Turtle:
Given the composition of the NYPD it is very possible that the officer who made that statement is not a non-Hispanic White officer. If they were a patrol officer it is likely.
NYPD Police Officers (cops on the street) by race:
non-Hispanic White 43.6%
Black 15.7%
Hispanic 31.1%
Asian 9.6%
Other 0.1%
As an anecdote, the district where I was a firefighter medic had a lot of Hispanic families but only three Black families out of about 500 families total. One of the Black residents of our district was a retired cop. I can just imagine what Jim would have said about such an attack, but if I posted it the moderator would remove this post. Not everything is about race.
