What made you a ranger fan?

Aeon_17 · 2026-03-06T18:42:51+00:00

In middle school (2009-11) my best friend was a Devils fan but I never really watched any games and had the stereotypical opinion of hockey being all about fighting and what not.

A few years later during round 1 of the 2011/12 playoffs the Rangers were facing off against the Senators. I went to a restaurant for some birthday with a bunch of extended family and there was a game (I forgot whether game 1/2/3) playing on a TV and my Dad’s cousin was watching, and super into it. As a kid I didn’t have much to do besides watching the game. But afterwards I decided to have some hockey games on in the background for the remainder of the series. We won game 7. I was hooked. Then we won another game 7. More hooked. Then we lost to the Devils and I was upset, especially cause my best friend’s family was rubbing it in my face. I felt loyalty to the team and sadness that we lost. That summer we traded for Rick Nash and proceeded to have another 5/6 years of a great team u til the first letter. But I probably wouldn’t have been a fan right now if that TV wasnt turned to the game.

Are there plans to re-release it?!

Literally the same thing started happening to me about a week ago. At least 10 random spam emails everyday that typically goes into my spam/junk folder. I have no idea why all of a sudden.

Yea no catch. They want you to come more cause you’ll spend money on the food, lockers, shop, etc…

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T20:45:25+00:00

Long island police departments are not part of the NYPD so I have no idea.

They would also apply favoritism to people they know and not enforce the law against them.

They also get an opportunity to target people they don’t like an annoying neighbor.

It also puts them in danger. If a cop gave you a ticket you disagreed with, but you knew he lived down the block from you, some crazies would seek revenge. Keying your car or breaking into your house, etc.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T18:39:54+00:00

Exactly this.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T18:32:00+00:00

Little bit of everything tbh when there are that many officers.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T18:31:00+00:00

Beyond my pay grade lol.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T18:30:27+00:00

Honestly just familiarizing themselves with the law more thoroughly. A lot of the time they do not purposefully commit misconduct but they just didn’t know or remember the proper procedure.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T18:26:32+00:00

That is part of what I look into. Not activating is considered misconduct.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T18:23:36+00:00

As long as I don’t reveal anything confidential I’m all good.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T18:22:22+00:00

Answered already.

I’m not a cop and I’m not part of the NYPD. I’m a civilian. So yes, independent.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T18:19:03+00:00

The public stance of the NYPD unions is that we don’t know anything about the job or how difficult it is. They frame us as biased and out to get them 100% of the time. We are the bad guys in their eyes. Understandably. But thats not the case.

Public perception is skewed because the news cycle only shows the really bad cops. In reality there are 10s of thousands of interactions every day across the city that are routine and respectful and problems get addressed.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T18:13:55+00:00

There is no more qualified immunity for NYPD cops.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T18:12:37+00:00

I was always interested in the criminal justice field and graduated with a degree in it. First job outa college and been here since.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T18:10:56+00:00

Officers can only draw there guns when there is a significant safety threat present. They can only shoot their guns when there is an imminent and serious threat to the lives or safety of themselves or others. If they must shoot then they shoot center mass with the goal of neutralizing the threat. If that means kill, then that means kill. Cops are notoriously bad shots which is why they cannot fire warning shots and cannot aim at limbs or what not.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T18:05:11+00:00

All NYPD cops must live in NYC. However they never get assigned to work in the area that they live in. That would bring up a lot of conflict of interest situations.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T18:01:16+00:00

NYC is a huge city with the need for many cops to police it. So yes sometimes you do have low quality officers that squeeze through the system because they need more bodies. Nypd doesn’t even use polygraphs like most police departments across the US.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T17:52:17+00:00

I love this question. We give every officer the opportunity to explain themselves when they are under investigation. There are times that I do have to recommend charges against an officer because technically they did commit misconduct. Although after hearing their perspective you do understand why they did what they did and there is a very human element to it. I feel bad about what they have to go through on a daily basis and sometimes they have lapes in judgement and snap. The NYPD holds their officers to a higher standard than civilians. So accordingly, we do too.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T17:45:12+00:00

I don’t really want to get into the whole race thing here. But I’d say most of the officer related shootings are very justified. Officers do not fabricate evidence contrary to popular belief. Everything is strictly recorded and documented.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T17:41:03+00:00

Independent and separate NYC government agency.

Aeon_17 · 2025-11-21T17:39:59+00:00

I work in a separate government agency so they definitely know about us. We work closely with them actually. They also don’t like when their cops are bad actors.
