Five NYPD Officers Beaten After All Night Party, No One Charged


Five off-duty New York City Housing Cops were beaten after an argument broke out when they tried gaining entrance to a popular Rego Park bar that was about to close.

One of the cops approached a bouncer and flashed his NYC Police Department badge in an attempt to intimidate their way into the Tropix Bar and Lounge. When someone from a group of men standing nearby said something to the cop, a fist fight broke out.

The five cops had been boozing it up at an all-night NYC Housing Police party and decided to hop cabs to the Tropix.

At least three of the drunk cops were taken to the hospital with bloody gashes on their heads and faces after the December 16, 2009 4:00AM beat down.

"It is sad when five off-duty cops are victims of a vicious assault and their attackers are still on the streets," a police source said. "It is getting bad out there."*

COMMENTARY:

*NEWSFLASH For the idiot ass-wipe police source making the above comment: Its been "sad," and has been "Bad out there," for years for the countless citizens who have been beaten by abusive, arrogant, punk ass cops!

No arrests have been made, that I am aware of as of this writing, in this story and I hope that no arrest is ever made in this case.

If this sort of beat down of abusive, arrogant, loud mouthed cops happened more frequently, perhaps the alarming increase in police brutality would reverse course and police would once again respect the citizens of this nation! Even if that respect has to come at the hands of good beat downs.

I applaud the actions of the men that gave these cops their holiday "Meet & Greet" and hope they continue their Good Samaritan service of protecting citizens from verbally abusive, arrogant, loud mouthed, physically abusive cops!
