ... I'll forgive you for your complaint then.
In this video a police officer TRIED to do the right thing and his commanding officer stopped him.
its hard being a black man in america were hunted like mutants.
Yes. I saw 4 young people jay walk downtown. Two black two white. Two cops stopped them all, but let the white kids go and cuffed and detained the black kids. I could scarcely believe my eyes. This is not uncommon either.
Ted cox thats crazy
we are gods chosen people. therefore everyone hates us.
U have a point
+ABD89 ' you need to take that up with whites, don't use that to deter from blacks. take it somewhere else. blacks are not foreigners
To all that are ignorant, this is why NFL players kneel when the national anthem is played. Support our troops!
Jock Strap An anthem is a call to patriotism. But it is stupid to be in any one way love affair, much less devoted to something bent on your demise.
Jock Strap
Only the ignorant wouldn't know that the NFL itself has a hand in all this madness
yeah stand up and kiss the flag, standing up! that will show your gratitude to the military!
douglas ferguson Show gratitude to a military that put Blacks intentionally on the front line during the Vietnam War and it resulted in 68% of the soldiers killed being Black not only while they killed MLKing for speaking out about it. But then finally erecting a statue that had the Black soldier standing in back of the White and Hispanic soldiers.
Jock strap, u are obviously not aware that our national anthem is steeped in racism and oppression. We don’t sing the other stanzas to this theme that exposes its oppressive and racists stints
Just imagine, shits so corrupt the judge dismissed it !!
And cops wonder why the Dallas Shooting happen.
Stop victim blaming.
no
+vorsye she's not. she's simply stating that for every action there is a reaction
+vorsye .....
+vorsye for one....I never said that. I don't care how a female dresses. rape is rape. for two im not going back and fourth with u in comments. feel however u want to feel on the topic. idgaf. just know ur not helping with that attitude
Last time I was this early Erdogan had control over Turkey.
XD
Poll:
If you could only vote for Clinton or Trump, which would you prefer? www.strawpoll.me/10754892/
u ass!!! u made my day, week and month :'D!!!
#Fuck_Erdogan!!!
+ℛɛᴛʀᴏ ℛɛᴅ its a MILITARY COUP!!!! Turn on the news
The military must have enjoyed that German comedians jokes too much.
This country needs to leave blacks alone alresdy
So much hate
Sounds to me like this cop was doing his job, stopping people who Actually committed an offense in his presence. Not going on phishing expeditions.
#Blacklivesmatter
+Alex Vesterfelt but ALL lives arent being killed during routine police stops.
stop arresting and killing innocent black people!
The Bowser one Exactly
All lives matter is like someone saying all diseases matter, there is always one disease that is more dangerous and need to be taken care of first. My old teacher's friend is a police officer and he even said that race most suffering from police brutality/murders are African-Americans. Black lives matter movement aims to get police officers to be able to handle situations like this without the result of any deaths, also for the victims of these situations to get justice and to stop profiling from the police. This helps all people of minority in general, the only reason its called black lives matter is because we are the ones most affected by this. Its not named that because we believe that black lives are better. The thing about all lives matter is it doesn't focus on the one most affected by this "disease" called police brutality, it focuses on everyone, not addressing the one's in major need most. All lives matter is just like the analogy of the (two houses but one of them is on fire an the guy with one hose is trying to put water on both houses equally leaving the one on fire to burn down because it needed to be focused on more) And please don't bring up more white people die by the police, of course they do because there are way more of them. But the fact is we are affected more than any other race percentage wise.
+KeytheGreatest "my life matters"
we've been saying this for years. Institutional racism and profiling is real.
And y'all use statistics to make valid points on blacks yea ? There's no profiling we're just pulling the race card too much right?
i Crusha you should've put that in all caps...🖒
i Crusha : Only the most delusionally ignorant would think that
He is issuing citations to those he sees committing violations, not to random black males.
We need to arrest more corrupt cops.
