New York City police lost its first detective to Covid-19, marking the third NYPD death to the disease that has afflicted the department.
Detective Cedric Dickson, a 23-year veteran, worked in the 32nd Precinct in Harlem, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said. The detective was in his 40s and had underlying health conditions, multiple law enforcement officials said. Shea did not provide details on the officer’s health history.
“May we never forget the sacrifice of those workers who put themselves in harm’s way to keep you and your family safe,” the police chief said.
Two other members of the department have died from coronavirus, which has infected at least 512 NYPD employees.

My rebbe says this will passover next week. Maybe he knows something.
“Underlying health conditions” since he ate donuts everyday.
So why is Mayor DeBlasio recklessly sending out officers to give parking tickets to expired meters? If you go out now on Avenue J or Coney Island Avenue, you will see them like leeches looking at every vehicle, perhaps an expired inspection sticker. Perhaps an expired Registration sticker. No parking zone. Why is the Mayor endangering these low level, entry position employees??? Is giving a taxpayer a parking ticket considered “essential”??? The blood of the dead officers is on DeBlasio’s hands!
