NYPD cop, who beat driver of car he rear ended, should never have been hired
Insiders blame an unfair system in which favors are granted to help certain disqualified — and possibly dangerous — candidates become NYPD cops.
Baror’s case shines a light on the shady practices, they say.
About 10:30 p.m. on New Year’s Day, while off-duty in his Jeep Cherokee, an enraged Baror flashed his illegally installed lights and siren at a car he was trying to pass, and rear-ended it, authorities said. Then, cops said, he pistol-whipped the other driver and beat his face with handcuffs, causing a bloody gash that needed 10 stitches.
“Don’t you know who I am? I’m NYPD!” Baror allegedly shouted.
Baror then sped off, running red lights, with the other driver in pursuit, authorities said. Finally, Baror slammed on the brakes and backed his Jeep into the other car with such force the air bags inflated, the couple told cops. Baror fled.
The Brooklyn District Attorney’s office, which issued an 11-count indictment against Baror on May 9, called it “a frightening attack on a fellow motorist.”

Baror’s unfortunate hiring wasn’t a fluke, an insider said.
NYPD brass or other officials occasionally get requests to help a friend or relative overcome a hiring obstacle, the source said.
