Good afternoon to all...
NYPD has throughout its history attempted to maintain good community relations. In general, it has been successful. I suspect further that it has been successful even in the last several months. The reasons have finally become clear. Besides having loyal and dedicated police officers, support staff, and up until recently, support from the city government, NYPD has also brought good theatre to the City of New York.
We observe such a commitment to theatre in the following screen shot.
Please note what I have highlighted. Above and beyond the obligation to serve and protect, above and beyond maintaining good community relations, above and beyond the selfless willingness to pay the ultimate price in the service of the good people of New York (and the others), it appears that NYPD has a vaudeville actor on staff. Sadly, it also appears that Mr. Chaplin is subject to the same challenges that many other New Yorkers face these days.
And more seriously, having initially seen this in the New York Post, the incident involved the chaplain. There was no vaudeville. Rav Jen and I happen to know Rabbi Kass. He is a senior colleague, and has been with NYPD for as long as I can remember. It appears he was injured very lightly.
To the nice folks at Fox, spelling counts.
Have a good day everyone.
