I was reading about this on another website and the outpouring of support was so overwhelming i had to stop reading it. I heard every thing from it was a setup to get him to this is nothing being blown out of proportion by the liberal media. Why can't it simply be someone was being greedy and committed a crime of opportunity because he figure these people won't report it
I don't care if your skin is purple, just pay taxes.
Why do you associate Latinos with illegals? Ever hear of Puerto Rico? Your ignorance is plentiful. I find it funny how whitey used to degrade latinos by calling them all puertoricans back in the day, now they are all referred to as mexicans. Another nationalty that has a lenghty american heritage along with lineage.
LOL! Research him. He has a LONG LONG history in LI "public service." He knows where the bodies are buried and participated in burying a few himself. Not lily white and immaculate himself by any means.
last year a cop in Nassau was arrested for stealing baby food. Turns out he was under stress. He got a slap on the wrist. Another cop pointed a loaded handgun at a bartender. He is "receiving counseling" and doing better because , according to the PBA , "everybody deserves a second chance".
Anyone care to guess on the outcome of this one ? It's tough to live on $177,000 these days.
That cop now works a cushy desk gig in Nassau County making around $150K a year (no OT). He works in the unit that determines which ordinary citizens who apply are allowed to have handguns and which are not. In any other place, including the private sector, he would have been fired for being a criminal. Imagine that, you can still be a cop, even if you are caught being a criminal ... only in Nassau County, kids!
PS: Also don't forget the drunken Nassau cops who were out partying in Huntington and actually shot a taxi driver ... they almost covered that one up with the help of Suffolk cops, except the taxi driver knew a politician who pulled the stinking mess out from under the rug. I think the taxi driver is suing, but I am sure the Nassau cops and the Suffolk cops who covered it up for them still have their jobs. I don't have all the details on this ... anybody?

just a few "minor" corrections...
In regards to the first part -- that is factually wrong. Moreover, the County Charter, The Departmental regulation, as well as the NYS CPL [that's criminal Procedure Law] both dictate what can and cannot cause you to be fired/removed from consideration for police employment. Irrespective of what he was charged with, it's what he pled guilty to that's the deciding factor. He pled to a misdemeanor, which leaves his employment to the discretion of the Police commissioner...which, unfortunately, has been in a state of flux on & of for about three years -- which, coincidentally brings us to the second part -- it was one; not two. And the "politician" that was known was in fact a Deputy Bureau chief in the Nassau DA's office, not a politician. And, when given a *second* chance to go to the grand Jury, what did the shooting victim do? he declined. Short of a capital offense, NO DA will proceed without a complainant. Not gonna happen anywhere. Now, while there's *NO* denying that the actions of the ONE Police Officer in the shooting will soon get what punishment is deserved [and I've said since it happened he should be fired] confusing facts with your personal desires is a bit of disservice; no?

First Part -- Exactly what is "factually wrong?" Pardon me if I didn't get his salary correct to the penny as I was estimating. It has been reported in the news that he IS working in the unit that determines who gets to have a handgun permit. He is damn lucky to have a job. Out there in the REAL WORLD of THE PRIVATE NON-UNIONIZED SECTOR he very well would have been shown the door for causing much less embarrassment to his employer, believe me. Actually, with the doctrine of at will employment, which is the law in all states but Montana, he could be shown the door for nothing at all. And that IS FACTUALLY CORRECT, but perhaps in your sheltered life is something YOU know nothing about.
Second Part -- I already said I didn't have all the details right on the taxi driver shooting AND asked for someone to step in with the facts so you didn't need to write the last part I bolded. But wasn't it TWO cops out for the night with their wives/GFs and both drunk as skunks, acting crazy? Or you claim it was only one cop drunk all by himself? I never said there was more than one shooter. Supposedly the taxi driver says he "fears for his life" or at the very least fears ongoing harassment from the Suffolk cops if he continues to live in his home in Suffolk and that's why he won't be a witness. However, isn't he still suing and still going to cost the taxpayers money anyway? You're also glossing over the part that if it wasn't for this Bureau Chief, this nasty incident would have been blamed all on the taxi drive and buried by both SCPD and NCPD. That's a pretty dirty excuse for "law enforcement."

It must have been one of the police "rant" websites. You are right in your asssessment of him and the crime.
This cop and others like him are a disgrace to all that serve the community honorably.
There is no indication that any of the ones he targeted were drug dealers or illegal as you later tried to suggest. Anything else you want to make up while you are at it??
You know damn well the Hate Crime Posse wont allow the truth about these purely innocent hispanics to come out.

To be fair, the articles I saw didn't indicate much beyond the cop targeted Latinos and got caught. When I first heard this story I figured he was probably targeting illegal immigrants, the reason being they would be less likely to report him out of fear of consequences like deportation. I didn't think of drug dealers but that would also make sense given that line of thinking. It doesn't make it right, but you've got to figure he didn't want to get caught and so took some measure of precaution. Then again, he could have just figured that people would be scared to report a police officer, that he has their address and other information, but the article specifies he targeted Latinos. Maybe he is simply a racist and just wanted to mete out extra punishment to Latinos? Or maybe he figured that even if a Latino, citizen or not, did report him, people (e.g. DA's office, other police, the public at large) would not believe them over him, a white(?) cop? Either way, if true, this guy is a scumbag.
