He’s saying what we’re thinking. “Head of the Crass”<\/a>:<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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:<\/p>\n

The letters vary somewhat in their description of Nelson’s alleged comments.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then there’s a third explanation:<\/p>\n

NYPD 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.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
