The sudden passing of Probationary Police Officer Edgar Ordonez has filled this department with sadness, and has left a void in our hearts. This afternoon, fellow recruits, officers, & members of the public lined up for his dignified transfer in a solemn tribute to this young officer.
Look at how this place disrespects the men who put their lives on the line to preserve public safety, by forbidding them to use appropriate force.
The moment a suspect resists arrest, he needs to be compelled to comply.
There is never moment of hesitation by NYPD officers to put the safety of others ahead of their own — even with a train barreling down. Kudos to these great cops for saving a man who fell onto the subway tracks after a medical episode. We’re lucky to count them as New York’s Finest!
