He got hurt chasing a perp — and now he runs marathons on the taxpayers’ dime.

A retired NYPD cop awarded a disability pension after tearing up his knee in a foot pursuit works as a sheriff’s deputy near Miami and runs races — and it’s all legal.

Running marathons on state disability should be illegal by New York State Law.

I don't know precisely WHY this is legal, but considering how corrupt the state of New York is, you have to assume their taxpayers are getting fleeced by the unions.

Who cares? I would rather see this guy screw the system than someone who has played it without contributing to society.

So true. Will never forget sitting in IHOP around the corner from a Harley Dealer when these two older guys sit after getting their new rides and talking about their Disability Claims. LOL

Yes, he is a "hero" for gaming the system.

This kind of disability fraud is rampant in the NYPD and NYFD, and has been for a very long time..I have members of my own extended family who slipped on banana peels after 5 years on NYPD, and earned a salary for decades afterward..while working jobs like moving furniture and such.....but they are all "heroes" so no one should question it.

Is it a conservative thing because you actually have to have had a job first?

Not sure where you are going with this but you sure set yourself up there.
