Costing the city $1.5 Million for his bad conduct, over 50 substantiated incidents of bad conduct and he was promoted and allowed to retire without a word against him by the NYPD or the city as a whole. When the conservatives on this sub start demanding that cops like these be held accountable, then I’ll start believing their complaints against people being released after 50 arrests are being made in good faith.

I am sick of losers like this bum flushing taxpayer money down the toilet. That money could've been used to benefit the entire community. Instead it has to be wasted on an asshole that doesn't know how to do their job and likes to cosplay as a Gravy Seal.
And look at these other tax gobbling shitbirds.
What good is a cop that's been Brady listed? A cop that can't even be counted on to testify is worthless. What good are any arrests they make if they're considered so untrustworthy prosecutors can't even rely on them.
I feel terrible for the good cops forced to work with these sack of shit bad cops. No one should have to count on these guys for anything. They're a disgrace and a danger to other officers.

They won’t even fire cops that have been caught committing perjury on the stand. The commissioner just let 2 cops off with a slap on the wrist for lying on the stand saying they hadn’t received appropriate training. Cops have to be trained not to lie under oath? That’s the shit the public is dealing with.

At a political trial I once went to watch, I saw a cop lie on the witness stand, after having also lied on a police report. He lied very blatantly, over and over again, and experienced no repercussions, though the judge did start to seem mildly annoyed after a while. Later I met up with a defense attorney I have known since childhood, and told him I had seen a cop lie on the witness stand. He told me that around here that is pretty much standard procedure.

Guys like this don’t get to commit this level of stupidity unless they are being protected/directed by someone way higher up the food chain. “Do whatever you have to do, you’ll be fine.” I hate career opportunists.

4 hours in and this post only has 7 comments as I'm writing this.
If it was a ny post article talking about nyc crime, there'd be dozens of comments complaining about that very same thing you cite. They don't care about cops like this. Cause they probably think cops like this are "on their side."

Article doesn't make clear if arrests were justified or not(false arrests, cop planted evidence on victim etc). Excessive force is able to be excused away by saying he was apprehended violent criminals who were resisting and even knocking out cops which the article supports his statements. Article is a little odd as it seems to provide more evidence to defend/justify his position

Excessive force is not appropriate or justifiable regardless of who is being arrested or why (that is literally the distinction between excessive and justified force). Using excessive force when the arrest isn't justified in the first place just means he committed two crimes instead of one.

He was implying that if the accused is violent(or in the examples he gave shrugged off a taser and still knocked out a cop) people will ivory tower judge cops for protecting themselves. So if an accused is knocking out cops you can't expect someone to take punches until they tire out. His argument is that they're not provided any means to restrain violent individuals. The article doesnt go into if all the individuals were violent or resisting arrest, so we only have his testimony

They're 56 substantiated allegations of misconduct. The allegations wouldn't be substantiated as misconduct if they were justified actions to restrain violent individuals.
