The NYPD detective who was caught on video chewing out an Uber driver has been stripped of his shield and gun, and will be placed on modified duty, Police officials said.
Detective Patrick Cherry has been removed from the department’s elite Joint Terrorism Task Force and will be doing desk duty until he is officially transferred out of the prestigious division.
“No good cop should watch that video without a wince,” Commissioner Bill Bratton said at a Wednesday press conference. “Because all good cops know that officer just made their jobs a little bit harder.”
“In that kind of encounter, anger like that is unacceptable,” Bratton continued. “In any encounter, discourtesy and obscene language like that is unacceptable.
“That officer’s behavior reflected poorly on everyone who wears our uniform.”
The incident was being investigated by the Internal Affairs Bureau before being taken over by the Civilian Complaint Review Board, police said.

Poorly but accurately.
And this is the exact reason cops are getting a bad rap. Some believe the law only applies to civilians.
Bad apple in the big apple.
Get away with it... OR NOT!
The muzzie was well behaved and that honky cop behaved just like a jihadist.
More and more.cops.think his behavior is cool, and they’re often theives.
How many times does this have to happen before cops come to the realization that they are very likely being filmed?

Put behind a desk? This cop should be fired. Zero tolerance for bad cops.
GoPro cameras are even better than free speech in helping to identify the idiots.
How about that cop in Ct who said “I can’t wait to kick you door down” to the “I will not comply” guy? Has he been fired?
The unbridled anger and towering arrogance. Wow!
As pro law enforcement asI am, ithas bothered me for a long time how a lot of cops behave as if it is THEIR own laws that they are enforcing: you have the audacity to violate MY laws?! How dare you!?
There are certain individuals who should not be trusted to carry firearms.
This man gave us an excellent example.
At one time we were Citizens. Now it is civilians. When will it become serf?
I would love to have seen the look on this dick cops face when he first saw this video! Fire him!!
In their minds you already are.
Stripped of badge and gun...BUT he still has a job.
No matter how bad or corrupt a cop is, he will never be fired.
I was going to say, as long as they take his badge and gun that would be o.k. Let him be the station hey boy. But knowing how they operate, and soon as the heat is off, they would slip him his badge and gun and tell him, “Next time, don’t get caught”, your solution is the best one. Let him find another line of work. And hope he does not run into someone he has mistreated under the protection of his badge.
One word....unions.
The driver would be wise to get out of NYC...
What fraction of police behavior is exactly like this but NOT caught on video?
