NYPD HISTORICAL NOTE: I'm running a little late today, so I can't do justice to the story in today's newsletter. You'll read about it tomorrow.
But delayed notifications have always served a useful function on the NYPD. It's called the, “I know nothing” syndrome. So don't look at me; I didn't have anything to do with what happened.
For a best case in point, I'm going to use the story of when NYPD Chief of Detectives William W. McLaughlin's sister blew away her husband's lover in the qoumada's residence, a brownstone, on East 86th Street in Manhattan in 1893.
She then walked into the 23 Precinct on East 88th Street, admitted to murdering the women, and attempted to eat the gun in front of the desk officer. BTW the mistress - who she blew away - her husband was a patrolman who worked in that command and was present in the station house at the time.
Great story, you'll have to wait till tomorrow to get the juicy details. It all revolves around William McLaughlin denial of being notified, and claiming that he knew nothing of the murder for hours. Of course he also denied that his sister got any special treatment. Hint, his sister did.
It has to be noted here, that McLaughlin was Thomas Byrnes closest friend and protégé. At the time of the murder, Thomas Byrnes was the “Superintendent of Police.” (Today's rank of “Chief of Department”) McLaughlin was also rumored to be the richest man on the department. He wasn't, Byrnes was. Later the ‘Chief of Detectives’ would join his sister in jail. He was indicted, arrested and convicted of extortion and bribe receiving. - Mike Bosak
Note from Suzannah -- Ray Kelly took free rides air Bloomberg when he is not allowed to take a free cup of coffee.
My case for me proof NYPD can't police the police. Time for Permenant outside Monitor.
