NYPD officers surround Bronx courthouse in support of indicted cops in ticket-fixing scandal

"The cop at the center of the massive ticket-fixing scandal was held Friday on $500,000 cash bail after his arraignment in a Bronx courtroom packed with furious police officers.

Officer Jose Ramos of the 40th Precinct was the only one of the 16 accused cops not to make bail after their court appearances in the worst NYPD scandal in two decades..."
The arraignments came before a blue wall of hostility as hundreds of angry cops filled the courtroom and protested outside the courthouse.
...
"The cops cheered their purportedly crooked co-workers as they exited the courthouse after posting bail, while vilifying Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson, Mayor Bloomberg and the head of the NYPD."

--------------
500 cop sympathizers of crooked NYPD cops insulting prosecutors trying to punish the thug cops. This is a good example of why no cop can be trusted to protect you or defend the public interest, when massive numbers turn out to support criminals in their own ranks. Notice the cop smoking a cigarette who looks more like a mafia thug than a public servant.

2. Cops protecting other cops. If you are a cop, you are above the law.
The blue wall of silence is still very real. Of course, the NYPD is openly corrupt and thuggish, so this is to be expected.
