John the cop is my grandpa!
He is alive and well and very appreciative of the kind words 😊🤍
Hi! I would love to talk with him for my podcast, we’re doing a show on him. It’s called Profiles In Eccentricity❤
I remember John the cop from the early 70's.He was a fair cop that cared for the community.There a very few cops like him then and even now.He was fearless with much cojones.I salute John God bless you.
I remember John The Cop. I officially only met him face to face once. I had a friend who went to his Karate school. And he always hung out in my Junior High School. Dewey, JHS 136. One time three kids jumped me at school and my Mom went down. I was taken out of my class and brought to the Dean's office and there was The Dean, My Mom, and John the cop. There he was with his shoes off, but had such a presence. He sent me out into the street with two big ass guys to look for the Punk who, him and his two friends beat me up. I was 12 then, but 52 now, but I do believe if we found that Guy, John would have done something to him. And he told my Mom I could go to his school for nothing. I never did go but thought that was so nice of him. Thanks John! P.S. - Would love to know how John is doing now.
Wow your 56 now you must have a lot of stories how did you meet your wife?
My husband was from sunset park when he was a kid - born and raised. He told me how John, back in the late 70"s had offered him an opportunity to get free karate lessons just to get him off the streets. My husband was not a bad guy, but he was young, lived with his mother on 44th St btw 5th and 6th, right across the street from the park and he was influenced by his environment. The gangs were in full effect and had their influence on the youth - my husband was no exception. My husband would visit the karate school on the ave because he admired the arts, and to this day so much appreciated what John offered. Although my husband, Angel (for those who know him) did not join the school, he was so impacted by John's influence and genuine care for the youth that he, my husband never did join the gangs, and today despite his upbringing (not so good) is a successful man in his own right. THANK YOU JOHN. I do not know John, but because of the stories that my husband has told me about John and the neighborhood - I would love to see a movie. #JOHNTHE COP-SUNSETPARKMOVIE
Back then my nickname was Kool, I remember all the gangs, especially the Turban Saints they hanged out where I lived 43rd and 8th. I had many friends that attended the Dojo and they all praised John the Cop.
The gang now hangs out in front of that building on 42nd and 9th.
My old sensei, Toughest mother I ever had the pleasure to spar against. He made a difference in my life. Thank you.
GREAT FILM. I WAS A STUDENT IN 70/80'S WHEN GANG LIFE WAS PART OF GROWING UP IN SUNSET. ZEROTG/49ER.
As a teenager in Sunset Park in the early 70s, I recall the Brooklyn Brothers, the Turbans, the Saints (my recollection is that the Turbans and Saints eventually merged), the Czars, and the MC club, the 69ers. There were other groups that did not wear colors --- groups in Sunset Park (44th & 6th), 42nd and 5th, 45th and 4th, and 47th and 5th. I do recall hearing, at some point, that John the Cop, who I do not recall meeting, had a karate school on 46th St and that he cared about the guys in the neighborhood. I remember thinking back then, John the Cop, old school -- good. The short film is a testament to one man's life in service to others -- making his piece of the world a better place. Well done.
I grew up in Sunset Park and John was always walking the neighborhood and he would talk to me and my friends when we hung out in sunset park and give us good advice and guidance. We were always invited to his Dojo and some did take him up on that offer and those who did became great fighters. I remember the shooting and the kid that died. Miguel from La Familia always protected me.
My old sensei from the 80's!
John, Bless your heart. My pops would help any one around the 40 PCT. He got on aug 1970 till 1987. Great stories..And one hell of a partner !! GOOD GUYS doing Good Things everyday on your tour.At this time i am looking at his old leather. Carry on Skipper! AND IT SAYS I WORK FOR THE CITY OF NEW YORK ! RIGHT HERE
!
My father received a black belt from this man, a living legend.
Always talked with John, he'd stop when he passed my store(Music Center, 48th & 5th). He was full of himself, but he did care and did a lot of good in the neighborhood. Saw a guy challenge him once in the park, John was cool enough to not beat the guy senseless. That takes control.