Being black in America is living life on difficultly level high
*insane.
It's like a constant marshal law.
+Living Well With TJ STFU
+Living Well With TJ but we're Americans not Africans
+Living Well With TJ Actually I have lived in Africa as a black person. That stress is not there. Sure they don't have lots of stuff but they have PEACE OF MIND.
A lot of respect for this NYPD officer!
I expect TYT will interview him at some point in the future.
everyone should only be arrested if they commit a crime and not because of thier race
hence the national "debate" on whether all lives really matter or just a few.
P Jones it shouldn't be a debate because all lives matter
it shouldn't be but unfortunately it is.
What a horrible world we live in
yup but you go out targeting people by color it shows that there's a system that wants to keep people oppressed
Even though he (the cop) tells him it's everybody committing violations, the chief is still like "why are you targeting people who did something wrong instead of black males?"
...and this is why we need a Black Lives Matter movement.
Michael Birch is one of those guys who you want to promote to police chief instead of that tool pushing arrest quotas. The likes of Birch are loyal, honest, honourable allies of the very people they swore to defend.
Ppl still deny the deck is stacked against black people
This is bad. How do some people sleep at night?
*I love how the minute that tyt puts out a story where cops are targeting black people all the **#AllLivesMatter** people just disappear without a trace lmao*
#AllLivesMatter
The system is broken.
Arkanel Black : It's broken by direct evil intent
the system isn't broken, it was created that way...
That Police Capt. wanted MORE black men behind bars.
America o America. Why this war against the black skin?
The cop who recorded this is a hero.
Cops should be like this guy, only go after people doing something wrong objectively.
This is the sad part. White, Black, Hispanic cops have come out and spoke about the quota system and how its not fair and its wrong and how they basically got blackballed in the police dept because of it.
You gotta be kidding me! These commanding officer need to be fired! If this is not racism then there is no racism in this world!
omel7! I know, but nothing gonna happen to this commanding officer or other offers like him, because they are our beloved US police officers. They can kill unarmed people & easily getaway of any charge by making some silly excuse.
This commanding officer needs to be at least criminally prosecuted for ordering false arrests and harassment, as well as being personally liable in all civil lawsuits filed as a result of his illegal orders!
I am black and Muslim,glad i live in Europe and same time pray for my coloured brothers and sisters
Muse Khadir *Coloured*....and you're Black? Lmao right
If I only targeted people age 60-80 the crime stats for that group will skyrocket overnight. Its sad that so many people are to thick-headed to see that.
Great audio bust, took a lot of courage from this LEO to expose the department's CO! I commend this gentleman!
And people say blacks aren't being targeted by police.
So the one cop who does it right gets in trouble from his supervisor 😡
This is about race
The white man kingdom
Is falling
eric jr Uhhu..... It will be fun/interesting to watch it happen... Their lame fear is palpable .
It's ironic how the people who have perpetuated the most crimes against humanity throughout history are so shameless about accusing their victims of being criminals.
And there it is. Thank you Officer Birch for putting your job and possibly your life on the line to expose this blatant targeting, and a system that seems more interested in meeting quotas and making money, than being honorable and protecting the people.
Here Here... This officer deserves some recognition!
When people...and apparently say "who COMMITS the crimes" what they actually mean is "who have we been CONVICTING of the crimes". Crime, and the perceptions that arise from it, has always been a function of who the police has chosen to detain, arrest, and the legal system is willing to pursue for conviction.
Nypd captain needs to go to jail for telling officer to target black mens
For the rest of his life‼ They should have given his name though‼
Marvin Tookes III he most likely got promoted.
Thank you for standing on REAL values and TRUTH.
can you imagine how many police departments have this same conversation?
Wow, I usually try and justify what the cops do, but this is terrible. I suspected it to some degree, but this should get alot of people fired.
