At least five off-duty New York Police Department officers have admitted being present at the savage revenge beating last weekend on the Henry Hudson Parkway, according to reports.
Among the off duty cops were at least two detectives and three other officers, all who witnessed the attack and did little to stop it. One of the detectives, an undercover narcotics officer, watched as the violence broke out and chose not to break it up for fear of ruining his cover.
The five officers were not the only ones present, WABC is reporting that the NYPD is investigating whether several off-duty corrections officers were also present.
Police present for the violent attack did not begin coming forward until Wednesday - four days later.
The New York Post originally reported that the first undercover officer to admit being at the ruthless pounding was not the only cop at the scene, as several members of the motorcycle group- called the Front Line Soldiers- are police officers themselves.....
Mieses was recently arrested in Andover, Mass., for driving with a revoked license. He also never applied for a motorcycle license.
Records show that in June he was named a habitual offender and his right to drive in the state was revoked until 2017. It wasn't clear if he had been licensed in any other state.

twisted but cops do love their bikes
I hope they all get fired
BTW pictures of the SUV show a smashed passenger side window — so they were underattack from both sides.
I’m sure the officers will get a severe verbal reprimand as they report for duty, expect anyone driving an SUV to be ticketed for something, for a few days anyway.
no moral compass
Well I was wondering where the cops were, now I know.
SSooo were one of those five the source of that incredible video??
Thug cops!
No surprise really. It is after all, NYC.
I read an article about the issue of cops being members of these motorcycle clubs (I don’t remember where) a couple of months before this happened.
It’s apparently become a big problem, because the behavior of these new, aggressive motorcycle clubs is often not something a cop should be part of, and some of the other members are known criminals. These are not your daddy’s motorcycle clubs, so to speak, and violent or at least aggressive, intimidating rides seem to be a regular part of their lives.
I was on my way back from Orlando a few weeks ago and saw them surround a car on the highway here in Florida, clearly attempting to taunt or scare the driver. Not good. But then they all swoop off before law enforcement can get there...and if some of them actually are law enforcement - yipes!
“To Protect and Serve.” So much for that.
So, this is turning out to be federal/state/govt employees on a wilding. Any bets as to whether the rest are some form of govt. pogue?
It’s a Police “Biker” Gang...
So I'd ask -- "How many of the thugs weren't cops?"
Too much power in government led to the wrong type of people in government and too much power in the the police force led to the wrong type of people as police.
It is necessary for governments to rise and fall to maintain liberty.
Thomas Jefferson said it better.
More proof cops are not on the side of law or the people. They are on “their” side demarked by the “thin blue line”.
Defund the police.
