speaking at a police riot filled with drunk cops at NY City Hall -
[font size="4" face="serif"]Rally Puts Police Under New Scrutiny[/font]
By CATHERINE S. MANEGOLD
Published: September 27, 1992
On Wednesday, Sept. 16, after months of growing tension between Mayor David N. Dinkins and New York City's police, more than 10,000 off-duty officers and their supporters gathered outside City Hall to protest the Dinkins administration's handling of a list of police issues. The demonstration began calmly enough, with a series of predictable chants, songs and demands.
Then something went badly awry.
A handful of people, then hundreds, then thousands, broke through police barricades and surged onto City Hall's steps. From there, the protest degenerated into a beer-swilling, traffic-snarling, epithet-hurling melee that stretched from the Brooklyn Bridge to Murray Street, where several politicians helped stoke the emotional fires.
The protest would have been noteworthy even if it had been any rally gone a bit too wild. But the protesters were the police.

He's been at this for a long long time. Anyone from NYC at the time (or those of us near enough to follow the drama on NYC radio stations that are easily picked up in cities like here in Philly), followed this jackass.
I recall an OP on LBN that declared that due to the police insubordination, it was basically the beginning of the end (in reference to the back-turning NYC cops with de Blasio). But as you see above, a good chunk of them have always been like that for decades, and they feed that behavior into each successive generation of cops there.
