NYPD Blue Lies: The Shocking True Story of Racism, Corruption, Cover-Ups and Murder in the NYPD

---

I recommend this book to anyone who has law enforcement aspirations, a desire to learn about City Politics or an interest in Civil Rights issues in policing. A real page turner; finished the book in 3 days. This book gives you an inside scoop of the everyday pressure not only with the public but within the four walls of the station houses.

Love the chapter with the Hostage. A committee on Police, etc. The committee directed their principal attention tot he organization of the Watch. The adoption of the new draft of the law, accompanying the report, was recommended, which, when carried out, it was claimed, would introduce regulation and order, "where before very little of those characteristics existed;" dismissed Watchmen would no longer be able, after having neglected their duty, to find employment in another district; and the rules by which Captains of the Watch discharged their duties, would not be as diverse as the respective watch-houses the occupied.

The change proposed buy the committee had, it was alleged, the additional merit of economy, by effecting a saving of twenty thousand dollars annually to the city, while the committee were confident that the Watch department would be better organized, and more effective than the system it was designed to supplant. The charter had given full power to the Mayor to appoint any number of Marshals. By act of the legislature, April 8, , this power was limited to the number of sixty, and subsequently to one hundred.

The committee claimed that the necessity constantly arising from the increase of population and business demonstrated the propriety of the Common Council possessing the power to fix on the number of those officers, so as to be appointed by the mayor from time to time. It seemed equally just, three committee were of opinion, that the Mayor should have power to appoint Special Constables, competent to arrest offenders and preserve the public peace.

It was also deemed necessary o add to the number of Special Justices for preserving the peace. The Common council, it was asserted, should have been vested with this power.

Sipowitz shows promise as a Method actor as they work to get the suspect off his insanity act. Russell and Medavoy work the shooting of a surgeon in a mugging outside his personal assistant's apartment building, fending off the surgeon's obnoxious bitch of a wife and cracking the case.

Adrienne asks advice from Donna about her and James' "big night", about which everyone in the squad seems to know. They have a nice night, but it later seems Adrienne has some issues with being clingy. When an NYU professor is found dead, decapitated in his apartment, the doorman tells Sipowitz and Simone that the professor had a predilection for hustler types of color, hispanic or black.

When they tell his mother of the murder, she is strangely detached and distant, and more concerned with getting their car back. Porn starlet Vanessa Del Rio shows up at the squad for assistance with harassing phone calls she's been getting, delighting James and his friend Manny and once again irritating Adrienne. The news turns out to be not too bad: When a young girl is raped and thrown off the roof of the building she lives in, Det. Martina Escobar comes to work with the 15th on the case, as she is already working on a similar one, where the girl survived.

Sipowicz is less than thrilled about working with her as he believes she "stole" his promotion the year he got "screwed" out of his.
