Anthony Bologna, the NYPD Deputy Inspector who used pepper spray at Occupy Wall Street protestors two years ago, is off the hook - temporarily - from having to appear before the Civilian Complaint Review Board.

Bologna was supposed to answer the board's questions about the incident at an interview Friday morning, but CCRB Chairman Daniel Chu issued a statement saying the grilling was "cancelled at the 11th hour by the police department for unspecified reasons."

Quis custodiet…

From "60 Minutes" interview with NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, (who Obama wants to head the Department of Homeland Security)

"It is nearly impossible to walk a block in lower Manhattan without being on television.
There are 2,000 cameras and soon there will be 3,000.-- all of which feed into this control center housed in a secret location." (Doll..Village Voice. Sept. 26, 2011

9. And they would probably

arrest/beat up anyone that took a cell phone vid of the incident. Most likely take the phone too.

11. That is something they do all the time; and so do many other Police Depts.

14. Several people that witnessed/recorded the Oscar Grant murder

actually ran from the cops and got away. That's the only way that we have the recording that we do.

13. I was being facetious:

15. A Deputy Inspector should have known better that to do what Bologna did.

Anthony Bologna needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Isn't he supposed to be a "peace officer"?

Thanks for posting that video..I hadn't seen that one before.

16. The CCRB is a pathetic joke . . .

. . . They have no actual authority over the NYPD. It can investigate, sure, but ultimately it can only recommend, not compel, disciplinary action. And the NYPD brass has to agree to any prosecution brought by the CCRB.

17. It's frightening to see police overreacting and beating people up, even killing.

It's nothing new, but now everyone has a video camera and there are so many security cameras around. So unnerving, like scenes from Nazi Germany.

18. Blomberg and his ilk have run NYC like a personal fiefdom. From protecting dirty cops to trying to

regulate what should be purely personal decisions they need to butt out. The end of his term can't come early enough.

19. But Obama IS considering launching an attack against him...

[Jim Lane]

20. The linked article says his appearance will be rescheduled.

This might be nothing more than the court reporter conveniently calling in sick the Friday before a long weekend.

Let's save the outrage until he actually gets off the hook, which, I admit, is all too probable.
