Report: Cop Turned Himself In For Allegedly Attacking MTA Worker At Subway Station

[Blue_Adept]

Yesterday, the NYPD asked for the public's help in identifying the man who allegedly attacked an on-duty subway conductor at the East Tremont Avenue station in the Bronx. Now, WCBS 2 is reporting that a police officer recognized himself from the surveillance video and subsequently turned himself in.

At least we know where the spike in crime is coming from.

1. Re: "a police officer recognized himself from the surveillance video"

I love how they worded that.

They are trying their darnest to avoid saying that a police officer was caught assaulting a man.

8. Make that assaulting a woman n/t

14. Yeah, like he is Sherlock Holmes or something.

"Eureka!, I recognize the person in that video"

That sort of intentionally misleading language is usually apparent to me too.

2. And yet, no charges. It seems police officers are above the law, even off-duty.

Mere peasants would be in cell right now awaiting bail.

3. He didn't turn himself in because he'd assaulted someone but because they had it on video?

Shame on him.

4. He was just practicing... nt

5. Because video.

6. a bad cop doing a bad thing

A normal person who thought they were being disrepected by the employee would gave gotten the disrespectful employee's name/badge number and called or wrote the MTA customer relations office.
I wonder what colour the attacked employee is.

Sickening, no charges laid.

7. They messed with a TWA member. There will be charges. nt

9. Why don't you wait until you get the full story before jumping to conclusions.

She was probably selling "loosies." She deserved it.

10. He recognized himself?

As in, "Oh, that was me who assaulted the conductor?!"

WCBS 2 reports, "The officer"—who was off-duty during the incident—"told investigators the woman cursed at him after he asked her a question, and grabbed his phone to prevent him from taking her picture, police alleged."

Story in place... she allegedly disrespected a fine upstanding officer of the law, so deserved a beating.

12. "That was me!?

Oh, I am SO gonna get myself. I vow justice for that MTA worker. Me, you have met your match."

11. The conductor must have gone for his gun and then charged him.

And was suspected of gang affiliations. And had trace amounts of weed in her system.

13. Or, she "reached for her waistband."

15. I bet she looks like a demon.

18. When I smoke weed, it makes me want to kill. Just anyone. I want to kill someone, anyone.

17. Too sad that you need a /s tag on a post such as yours;

With that said, When you are talking unreported crimes, the cops are front and center with their share.
