5 NYP Officers accused of Sodomy in Train station (Livonia, Fine: felony, houses)

[sandinmyshoes]

the only problem with nyc cops is they can never admit a mistake.then they all clam up.i oftened wondered why they have such a high rate of suicide.the ones who swallow a bullet,are the ones with strong morals(knowing right from wrong)are the ones who suffer and eat the lead.i allways pray for them.i told my co-worker that i loved him and would allways have his back.if i saw him sticking anything up a human or animals ass i'd crack his head in two.i wouldn't back up anyone who did that.why would anyone?that is the problem with nypd.backing anything your gangmember does makes you a gangmember, not an officer of the law.the kid buying booze,...you got what you deserved.you got away easy.

He was released from the hospital 4 days later. Some quotes from the article "This is a bad one," a law enforcement source said.

Amolsch said Mineo was looking for medical care last night, complaining that he had been urinating blood and suffering lingering pain since the incident.

What the hell is wrong with people???? Great cops.

I think they did the right thing and that's exactly what they were paid to do..they saw something suspicios, in a known drug spot, and it fit the profile, and then saw you heading back to the Bronx, which is probably the typical path these dealers/users take. The job was well done by the cops...and if they really wanted to be a pain in your a$$ they could have got you for the liquor..but they CHOSE not to..yet you still HATE them. Thanks for the clarification..maybe next time you will choose to do the right thing and then you will avoid having to deal with cops? Or maybe you will keep going to known drug spots, hanging out, buy booze or whatever else, and then complain when cops stop you?

But is there a need to be so disrespectful??? Fine, if the behavior was suspicious, check it out, but throwing his hat on the ground, threatening to beat them up? That isn't right..

To get back to the original topic.. so it sounds like everyone believes this sodomy really occurred? I'm not trying to make excuses for the cops, or play "blame the victim," but isn't it extremely suspect that this supposedly happened in the middle of a subway station in broad daylight? That would require these cops not only to be extremely bold and (obviously) sociopathic, but also incredibly stupid. Not saying it's impossible but frankly the signs seem to indicate this may be at least a little bit embellished...

It doesn't surprise me at all.

I know the NYPD has to be tough because they deal with alot of criminals, and if you were to show weakness, you would never stand a chance against them. As for stopping me, that is not the problem. Although it is not illegal to stand somewhere with a friend, they assumed since it was a known drug spot, that I was involved in that. The problem that I have is that once they do stop me, and find nothing, and after having my 100% percent cooperation, their despicable attitude and treatment towards me and my friend. We did not say anything disrespectful or anything, answered all their questions, and did what they told us to do. Does that warrant having my hat thrown to the ground, and making me pick it up? Does that warrant them mocking the situation, asking if I was "afraid of the big bad cops?" Does that allow them to remind me every second that I better listen or they're "going to **** me up?" I don't think so. IMO, buying liquor at 15 is much worse than doing so at 20. They even admitted that they "didnt care about the liquor." So their attitude wasn't because of that. I think they crossed the line. Now, if I was accused of murder or drug trafficking, then I deserve to get treated like crap. But nothing I did deserved the treatment that I got, and I stand by that.

And thank you Jax,

They could have treated you more nicely, but let's be real here: you were engaged in a highly suspicious-looking and illegal activity. They were doing their jobs, even if they were doing it rudely. At least you weren't the victim of sodomy like the person about whom the original post was written alleges.

It's still fairly inexcusable. They were doing their jobs up until the point where his innocence was established. Everything that happened after that was unnecessary and uncalled for.

The fact that some other cops have gone even farther beyond what could be considered acceptable doesn't diminish how these cops treated Mario. That kind of "it could be worse" thinking just allows the envelope to be pushed farther and farther.

I guess I'll also point out here that cops don't *always* act like this... I had the cops called on me once in a situation where I was "acting suspiciously", and they were actually fairly nice and respectful to me after I cooperated and it became clear that I wasn't actually doing anything wrong.

The NYPD abuses power, there's no doubt about that. I believe they are given to much power. One tactic they like using, and I've seen it done, is putting their finger to your face, as if daring the person to hit them. They shove their finger on your cheek, yell at you (spitting while in the process), call you derogatory names, just to get you to hit them. Once you touch an officer, you are done. The cops can proceed to beat you to a pulp, and nothing is done. Even if the cops hit you first, is their word against yours. The NYPD is the strongest "gang" in NYC.

This explains the attitude towards cops in the hood. The "no snitching" attitude. Many of you who live in well-off areas may not believe this, but this all is very real in the hood.
