2020 February NYPD 10-13 CLUB of Broward An organization of retired New York City Police Officers February 2020 THE BLOTTER Next General Meeting Tuesday, February 04th, 2020 Moose Lodge Family Center 6191 Rock Island Rd, Tamarac Meeting starts at 7:00 PM Sharp PRESIDENT The President’s Message Martin Finkelstein VICE PRESIDENT Your Feb. 4th meeting will feature 3 sponsors providing you with Daniel Farrell invaluable products or knowledge. We still have issues with our SECRETARY membership talking and/or detracting from the sponsors’ Christine McIntyre presentations. Your board suggests that each table should have a TREASURER table “intermediary” to remind the table to either stop chatter or Dennis Lydting go out of the room to continue. Members and sponsors deserve SERGEANT-AT-ARMS the ability to hear and be heard. Thanks, AGAIN, to Mel Shapiro for continuing the labor of coordinating so many sponsors and Thomas Puglisi providers. This is your club and it requires dues and DIRECTORS sponsorships to continue feeding meeting attendees and Alan Berkowitz perpetuating the police car and honor guard. Recently, a former member sniped at your club Ryan Dean for not providing your police car and your honor guard for a deceased retiree who hadn’t Tim Kennedy belonged to Broward, Palm Beach nor the 3100. Additionally, the funeral was in central Palm Warren Ostrofsky Beach County, we were given only 2 days’ notice and the former member, not the decedent’s Joe Scimeca family, called the wrong board rep, who provided proper info anyway. He decided to launch a Phil Valles smear campaign on the internet, including pages and blogs. He even stooped to sign the CHAPLAINS smear with the name of a former Florida sheriff (who denied even knowing about the Chaplain Ray Smith decedent or the funeral). Membership voted, at previous meetings, against the use of your clubs’ assets and financial costs to serve those refusing to support and join you, the LEGAL membership. We will revisit the vote. Sometimes there isn’t time to coordinate funeral Michelle Gomez, Esq. responses. Most board members and honor guard work full time jobs. Committees: On a sad note: brother Lou Shlifstein passed away, just before his 107th birthday. We EDITOR celebrated Lou and passed along recognition from NYPD SBA at our Feb meeting back in Warren Sam 2014. Some highlights of that are reprinted in this Blotter along with recognitions of Lou’s HONOR GUARD service in NY. Lou was fortunate to be in great senior care, but all are not always in such Joseph Scimeca care. Deteriorating health, malnutrition, lack of shelter, fear, depression, senility, isolation, PROMOTIONS boredom, non-productivity, and financial incapacity are the most common problems that Alan Berkowitz senior citizens all over the world face today. Tom Puglisi Our club and the sponsors can share info that might help the rest of us. Send us Tom Puglisi, Jr. important information and resources, so that we might share it with all. Support 10-13 by MEMBERSHIP contributions, volunteering your time and enlisting members. Attend meetings and help one Ryan Dean another. Let’s all perpetuate this great organization. We have a great meeting arrangement at Moose Lodge. We owe the Moose thanks and consideration by clearing the tables and putting chairs under tables after meetings. We’re COMMUNICATIONS getting better…keep it up. Many thanks to our board and committees, our honor guard, Phil Valles sponsors, political partners, affiliate organizations, you the members, our families. Best Website wishes and prayers for better health days ahead to brother Alan Berkowitz for continuing to Ryan Dean provide work and attend meetings, throughout his battle with health issues and several 50 / 50 Raffle surgeries. The guy is unstoppable. Also, a special thanks to Chaplain Ray Smith for all the Annette Finkelstein continuing ”10-13ing”. - MARTIN 1 of 31 Your Broward Board, Police & City Numbers Martin Finkelstein, Pres. 954-977-3880 PBA NY Office 1-212-233-5531 Dan Farrell, VP. 954-871-7000 DEA NY Office 1-212-587-9120 Christine McIntyre, Sec. 561-703-0349 PBA Toll free 1-877-844-5842 Dennis Lydting, Treas. 954-973-3083 SBA 1-212-226-2180 Thomas Puglisi, Sgt.

