Bitches
He’s saying what we’re thinking. “Head of the Crass”:
The head of the NYPD’s School Safety Division is under fire from school security officers who charge that he called elementary school parents “bitches” who “need to be body-slammed.”
In grievance letters to their union obtained by The Post, officers claim that Chief Gerald Nelson, an NYPD official, made the shocking remarks to 850 agents at a training session last month during the mid-winter break.
To be sure, it’s not entirely clear what he said — or whether the union is just trying to screw him over — but it seems like whatever it was probably falls somewhere in between the following:
The letters vary somewhat in their description of Nelson’s alleged comments.
Some state that he said unruly parents should be manhandled into submission, while others claim Nelson made the remarks as he commended an agent for showing restraint with out-of-control parents.
“Chief Nelson was asked a question about the lack of security in the . . . schools when the chief made a statement that the parents of the students are bitches and he gives us credit for not knocking these bitches down,” one agent wrote.
Another officer wrote that Nelson said elementary-school agents had the toughest job “because they had to deal with mothers in the elementary schools that are real bitches . . . [who] need to be body-slammed down to the ground, cuffed and arrested.”
Then there’s a third explanation:
Posted: March 8th, 2005 | Filed under: CitywideNYPD spokesman Paul Browne, speaking on behalf of Nelson, said, the two-star chief “recalls congratulating a school safety agent for dealing with an unruly adult, but not in the language described in the letters. We are looking into the matter.”
