Kudos to these cops, firefighters, and fellow first responders on lighting up the night for their young fans at Golisano Children's Hospital in Rochester, NY. The annual Good Night Lights brings smiles to the faces of so many.

Thank you ex-NYPD hostage negotiatior @Columbia research psychologist Jeff Thompson for listing the #1 skill to have: “empathy, understanding somebody's perspective, what are they thinking, what are they feeling,  that helps you understand, why are they doing what they're doing”.

Good luck to @NYPDnews & @FDNY and a special thanks to @afspnational for working with both teams to #StopSuicide. Earlier in the week both teams attended an AFSP sponsored workshop in partnership with @ColumbiaPsych.

Just as I predicted in my earlier ‘Kudos’ tweet congratulating the NYPD on this initiative, the progressive left woke anti-cop forces, led by the ACLU are attacking this technology and that of ShotSpotter with their bogus and unfounded racial justice discrimination and disparity claims. What they never acknowledge is the racial disparity in the number of victims and perpetrators. Compliments to the NYPD on their support of both technologies that don't discriminate and save lives in high crime neighborhoods. nydailynews.com/2024/05/17/n…

The NYPD is unafraid to say it. We are proud to be American. We are proud to protect New York City and uphold our nation’s sacred principles of freedom, justice and democracy. It’s what defines the American spirit. We will always defend everyone’s right to free speech while ensuring public safety in the greatest city in the world. 🇺🇸 @NYCMayor @NYPDPC @NYPD1stDep @NYPDChiefOfDept @NYPDChiefPatrol @NYPDnews

Tonight this city lost a hero, a wife lost her husband, and a young child lost their father. We struggle to find the words to express the tragedy of losing one of our own. The work that Police Officer Jonathan Diller did each day to make this city a safer place will NEVER be forgotten. Our prayers are with his family, loved ones, and brothers and sisters in blue.

Make no mistake about it, your cops are doing their job! Now it’s up to the rest of the criminal justice system to do theirs. On Monday, Transit cops arrested a 38-year-old career criminal after he forcibly robbed a straphanger of his cellphone in Manhattan. He was released without bail. Today, just 4 days later, this same perp was arrested AGAIN by Transit cops — this time for attempting to rob another subway rider at knifepoint in Manhattan. New Yorkers deserve better.

Great job by our officers. Of course the video doesn’t show the individual jumping the turnstile right in front of the officers and refusing multiple requests for identification. This type of lawlessness is exactly what New Yorkers are tired of in our transit system.

Our office has reached out to NYPD Transit District 30 about this cruel incident on the 7th Avenue F/G Station. This sort of violent broken windows policing does nothing to keep us safe. Assaulting someone for skipping a turnstile is an abuse of power by the NYPD.

I gave a veteran police officer on patrol a chance to reflect on resilience in the ordinary. They talked about a buttercup. Really. New research via @JournalCSWB ⬇️ #NarrativeMedicine #NarrativePsychology linkedin.com/posts/jeff-thom…
