The NYPD has busted three men, including a reputed Crips gang member on probation, in connection with the caught-on-video water-dousing of cops in Harlem and Brooklyn, law enforcement sources told The Post Wednesday.
Gangbanger Courtney “Killer Court” Thompson, 28, of the Crips subset “Fresh Gangstas” surrendered Wednesday morning at the 73rd Precinct stationhouse for his alleged involvement in the Brownsville water drenching incident, sources said.
Thompson, a Brownsville resident, was hit with charges of obstruction of governmental administration, criminal nuisance, criminal tampering, disorderly conduct and harassment, police said.
He has more than 20 prior arrests on his record, including for assault, said sources, who noted that most of the busts are sealed.
Thompson has been on probation since 2018 in connection to a 2015 robbery busy, according to sources.
NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan tweeted about Wednesday’s arrest, but did not name the suspect.
“Actions like we’ve seen in videos recently will NEVER be tolerated in this city. YOU WILL BE ARRESTED,” Monahan said in the tweet.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea also tweeted about the arrest, and included a screenshot of the suspect showing him tossing a blue bucket of water on a cop.
Two other suspects were taken into custody at the 28th Precinct stationhouse Wednesday in connection to a similar incident in Harlem where uniformed officers were captured on video getting soaked with buckets of water while making an arrest, sources said.

The judge should sentence them to a dunking tank at a street fair.

As long as the dunking tank is 100 feet deep and he can’t swim, I’m good with that.
About time. The little punks need to have Big Bubba as a cellmate.
NY needs a 3 strikes law for all gang members and all violent crimes perpetrated by criminals. A separate prison for all lifer criminals where they have to work for their room, board, and guards. It would keep them busy and enable rewarding good behavior and punishing bad behavior. It would make jobs and pay for them. Prisoners can make more than license plates.
In fact this should be done in all 50 states and at the federal level too.
GoFundMe accounts being set up for the perps in ..... THREE....TWO....ONE!
Today water, tomorrow acid.
If you or I had been drenched like this and called the cops, we’d be laughed at.
I wonder if 3 men would be arrested and tried for assault if they threw water on me?
;0) You know the answer.
Coddled criminals!
Send them to Gitmo and waterboard them.
I believe that cops are more targeted than I am.
I believe that’s the fault of their administrators, superiors and ultimately the SOP.
I believe cops are purposefully trapped into that career.
I also plainly see that the playing field is skewed in their favor over normal citizens. I mean if someone kills my pet, do they get charged for “killing an officer”? No. If I tangle with the wrong people and then pull my gun will the courts be so lenient on me? No.
The entire way policing is done in this country is plain wrong and gets a lot of people killed.
But nothing will happen to them because they are of a favored skin color.
