Hearing someone cry out in distress is difficult for many to endure. When the distress is caused by a gang with badges accountable to no one it is difficult to protect anyone. A judge made an effort to calm a situation that should not have happened.

A homeless man already in restraints was being attacked by police.

The police response, hide the evidence and lie to the district attorney. Shop owners were threatened not to show security footage of the man being attacked. Responsible citizens gathering evidence with their cameras were pushed out of range to hide the misdeeds of the NYPD.

A seventy year old judge was struck in the neck by an officer intent on hiding the criminality of his peers. The ER told the judge he had a crushed larynx. The police who have no medical license told the DA the judge had a sore throat from yelling.

And from what appears to be standard, the video evidence of the misdeeds was not even considered when the NYPD investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing.

2. There is a reason the PBA (which should be banned) oppses civilian oversight.

3. Un-fucking-believable!

Not even judges are safe from this barbarous clan we call a police force.

Hopefully, they fucked with the wrong dude.

7. My sister-in-law, who collects vintage buttions was pulled over for speeding

and had talked herself out of a ticket via shameless flattery, when the officer spotted her late sixties "Support your local police. Beat yourself up" button on her collar. She paid $275.00 for 33 in a 25.
