He’s gonna wash their mouths out with soap! 
 
 The NYPD’s new deputy commissioner is on a crusade to stop potty-mouthed cops — vowing on Tuesday to keep them from cursing while on duty. 
 
 “It’s all about a New York attitude, New Yorkers like to curse … but you can change. And when we teach them …They will see that they are doing it for effect and they don’t have to do it anymore,” Michael Julian said after being sworn in at police headquarters. 
 
 He added, “We think we can change their behavior.” 
 
 His G-rated mission is tied to civilian complaints — which are often targeted at cops who cuss, Julian said. 
 
 “Thirty percent of all CCRB complaints involve a curse word,” he said. 
 
 Along with tackling F-bombs, he also vowed to target cops who use “unnecessary force.” 
 
 “New York City cops are not brutal. You don’t see the Rodney King type force [but] you see the extra kick and the punch … and they have to get in control of their emotions and the adrenaline,” he said. 
 
 “Chasing someone two blocks [to] take the extra punch, they can control that. We are going to teach them a lot of techniques to change their behavior in that way,” he said. 
 
 New training begins next week, he said. ||||| The man in charge of training every officer in the nation’s largest police department said he can get officers to clean up their language and stop cursing, which will reduce complaints and boost trust between police and local residents. 
 
 A “police officer never uses a curse word in an emergency. Listen to any audio tape. It’s for effect and we can teach them to control their language. It’s not that hard,�? said Michael Julian, the NYPD’s newly appointed deputy commissioner. “Commanders have done it in their own precincts, so, that’s an easy one, the language.�? 
 
 He said "30 percent of all CCRB [Civilian Complaint Review Board] complaints invole a curse word. You can guess which one it is. Thirty percent. And if we can just change that curse word, we can reduce CCRB complaints by 30 percent." 
 
 CCRB statistics show slightly different figures. So far this year, there have been 2,144 allegations of discourteousness toward civilians. That is 54 fewer allegations than were received in 2013, a representing a drop of 2.5 percent." 
 
 Last month, the chairman of the CCRB, Richard Emery, said there was no excuse for police officers to use foul language. Days later, a video surfaced of an NYPD officer allegedly telling a comic to “shut the fuck up�? after an audience member was arrested, allegedly for robbery. 
 
 As for retraining officers in the appropriate use of force, Julian said the problem wasn’t as prevalent as news headlines suggest. 
 
 “New York City cops are not brutal. You don’t see the Rodney King type of force. You see the extra kick or the punch," he said. "And what that’s about is you got to control, over the adrenaline—you chase somebody two blocks, you throw the extra punch. We can control it. 
 
 “We going to teach them a lot of techniques to change their behavior, in that way," he said. "They’re going to welcome that because they want that. They’ve never been taught that. They’ve always been taught the penal law. The way to control force is not teaching them the penal law. The way to control force is to teach them about themselves.�? 
 
 The retraining of NYPD officers in the use of force and street confrontations was ordered in July after Eric Garner, a 43-year-old Staten Island man who was resisting arrest for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes was put into a police chokehold from which he later died.

 The NYPD detective seen on video screaming and cursing at an Uber driver in a roadside tirade earlier this week apologized Friday for his actions, telling NBC 4 New York in an exclusive interview that he hopes to buy the driver dinner. 
 
 "I apologize. I sincerely apologize," said detective Patrick Cherry, whose tirade was captured by one of the car’s passengers and posted on YouTube, where it has been viewed more than 3 million times. 
 
 Cherry’s apology comes after the detective was stripped of his badge and gun and transferred out of the FBI's elite Joint Terrorism Task Force. Police Commissioner Bill Bratton also admonished Cherry after the video went viral online, saying “No good cop can watch that without a wince”, and the NYPD and independent Civilian Complaint Review Board have been investigating the exchange. 
 
