Cops Fighting Cops: Inside the NYPD’s Fight Club

The NYPD has a long tradition of holding Smokers, “Fight Club” style events that date back to an earlier time in New York City’s police culture. The fights are held in an effort to maintain morale while also squashing beefs and petty feuds between cops. VICE follows Dave Siev, an NYPD Lieutenant on the cusp of retirement, as he organizes Fight Night at Madison Square Garden. Siev has been spearheading Smokers for the NYPD since the 90s. During the day he protects and serves as one of NYC’s finest; when off the clock, he organizes matches and fights amongst his cadets and sergeants. VICE was along to witness fights including a rivalry among two neighboring precincts, and some unfinished business between two cops on the same force.
