Complaints =/= Crime

The subway has millions of riders in a day. One hundred and fifty complaints per precinct (which is a generous estimation) is nothing, and the NYPD is a failure of an organization that pays over half a hundred million dollars a year on misconduct lawsuits. NYPD officers have a higher crime rate than the people of New York.

That says more about the people in charge of the department than the officers, though I'd also bet that the crime rate isn't that bad in the subways.
