How Can Reasonable People Trust These Cops

James Blake

The head of the NYPD’s Patrolmen Benevolent Association the Union which rep­re­sents rank and file cops is known for mak­ing out­ra­geous state­ments against cit­i­zens irre­spec­tive of the charge or alle­ga­tions lev­eled against his members.
His com­ments has become so out­ra­geous and out­landish that he is now seen as a total moron who no one lis­tens to anymore.
Patrick Lynch has lost all cred­i­bil­i­ty even some of the very peo­ple whom he rep­re­sents wants to see the back of this igno­rant goon.

The lat­est inci­dent in which Lynch showed just how igno­rant a Jack-Ass he is involves the case of mis­tak­en iden­ti­ty involv­ing for­mer ten­nis star James Blake.

Mister Blake was grabbed by NYPD cop James Frascatore out­side a New York City hotel as he stood wait­ing on his ride to take him to an event. Frascatore was seen on video grab­bing and slam­ming Blake to the pave­ment before cuff­ing him.

The NYPD lat­er said it was a case of mis­tak­en iden­ti­ty . The Department alleges that Frascatore and oth­er cops were involved in a sting oper­a­tion which involved the inves­ti­ga­tion of cred­it card fraud and a sus­pect who resem­bled mis­ter Blake.
Of course the NYPD can­not just go up to an alleged cred­it card sus­pect and arrest him , every sus­pect must be vio­lent­ly thrown to the ground as ini­tial pun­ish­ment before a tri­al or conviction.[sic]

The Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) which inves­ti­gat­ed the mat­ter ruled that Frascatore used exces­sive force in effect­ing the arrest, which I remind you was a wrong arrest to begin with. The 4 year vet­er­an of the NYPD Frascatore is report­ed to have sev­er­al oth­er com­plaints of exces­sive force pend­ing against him.

Despite this, Patrick Lynch spout­ing the same garbage we are used to said, the CCRB gave Blake’s case spe­cial treatment.
The union head went fur­ther say­ing that Frascatore did noth­ing wrong and even shook hands with Blake after real­iz­ing he was not the sus­pect­ed cred­it card fraud­ster his plain­clothes NYPD team was seeking.
Frascatore “detained the per­son the way he’s trained to do — hand­cuff him,” he said. “There was a pat on the back, a hand­shake and every­one left. This police offi­cer respond­ed to his training.”
So there for those who did not know accord­ing to Patrick Lynch the NYPD is trained to throw peo­ple to the ground and kneel on them even before they are sure they are involved in com­mit­ting an offence.
And oh by the way after a vio­lent unlaw­ful arrest cit­i­zens should be hap­py to receive a hand­shake and a pat on the back.
The nerve of this absolute idiot.

NOT TO BE OUTDONE
Meanwhile anoth­er thug in uni­form , the head of the Captains Endowment Association Roy Richter charged bias in anoth­er rul­ing against anoth­er mem­ber of the NYPD .
Richter was com­ment­ing on the case involv­ing for­mer lieu­tenant Brian McCaughey now Captain, pro­mot­ed even though there was an out­stand­ing alle­ga­tion of improp­er use of force against him .

NYPD Capt. Brian McCaughey will lose 30 paid vacation days after he pleaded guilty to a 2013 incident in which he pulled a gun and screamed at two kids who were playing tag on a Brooklyn street.
NYPD Capt. Brian McCaughey will lose 30 paid vaca­tion days after he plead­ed guilty to a 2013 inci­dent in which he pulled a gun and screamed at two kids who were play­ing tag on a Brooklyn street.

Brian McCauhey was accused of point­ing his gun at two skin­ny kids harm­less­ly play­ing tag on a Brooklyn street — and pro­fane­ly order­ing the pair to drop face down.

Motherf — –, get on the ground!” a hyped-up Brian McCaughey shout­ed with his weapon need­less­ly drawn, accord­ing to rel­a­tives of two boys and oth­er sources. He then hand­cuffed 13-year-old Kesean Smalls as fright­ened 12-year-old Jahniel Hinds cow­ered behind his moth­er on the evening of Sept. 13, 2013, accord­ing to fam­i­ly mem­bers. Minutes ear­li­er, the boys were play­ing tag out­side their homes on Quincy St. in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Hinds bolt­ed in ter­ror as his friend Smalls was cuffed and grilled by anoth­er cop, fam­i­ly mem­bers said. “We were play­ing. As we were run­ning towards each oth­er that’s when they start­ed aim­ing their guns and everything,”

The boys were only released when one of their moms inter­vened. Needless to say in this case also the cops were too stu­pid to real­ize they had the wrong per­sons. In this case accord­ing to New York Daily News report they were four blocks from where they were sent. Another case of mis­tak­en identity.
McCaughey, who was a lieu­tenant at the time of the inci­dent, plead­ed guilty and agreed to the dock­ing of 30 vaca­tion days as his penal­ty in the case inves­ti­gat­ed by the Citizens Complaint Review Board. NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton must still sign off on the deal. “Pointing a gun at two young boys, who had done noth­ing oth­er than play tag on their own street, was a reck­less use of force that trau­ma­tized them and cre­at­ed an extreme­ly dan­ger­ous sit­u­a­tion,” said CCRB exec­u­tive direc­tor Mina Malik.

Rather that shut his stu­pid mouth and have this mat­ter go away Richter revealed once again that NYPD cops do not believe the laws apply to them.They clear­ly see them­selves above the laws. They fun­da­men­tal­ly believe they are part of a spe­cial club which makes them immune to being held accountable.
In respond­ing to the ver­dict Richter said “It reveals their true bias against any­one wear­ing a uni­form and their need for pub­lic flog­gings at the expense of due process of rights of officers,”.

An igno­rant state­ment com­ing from the lips of a moron.
McCaughey plead guilty to the charges.
There are no alle­ga­tions of impro­pri­ety in the way the inves­ti­ga­tions were con­duct­ed by the CCRB.
Totally unlike the thou­sands of inno­cent peo­ple who have been wrong­ly framed and impris­oned on trumped up and con­coct­ed evi­dence by mem­bers of the NYPD.
Every year more and more cit­i­zens are being released from pris­ons after evi­dence comes to light of the crim­i­nal con­duct NYPD cops engage in to send inno­cent peo­ple to jail for crimes they did not commit.
Most shock­ing in all this is that this par­tic­u­lar cop was pro­mot­ed despite hav­ing an unre­solved case involv­ing exces­sive use of force against him.
How can any­one trust these thugs in uni­form ? Nevertheless it seem to be the norm for all the union heads with­in the NYPD . The head of the Sergeants Union Ed Mullins open­ly called Mayor Bill de Blasio a nincompoop.
Clearly these boys are lit­tle more than glo­ri­fied thugs who have zero respect for duly con­sti­tut­ed author­i­ty be it over­sight of what they do or even the city-wide elect­ed lead­ers who are their bosses.
Yet every­day they demand respect from the very peo­ple who pay their salaries and pro­vide gen­er­ous pen­sion and health plans for them and their families.
It’s a darn disgrace.….