+Dave Diamonddog there has to be a nationwide analysis and infiltration of the Police Departments as a whole if theres gonna be a change in police culture. tapes like this must get out more often
www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/downloads/pdf/analysis_and_planning/year_end_2015_enforcement_report.pdf
Wish statistics like these got out more often.
I'm happy you could admit that Dave. That takes an adult to put down their ego and known reality and understand that "my truth" isn't always necessarily the truth. Much respect to you my friend.
A QUOTA SHOULD BE OUTLAWED AND BE CONSIDERED A CRIME AND PUNISHABLE BY SERVING A 20 YEAR PRISON SENTENCE.
Only trump puppets are Surprised by this !
LOL.....the only people who are surprised by audio like this are people who are not targeted.
Man 1 : "Save the rainforest"
Man 2: "What about all the other trees?"
Man 1 : "I love all trees but right now I'm advocating for the rainforest"
Man 2: "Well.... well... ALL trees matter!!"
Arrest or ticket people that commit the crimes. Period. It doesn't matter what color, race, etc..Whoever is guilty is guilty. Why is there confusion about this? Also, this quota system should be abolished.
It's already illegal so far as I know.
The captain basically was saying arrest only black males. Wtf??
Well done Birch you have honestly and principle. Your so called boss should be ashamed I. Hope he got fired. Deliberately making a mess of families lives for no reason should be a crime
ANNND I would say “wonder why” but people know full well why.. people take a Knee!!!!
douglas ferguson, u are obviously not aware that our national anthem is steeped in racism and oppression. We don’t sing the other stanzas to this theme that would expose its oppressive and racists stints and has nothing to do with our military...plz educate yourself
Did he describe black men as "the bad guys"?
You heard right lol that's fucked
This been going on for ages. One bye one black people are getting very tired of the discrimination. It like they are begging for us to fight back as much as it hurts to say.
told you, get rid of policing for profit. Cops should get paid a fixed amount of money. No more quotas. No financial incentives to give tons of tickets or make tons of arrests. Also, we should have federal laws ONLY. No more state laws. Like in Tennessee or Georgia where it's illegal to spit in front of a woman.
This is so ridiculous, so his commanding officer is upset that he isn't targeting more blacks and hispanics.
How could black males not be the highest in the arrest statistics if the commanding officers order their officers to target them for arrest?
I'm sure this helps keep those statistics exactly where they want them.
^This
Cop: I stopped the people that did crimes. Sargent: Ya but only two were Black men. Cop: Ya? Sargent: So, why aren't you arresting more Black Men? Cop: Because they haven't been committing crimes! Sargent: Why does that matter?
bottom line, if u are not black, u wouldn't understand that this is some real, everyday life shit. check points are never in the suburbs. only in blacks and hispanic areas. crazy.
A huge problem with this. Not only is he pushing to Violate rights of people who have done nothing wrong. He is planning on getting arrests off of people who have done nothing wrong currently. This is like asking passengers for identification when it was the driver who got pulled over. You can be doing nothing wrong at the current time and still go to jail.
I really wanna hear the argument on how this is ok
Its not ok thats the thing, this is bull shit.
The argument will be black comit more crimes per capita. So the cop should be arresting more blacks. If the commander wasn't saying that, they would just say cops aren't racist. It's a lose lose situation.
When whites say its "all in our head". Ill refer them to this tape.
"A house divided against itself cannot stand." -Lincoln
A Black kid get stop, he "fit the description" 5 cops detain him. Meanwhile a psychopath off his meds that doesn't "fit the description" walks by unimpeded, arrives at his destination pulls out a machine gun and kills 20 people. America.
I’m proud of you I’m a police officer you are a good officer
Why isn't this story on all the news channels?
You've just watched a video by one of the only news agencies that would even bother. It doesn't serve the purpose of the mainstream TV agencies in any way, so it's not gonna get carried.
because the majority of people dont want to believe theyre is corruption in society
most people "pop" because they can't afford to pay their tickets. and that's why they get warrants. not because they are criminals. being poor is not a crime .
