DaVinci 0 #151 October 10, 2013 QuoteAm I the only non-American to be mystified as to why the posts on this thread have immediately ceased once it is known that a number of "America's Finest" were amongst the gang?? I dont think they are the finest. I don't think a cop should have any more rights than an average citizen. I know plenty of cops.... Many of them I would not trust the keys to my house.

wmw999 2,166 #155 December 29, 2013 Just like liberal Texas, where the judge let the drunk kid who killed 4 others go to private rehab with no record. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

chutem 0 #157 December 30, 2013 ryoder***News outlets are starting to report that the police now have video of one of the undercover cops smashing the rear window on the SUV. So I see: http://nypost.com/2013/10/07/bike-cop-joined-in-on-suv-beatdown-video-reveals/ http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Undercover-NYPD-Cop-Window-Smash-Video-SUV-Biker-Brawl-226892961.html Would have gotten real interesting if the victim (suv driver) had a gun, off duty police officer acting as part of mob shoots SUV driver "in self defense", what a court case that would turn into.

They are now facing attempted gang assault and attempted assault. 15 years in prison vs 25. it looks as though while they tried to beat the guy badly, they did not. so its more of an attempted assault. had they been better at giving a beat down they would have faced greater charges. NYC is very liberal for sure but i dont see a bias here. IMO, no one wants to be soft on these guys. they were not poor kids gone bad that people feel sorry for. they were middle class, 20 something jerks that everyone seems to hate."The point is, I'm weird, but I never felt weird."
