I didnt read the article, but I dont have too. The cops are full of it. I hate them. After what they did to me Friday, I lost all respect for them. Throwing my hat to the ground and making ME pick it up, pulling my arm back, saying they were going to "beat me an my friend up", then making light of the situation by saying "uhh, what's the matter? Afraid of the police?" When I answered "no", they said, "so why is your heart beating so fast? Like ???!
I agree that the level of the NYPD has falling greatly these past few years. I think something should be done, because the cops are nothing but power abusing bullies. They can say and do whatever they want to you, and you cant do nothing about it.
BTW these were DT's from the 34th precinct, but they were in 52nd territory.
I hope you filed a damn police report! people can not keep letting this crap go.
Hey just an update...there is also DNA evidence to back up this guy's story, plus the Transit Cop is also testifying. These guys are going down...this is so sad on a number of levels...the lack of leadership and accountability in the department is staggering. DNA BOOSTED 'SODOMY COP' INDICTMENTS - New York Post 2 COPS ASKED TO SURRENDER IN SODOMY CASE - New York Post (http://www.nypost.com/seven/12082008/news/regionalnews/2_cops_asked_to_surrender_in_sodomy_case_143241.ht m - broken link)
Here we go AGAIN. Will this nonsense ever end? 5 NYPD police officers are accused of chasing a civilian down to a trainstation, holding him down, pulling his pants down, and sodomizing him with a walky-talk in the middle of the afternoon . Witnesses reported seeing the civilians pants down, hearing him scream "why are you sticking that walky-talk up my a$$", and the medical report indicates trauma to the anus. He was released from the hospital 4 days later. Some quotes from the article "This is a bad one," a law enforcement source said. "It looks like one of the cops inserted his radio antenna in the victim's rectum." AND "Hospital officials said Mineo was admitted Oct. 15 and discharged four days later. Amolsch said Mineo was looking for medical care last night, complaining that he had been urinating blood and suffering lingering pain since the incident. A source familiar with the investigation said a two-page medical discharge summary listed the principal diagnosis as "anal assault." The document says Mineo complained he was "assaulted" by a "foreign object rectally." Brooklyn man accuses 5 cops of sodomy attack in subway; district attorney launches investigation
Just when you think this story cannot get any worse...what are the cops doing? "Mineo, who stared down the three accused cops at their arraignment, got into a standoff with plainclothes cops, who called him a "f----t," right in the courtroom in front of everyone!!! This is what we are dealing with in the Police Force...and there were NO repercussions for their actions..not a peep from anyone. NY's finest indeed....way to go! Police taunt subway accuser, who blows kisses at them
This seems like a pretty open and shut case to me. They have the victim's DNA on the baton, and witnesses. But I don't want to count chickens before they hatch.
This whole thing is just so embarrassing for our city and the police department, and just the human species overall.
Pretty much..the icing on the cake is the plainclothes cops in the courtroom calling the victim a "fa--ot". Wow....he is sodomized BY COPS..and a bunch of cops actually have the nerve to show up at the arraignment and call the victim a fa--ot....this is what we are dealing with in the dept. The cops are now terrorizing the victim IN COURT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE...and they are not reprimanded...they do what they want with no repurcussions. As I stated repeatedly...until change is made from the TOP down...and cops have REAL leadership and accountability instead of selfish, power hungry Union Bosses...we will continue to have these outrageous and violent acts by cops again and again, year after year. Don't believe the hype about low salaries either..this has been going on for DECADES..and will continue to go on for DECADES until real change comes to the dept.
The whole thing is sickening... back when the Volpe/Louima incident occurred I would have bet the farm that nothing that outrageous could have occurred. Well, I was soooo wrong and thought nothing like that could happen again. Wrong again? We'll see but from what I have read in the paper it is not looking good.
The silver lining is the cop who had the balls to come forward with his version of the truth. I hope he earns the respect of his fellow officers rather than the unbelievable taunts.

1. There's only one truth hence the non-existence of other "versions"....
2. So the "silver lining cop" is essentially facing "stop snitching" taunts. I thought that was a gang banging/thug script