And this is happening in new York, imagine the conversations in the southern states. Crazy..
Yeah and I live way in the south. New Orleans and the racism is thick in air, been like that. Worst now though
its the same for white people we have a tyrannical government that profits off putting poor black and white people in jail its not a race issue its a tyrannical government. Feels alot like 1776.
This is America
SANFRAN LA But, it doesn't have to be. At some point we have to do what's right by our families, and do what ever it take to prevent these wrong doings. I don't know, is it boycott all businesses and hit there pockets for billions, to get them to wake up and say no more. Just an idea!
A subway cop should stop crimes happening on the subway and in the stations. Transit cops should not be sent out to accuse targeted demographics and hope they can find an existing warrant as an excuse to arrest them. This cop actually highlights a major problem: If you start off targeting a specific group then you're going to artificially increase the number of summonses, citations, convictions, and warrants in that group. It becomes a self-fulfilling cycle where the data proving the group commits more offenses is generated by people instructed to target that group more.
If anyone wants to know what a POLICE STATE looks like
I wish more officers were like Officer Birch. Maybe things wouldn't be as they are.
If your scare of black people, and always paranoid, DONT BE A COP! COMMON SENSE!
How are quotas legal
Bobby Bands : They're not
Don't mind me, I'm just looking through the comments wondering how ANYONE could possibly justify this.
The only thing justified is your beauty.
+0fF+on thank you love 💋
Finally a good cop, and a captain who needs to be fired.
This should surprise no REASONABLE person
Is this the f*cking Minority Report?!
.....its LITERALLY the *Minority* Report
We definitely need more cops like Michael Birch, and I respected him; he is doing his job right. He has the courage to stand up against a corrupted system.
Lol I love the sarcasm guys. Cenk is like why don't u just shut up and let us be racist like we've always been. You guys are doing a wonderful job. Hopefully this cop doesn't turn up dead because how dare he break the blue code of law.
tangee o So, no matter what, huh...? smfh.
How and why would this surprise anyone?! Hold cops accountable.
Proves how low the intelligence is with racists
P.S. love the NY accent
This is what we mean when we talk about systemic racism. We don't mean that cops see a black person and think "hey I don't like black people so I'm going to go harass that person". It's that it's expected that black people are more suspect and cops are taught to only look for them committing crimes.
This is the result of private prisons.
I hope the honest cop succeed in his lawsuit !!!
This is atrocious fire him and address the training of police officers. Disgusting
Why ppl act like this sht is new?
cools cause it never gets old.
not to mention that stop & frisk in NY and anywhere else in the nation is illegal, but black people don't know this. so police can take advantage and break the law to meet quota.
I don't usually leave comments, but I felt I must today..
Your reporting is outstanding IMO, and it's more than satisfying to see you two as animated and pissed off as I myself am! It's a beautiful thing. I'm very sorry you're receiving flak and insults from ignorant people. Oh, and *you* may not hate white people, but this white person (aka me!) can't stand a whole bunch of them! I'm so over and done with whites holding most of the power. The scales are slowly shifting, and that pleases me.
Thanks for all you do at TYT; I wish the TYT team all the best.
Thank you for your honesty and your passion on this issue.
Continue with your great work! It's exposing bad things from happening in the future, sweeping them under the rugs doesn't make America great!
The world is guilty for allowing this to happen and continue. It is wrong and needs to be dealt with.
Leroy Thomas The world is not guilty, Whites are. The problem is the White lawyers, prosecutors, Judges and hand picked White instructed juries that share in this home grown racist mindset and heritage of hate. Like Red against Black ants it seems to be in Whites DNA to be paganistic racist.
James Carter You make sense, a lot of it and thanks for schooling me on this issue.
What constitution??
I SWEAR I LOOOOOVE this man and woman!!! 😂😭😭😭😂 this channel is the 💣!! 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Westend KC it's something about them especially the guy my Spirt tells me -