I worked with john 1974 to 1978 72 precinct great guy always listen to what here said made lots of sense I was only 19 teen other offices didnt like john probably jealous thanks john treating me with repect.
Well to my amazement my brother is in this short video. He is the one on the right side of the screen at 35-39 seconds. He was in the gang known has the "all together" Vice President. To funny to find him in this video.
I remember John the cop when I lived in sunset park, many yrs ago.He was a tuff but fair cop and seemed to care about the community he served him.He was one of kind a real good cop.
I grew up in Sunset Park in the 80's it was a tough neighborhood.
The Golden Eagle. A legend. I remember Miguel from La Familia, he was locked up after that kid was killed.
John The Cop very good man. He's 1Cop that had more balls than a whole task force put together. Mlr johnny whiteboy
Wow...I remember when the 8 year old child was killed during the cross-fire. He was in my grade and went to my school and I still remember the announcement that came over the PA system.
Me too i was norn in 73..
55th between 5th and 6th...
Kid went to ps94
You went to MS 136 and you’re 37-years-old, right?
Damn nice to see sunset park during the 1980s shit I came to nyc wen I was turning 5 years old in 89 shit was crazy in sunset park
John the Cop was there for the community I grew up and was raised in Sunset was there when Familia, Assassinators, Turban Saints, 69ers, FMD's and all the rest was around he always treated everyone with respect first and was only an asshole when your hand called for it. He would take some of the kids to his Dojo and let them learn for free or give them discounts if they couldn't continue to pay I could name a few of the one that where in that video. There is a website that you can post in and they fund your project with donations. Look into it and I would help promote it and would even donate myself. Now in Florida but still love Sunset still have family there. 51st one.
Thanks to john I wasnt in a gang I grew up in sunset and went to school with a lot of the gang members I walk into the dojo one day just to watch the class and he said to me do you want to join and I replied I can't afford it he said to me bring me your report card if you do well you don't have to pay on the weekend he would take the students to the movies Chinese food or pizza a few years later I became a black belt that's just some of the things that he did for the students I'll tell you another thing if you attended his karate school none of the gangs would fuck with you I was school was known for fighters john was a no nonsense guy that's my take on John the cop yours truly Bobby aka 2Rob 45& 5 ave .
Sunset Park History 😊
Nice work on this!
I trained with Kyoshi at the 65st school.
Big influence in my life!
Kar-Do-Jitsu-Ryu Was a unique name.
I always liked John, I knew many of his students.
Now, when I walk thru SP, I wanna throw up.
I miss the days of buying "Minis" at Margolis, Slices at GINOS, jeans at Kagans, Knives at Frankels.
As a kid, I always associated john the cop, with James Caan. At times, John use to give me a lift with his cougar.
Just spoke to Mr John he’s a very sweet man, he care a lot about animals and children. I really enjoyed our conversation and it’s amazing to see what impact you have had on those around you. We are here to impact one another as you have today sir thank you.
Its incredible I'm just seeing and yeah hes a legend.
You know who also I see in picture that's a hero.
T.A.. wimbat.

Incredible Footage Including A Photo From My Forum.....Wow!
I love this guy.

Johnny's pizzeria 🍕💯
Damn!!!! I remember John The Cop from my years at Dewey ( 74-76) That fucker used to harass me every time he saw me hanging out. Then again, I was in the wrong for the shit I use to do as a kid. Now as an adult, I gotta say, much respect to him. He was an ass, but if you gave him respect, you got it in return.

The pizza guy talking about the two s,was probably refferimg to Chino and his brother,who were with Crazy George from 49 St.
Then Jiu Jitsu came along and now nobody cares.
Sunset park! Wow... I remember the cop that killed the pregnant lady and her baby under the BQE back in the 90s...

There's only one guy who could have played this guy JAMES CAAN will never happen now. These characters don't exist anymore.
This is after my time, but fascinating. Is John Manniel still around?
