now let's wait and see how many of them will claim early retirement because of ptsd over a hockey brawl.
just like all the other cops and firefighters that got busted for scamming ss and the city out of millions of dollars.
The NYPD vs FDNY 2014 hockey match was a great game. Filled with passion and emotion. Much better than professional leagues owned with teams by parasitic plutocrats and with a roster filled with disinterested suburban carpetbaggers. You folks are taking this brawl out of context and using it for your own means of bashing working class ethnics.
I'd love to see the direction of this thread if majority of the brawlers were POC. If there's ever a brawl at the Garden or Barclay's Center, I'm sure this thread would have a bigger turnout. A few posters automatically come to mind as in who would be the ringleaders of the racism.
I think it's interesting that the people who are to "serve and protect" are participating in the buffoonery, at a CHARITY EVENT no less. Shouldn't they be setting an example of sportsmanship and respect for the kids in the crowd? Also, I fail to see how they can get a pass for assault, yet we, the common folk, would get arrested for doing the same exact thing. Yes, I'm fully aware fighting is allowed in hockey between two people.
In years past the fight would have be in the stands and not on the ice.
As for racists where does anyone see that?? Over 40% of the personnel of the NYPD (cops) are now minorities. The overall percentage is higher when you factor in the traffic agents, school safety officers and civilians.
Also this took place a couple hours after FDNY pulled two cops out of an elevator who suffrerred smoke inhalation in a building fire on Coney Island.
No real story here, move on...
