NYPD Cops Are Allegedly Planning to Call Out Sick on July 4th

NYPD cops are being urged to call out sick on the Fourth of July in retaliation over protests against police brutality and growing calls to defund police departments nationwide, reports say and a source confirms to Inside Edition Digital. Flyers being passed around the city's 36,000 officers reportedly say, "Let the city have their independence without cops." But, a spokesperson for the NYPD said that “officers will be here today, tomorrow and on the 4th of July to protect all New Yorkers."