So either we forgot how to police New York City, or there’s a correlation,” Shea told reporters in reference to the new laws. “If you let out individuals that commit a lot of crime, that’s precision policing in reverse and we’re seeing the effects in a very quick time, and that is why we’re so concerned.” The new law has stopped a slew of non-violent offenses from being bail eligible, allowing criminals to walk free after committing robberies, burglaries and other offenses. Since 2020 began, as of Friday at midnight, robberies are up 32.5 percent, car theft is up 61 percent and burglaries are up 18 percent compared to the same time period last year. And the numbers aren’t fractions either — a total of 233 more robberies have happened this year compared to last, 159 more car thefts and 125 more burglaries, just in the last three weeks. Ridiculous reform forces NYPD to ask feds to catch serial NYC bank robber “People say it just took effect you can’t have consequences already. Take a look at the comp stat,” Shea railed. “We’re seeing it immediately at the same time that you have [state and local jail] populations dropping significantly,” the new commissioner went on. “Now don’t tell me there’s not a correlation to that.” Shea went to Albany this week to talk to lawmakers about his concerns, which he said were two pronged. The first issue is repeat offenders being let out over and over again but the second issue is the state’s new discovery laws, which require prosecutors to turn over all of their evidence, plus the contact information of witnesses and victims, within 15 days of an arrest. “The second piece is going to take longer and then it’s going to be a one two punch as discovery takes hold,” Shea said. “Discovery is going to change how crimes are prosecuted in New York.” 6 of 31 While the new discovery law was created to ensure the accused aren’t seeing the evidence against them “until the eve of trial,” “swinging it back 180 degrees the other way and giving everything over immediately is equally wrong,” Shea said. “When you have instances where witnesses and victims will be afraid to call the police, that is a real problem and that needs to be fixed… this is something that affects all New Yorkers.” Cuomo again supports change to new bail law, but gives no specifics Prosecutors are already grappling with how to protect the privacy of victims and witnesses and are trying to figure out how they can do that under the new laws, The Post learned at a recent conference for New York State prosecutors.

  • Revue De Presse
    REVUE DE PRESSE Popeye, un policier sans états d'âme, traque un puissant trafiquant de drogue, M. Charnier (sic). Perquisitions, filatures... En remontant la filière française, la plaque tournante est localisée : Marseille. Inspiré d'un fait divers authentique survenu en 1962, French Connection a démythifié d'un coup tous les films policiers. Son morceau de bravoure : la longue course-poursuite entre une voiture... et une rame de métro aérien dont le conducteur est obligé de brûler les feux ! Très spectaculaire, la scène révèle l'acharnement, aux limites de l'absurde, du policier. L'action, ici, fait partie intégrante du caractère fruste des personnages. La violence ne peut se dissocier du côté exalté du policier, qui réagit viscéralement aux injustices de son métier. Popeye jubile dans des situations inquiétantes ! La mise en scène alterne les séquences de reportage et de brusques explosions de sauvagerie. En laissant les commandes à un jeune réalisateur, le producteur de Bullitt et le scénariste de Shaft (Les Nuits rouges de Harlem) ont fait le bon choix. C'était le cinquième film de William Friedkin, qui, à 36 ans, a remporté un triomphe international, confirmé par le suivant, L'Exorciste. Depuis, le cinéaste a livré, entre deux commandes, des films à l'ambiguïté et à la noirceur très peu hollywoodiennes, comme Police fédérale, Los Angeles, le dérangeant Bug ou, plus récemment, le percutant Killer Joe. On trouve ici les fondements de cet univers où le bien et le mal coexistent de façon troublante. Philippe Piazzo Gros bonnet marseillais, grosses voitures américaines et grosses transactions d’héroïne en vue… Un film américain de choc flaire ce gros coup, secoue ses indics et multiplie les filatures.

It challenges many of the assumptions underlying prevailing accounts of the period, including the makeup of the orthodox “canon” of New Hollywood movies, the time frame within which the movies were contained, and the role played by the critical establishment in determining the ways in which the movies of the period were understood. Bringing together industrial context, textual analysis and critical (re)interpretation, it examines the complex interplay of factors that allowed a movie such as Easy Rider to achieve commercial and canonical success, while so many of its contemporaries and imitators failed to make an impact, either at the box office or within the annals of film history.
