Cop caught berating Uber driver in xenophobic rant is NYPD detective, police sources say
The angry lawman who was caught on camera belittling an Uber driver during a bias-fueled tirade in the West Village is an NYPD detective assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force, police sources confirmed Tuesday.
The NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau is investigating the video, which shows Det. Patrick Cherry lambasting the Uber driver during a traffic stop and mocking his broken English.
“I don't know where you're coming from, where you think you're appropriate in doing that; that's not the way it works. How long have you been in this country?” Cherry, who is white, barked at the driver after pulling him over in an unmarked car with flashing lights, according to video of the encounter.
Uh huh. That other thread has been at the top of the roster for some time, stars and all. You missed a police bashing thread, impossible.
I just put the stars on it myself. There were none there before that. Again, I'm fine if this thread is deleted or merged.
