Watch a crazy cop ram his way through crowded New York City street
by Rob Beschizza from on (#4CAQR)
When you've got somewhere to go, but someone's in your way waiting for a parking spot to clear, what can you do about it? If you're a traffic cop with the NYPD and answerable to no-one, this is what you do: ram them.
Some commenters on the footage suggest that pushing the waiting car out the way is reasonable. Maybe so. This, however, is a power addict totalling a $50k+ Ford Responder and damaging several other vehicles.An NYPD spokesperson said the traffic supervisor appeared disoriented and was taken to a hospital for evaluation. Police sources say he was not intoxicated.
The owner of the parked truck said he doesn't believe the incident was the result of a medical episode.
The incident remains under internal review. So far no charges have been filed.
