State police filed multiple charges against a Pittsburgh police officer who allegedly became enraged and pulled a gun following a crash on the Parkway East Saturday morning.
Detective Bradley Walker, 43, got out of his vehicle after the minor crash at 10:16 a.m. on the outbound side of the highway near the Oakland exit, according to state police, who did not identify him as a police officer in their release. Detective Walker then reportedly punched and kicked the other vehicle's driver-side door and punched out the windshield and driver-side door window, state police said.
Detective Walker then reached into the vehicle and choked Jarret Fate, 29, of Pittsburgh, police said.
Mr. Fate tried to get away, but Detective Walker jumped into his vehicle and cut off the other driver.
Police said Detective Walker pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Mr. Fate. Mr. Fate gave Detective Walker his license and insurance card, and Detective Walker copied the information before throwing the cards back at Fate.

Hope this wasn't another of Boy Mayor Luke's promotions against which women's groups protested at the time because of their history of domestic violence.
