Adrian Schoolcraft wanted money and he got it, according to the Post.
Schoolcraft wasn’t the first to point out that the NYPD was under intense (and illegal) quota pressure. He’s just, as I wrote.
The only one, in my humble opinion, who has tried to martyr himself and turn number fudging into a tidy personal $50 million profit. He and his father have tried twice before to sue police departments for money. Maybe the third time is the charm.
It was.

He might have made more money by going along with being EDP'd. He could have said "You're right – I'm crazy – the job did it to me," then gone out on the medical for what, 66 2/3 %? Much more money in the long run….
(and I mean 'said' as shorthand for 'responding the right way to the doctors so they diagnose him accordingly' – obviously, if you say you're crazy, you're not – kind of like if you say you can't breathe….)
