An evangelist cop who saw a demon at 1 Police Plaza and acted "godlike" is suing the NYPD to get his gun back.
Lt. Dominic Maglione contends police brass discriminated against his religious beliefs by putting him on desk duty at Brooklyn's 90th Precinct stationhouse and stripping him of his badge and gun after a psychotic episode in April 2006.
"[The NYPD's] wrongful confiscation of [Maglione's] badge and gun have compromised [his] ability to do his job," says the Manhattan Supreme Court suit.
Documents attached to Maglione's suit describe the 21-year veteran as a "practicing evangelist," and say the 2006 hospitalization was because he starved himself because he was too busy praying.
"He was alarmingly thin, his skin was pale and he was malodorous," according to a March 2008 Police Pension Fund report, which said he once saw a demon at Police Headquarters.
The report also says he acted "godlike" and lost 20 pounds in a few weeks as result of nonstop "contact with God," and says Maglione suffers from bipolar disorder, hyperreligiosity and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

My only question is, was this a demon with massive ears, a loping gate and is frequently seen in front of large crowd of blabbering idiots? Because, I believe I have seen said beasty myself.
The report in the paper did not describe the beasty ... maybe someone from NYC can find out for us???? :)
Remember: Only police are qualified to be trusted with guns; and a cop without a gun or a badge, is, well, just a civilian?
I once had a bipolar girlfriend: some times she was a polar fox; other times she was a polar bear.
That was enough to deal with; I wouldn’t want a bipolar cop anywhere around my neighborhood.
Oh great, now we have a new disorder: hyperreligiosity.
That said, the police should be able to decide who is trustworthy in their ranks, and who is not. They all shield us and each other.
I just don’t like the reason being given as “hyperreligiousity.” That can sure get abused real quick.
This guy has a burn notice from Special Unit 2.
Hahahaha!
What a nutty whackjob!
Note: in this rare photo someone is actually between Schumer and the camera.
Hello? Bellevue? We have someone for pick up.
LOL!
