How do NYers feel about NYPD Lowering(?!) the education requirements to be a cop?

Just what our city needs, eh? An even Dumber set of NYPD recruits?

Free, unlocked NY Times article “N.Y.P.D. Lowers Education Standards as Recruitment Falters”

Jillian Snider, a former police officer and a lecturer at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said “A more educated officer is more likely to have “better verbal communication skills,” Ms. Snider said. “That makes you more likely to use de-escalation techniques instead of using force.”

This does not bode well for NYC as a whole, nor for anyone who may have reason to interact with NYPD.
