Per the norm, violent thug cops beat up on citizens for not being subservient and sufficently scared:
Two female cops were busted for punching, kicking and pistol-whipping a Bronx driver until his head cracked open – just beacuse he refused to close a car door blocking their path, authorities said yesterday.
Michelle Anglin 37, and Koleen Robinson, 24, were stripped of their shields and service weapons, and slapped with a laundry list of charges topped by gang assault, authorities said.
They could have killed this man. Anything less than attempted murder charges are a slap on the wrist.
What do you think would happen if the victim did the same to a female cop in broad daylight in front of dozens of witnesses? He'd already be dead – due to 8,000 gunshot wounds inflicted by half of the NYPD.
I'll be damned surprised if either of these disgusting predators spend any real time behind bars. Further, the Internal Affairs thugs who threatened him to be silent should join them in lockup.
While I have a few decorated and honorable police veterans in my own family, shit like this makes you really hate cops some days.
Folks, this is what a soft police state looks like. It is only going to get worse…

That is terrifying! And it happens so much…and people just make excuses.
I think it got worse after 911, because the Police force took steps to get any Tom, Dick, and Zelda signed up to be a cop…and I saw some of these “cadets” when I was taking a writing class near where the academy was (or, at least where they all hung out at a pizzeria). These “cadets” were nothing more than street thugs that I would normally be afraid of, but they had buzz cuts, uniforms, and gym bags with batons, etc. They were rude, obnoxious, lecherous, and there was a pack mentality of “we’re going to be cops, we can do what we want.”
I’m not making this up.
I have a lot of respect for all of the members of the police force who take their job seriously and are really trying to make a difference and help fight crime. They don’t get a great salary, and oftentimes they are putting their lives on the line.
But there are WAY too many people who get into this line of work because of the thrill of power over others…and this guy getting beaten up (and who knows what physiological damage was done go his brain, his skull?) for having his door open – to cops who were NOT in uniform…that is just appalling. And yes, you are correct – the fact that Internal Affairs told him to keep quiet is just…scary.
Where’s the justice? Damn.