 "People shouldn’t be treated that way. I let my emotions get the better of me and I was angry," Cherry said. "My intention was to be courteous and then we got into an argument. There was no intention to berate or hurt deeply the driver." 
 
 NBC 4 New York Exclusive: Interview With Cop in Uber Rant Video 
 
 NBC 4 New York's Jonathan Dienst sat down with the cop who was caught screaming and cursing at an Uber driver in a video that went viral and led to the officer being stripped of his badge. (Published Saturday, April 4, 2015) 
 
 Cherry told NBC4 New York that the video, which shows him cursing at the driver and screaming, “How long have you been in this country?” misses what prompted the confrontation. He said the driver pulled up fast behind him as he was trying to park his unmarked patrol car on a West Village street Monday. The driver was honking and gesturing angrily, Cherry said. 
 
 That was when he turned his emergency lights on to “clarify the problem.” He said the driver then refused to turn over his license and registration, and that’s when Cherry lost his temper. 
 
 "When I walked up, I was uptight. I wanted to know what the problem was," Cherry said. "I felt his driving actions were discourteous and impolite and when he stopped he said, 'I'm not going to give you anything."' 
 
 Sanjay Seth, the Uber passenger who filmed the incident from the back seat, responded to Cherry's account of the altercation in the NBC 4 New York interview, tweeting: "I question part of Detective Cherry's interpretation of the incident in his recent apology." 
 
 "CCRB needs to sort out the facts," Seth said, referring to the Civilian Complaint Review Board. 
 
 Taxi drivers rallied to call for Cherry to apologize; they initially said they didn't want him to lose his job, but hoped the fall-out from the altercation would spur better treatment for cab drivers from the NYPD. 
 
 NYPD Officer in Uber Rant Speaks Out 
 
 It's the viral video that sparked outrage across the city. An Uber passenger recorded a NYPD detective verbally abusing an Uber driver. That detective speaks exclusively to News 4's Chief Investigative Correspondent Jonathan Dienst. (Published Friday, April 3, 2015) 
 
 But the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers on Saturday reversed course, saying Cherry's poor record and lacking apology should get him fired. 
 
 The police union has defended Cherry, saying the reaction to the confrontation overstates its significance. 
 
 On the video, Cherry can be seen apparently imitating the driver’s accent and asking how many years he’s lived in this country. Asked about that, Cherry said race and ethnicity had "nothing to do with it." 
 
 “There’s no reasonable way to determine who is driving facing away from me,” he said. “No reasonable way to determine in a few short seconds where someone skin color race or religion is going to play a factor in something that short.” 
 
 Cherry said that he is willing to take the department’s punishment, and is willing to do whatever is asked of him in his new role. He also says that the three-minute video doesn’t reflect the way he or his fellow men and women in blue carry themselves on a day-to-day basis. 
 
 The incident comes as New York Police officers are being trained in how to engage courteously with the public. Cherry said he feels badly that his behavior will reflect on a department that is working hard on its public image. 
 
 WATCH: Uber Passenger Captures Menacing Rant

 “You can’t judge three minutes of tape that that is the common practice of the New York Police Department,” he said. “At the end of the day it’s simply one individual who got angry."
– The New York Police Department has a new deputy commissioner, and he's already on a mission. Michael Julian intends to cut down cursing among New York's cops, the New York Post reports. One reason for that: 30% of complaints against cops "involve a curse word," Julian says. "It’s all about a New York attitude. New Yorkers like to curse," he notes. "But you can change. And when we teach them …They will see that they are doing it for effect and they don’t have to do it anymore." Julian, who's the head of police training, says ending cursing is "not that hard," Capital New York reports. "Commanders have done it in their own precincts, so that’s an easy one, the language." Julian is also fighting to reduce the use of "unnecessary force," he says. "New York City cops are not brutal. You don’t see the Rodney-King-type force, (but) you see the extra kick and the punch," he notes. "They have to get in control of their emotions and the adrenaline."
