Ummm....maybe it was all him?

Just sayin'.

He's awaiting trial for strangling someone...I would guess a woman...

Obviously has issues with poor impulse control, a propensity for violence and throw in a stolen gun.

Glenn Grays is arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal court on Sunday after he was
arrested for allegedly making a gun with his hands to police who were trying
to pull him over in their cars.Bill Miller

That is what the above posted photo says and the article says this:
A ticked-off driver pulled a loaded, stolen gun on a car — only to discover that it was full of plainclothes cops, a high-ranking police source said Sunday.

Glenn Grays allegedly pointed the .45-caliber gun out his window after cutting off the car carrying undercover detectives from the Brooklyn North Gang Unit on the westbound Belt Parkway on Saturday in Sheepshead Bay, according to the source.

Yep, which is why I ended with; "Don’t know, but you can be sure there’s more than we’re being told."

Wondering what the cops did to piss him off so bad that he cut them off and pulled a gun. He might have done something first

Road rage incidents don't need any explanations other than the idiot getting pissed off at anything the other driver may have done

I was victim of some jackass's road rage several years ago. After exiting one X-way onto another major highway, I apparently cut some jackass off (I didn't) and he proceeded to lay on his horn while we were stopped at the next stop light.

He continued the same crap for the next two minutes then drove up along side of me flipping me the bird and motioning for me to roll down my window.

I shook my finger at him saying no then he backed of and threatened me on the other side of my car. Again, I shook my finger no then he backed off and tailgated me for the next to miles until he finally recognized my personalized license plate and backed way off..........

He followed me thru the next turn around but instead of following me completely thru it and into the gas station I was heading for, he headed off thru the adjacent strip mall and out the back.

My personalized plate indicated that I am a supporter of carrying concealed weapons and I was carrying all the while this jackass was trying to instigate a personal confrontation.........

But to readdress your comment, road ragers don't need any legitimate excuse, they are unhinged psychopaths just looking for an excuse to vent their anger and rage at anyone they deem to have dissed them on the highways...........

That's why I always carry a firearm in my vehicle.....

Newman: I’m a United States postal worker.

George: Aren’t those the guys that always go crazy and come back with a gun and shoot everybody?

Newman: Sometimes...

[AppyPappy]

I’m glad I don’t work at that Post Office. I’d be calling in sick.

[Kickass Conservative]

WWND? What would Newman do?

[A strike]

Your premise is that the cops “pissed him off”.

Brooklyn DA Drops Charges Against Arrested Postal Worker
U.S.P.S. employee

Glenn Grays was arrested by plainclothes cops in Crown Heights on March 17 while he was delivering the mail.

CROWN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson has dismissed the outstanding charges against Glenn Grays, an on-duty U.S. postal worker who was arrested in Crown Heights by four plainclothes cops on March 17.

“In the interest of justice I asked the Court to dismiss the disorderly conduct charge against Glen Grays,” Thompson said in a statement released Thursday.

Kenneth E. Ramseur, Grays’ attorney, described him as “delighted and greatly relieved” by Thompson’s decision.

Grays’ arrest was brought to public attention by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, who held a press conference decrying it on March 23.

“From the first moment I viewed the cell phone video footage of the questionable arrest, it was evident that he endured a clear miscarriage of justice,” Adams said in a statement Thursday. “The lives of young men of color hang in the balance when fundamental violations of one’s civil rights are allowed to persist unchecked.”

Filmed by a pedestrian, video of the arrest showed Grays, 27, being confronted on President Street by the four officers as he was delivering a package.

According to an account provided by Adams, Grays had nearly been struck by the officers’ car moments before as he crossed the street, and “made comments, as any New Yorker would do.”

The video shows the officers demanding Grays’ identification. When he declined, he was arrested, leaving his postal truck idling and unsecured in the street.

In a March interview with CBS, Grays said he “was extremely terrified” by the officers’ actions. He also said the car he was driven away in rear-ended another vehicle on its way to the police station, causing him to fly forward and strike his face and shoulder on the car’s front seat.

Ramseur, Grays’ attorney, confirmed that on Thursday, adding that his client was not buckled at the time of the incident.

Grays has undergone physical therapy on his shoulder and hasn’t been back to work since his arrest, for both physical and emotional reasons, Ramseur said, though he added the U.S.P.S. employee will likely return to his rounds next week.

“This has been a devastating thing to him,” Ramseur said of the March incident, explaining that despite having grown up in a tough neighborhood, Grays “never got arrested before.”

Grays told CBS that he wanted “disciplinary action” taken against the officers, be didn’t ask for them to be fired, noting that they may have families to support.

Ramseur said he’ll talk with his client next week about whether to take legal action against the NYPD.

Within days of the arrest, NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton initiated an investigation, and removed the four officers — identified in reports as Lt. Luis D. Machado, Miguel I. Rodriguez, Lazo Lluka and David G. Savella — from their specialized unit pending its conclusion. However, all initially remained on active duty.

According to a report in The New York Times, three of the officers had previously been sued for civil rights abuses. (Ramsuer said Rodriguez was driving the police car that crashed on March 17, injuring Grays.)

Bratton told the press that he was “not pleased with what I saw, the actions of our officers,” adding that he wanted to know why the officers were out of uniform.

Several days later, the commanding officer on the scene, Machado, was stripped of his badge and gun and placed on modified duty. According to DNAinfo, he was an 11-year veteran of the NYPD.

A February, 2015 report on the news blog CrownHeights.info covered a ceremony where Machado was celebrated after helping arrest a suspect accused of multiple Crown Heights shootings.

On Thursday, NYPD spokesman Lt. John Grimpel said Machado “was placed on modified duty and is facing departmental charges,” while Rodriguez, Lluka, and Savella “were disciplined internally and transferred from the 71 Precinct.”

That's why I always carry a firearm in my vehicle.....

I always have at least 2. One carried and one within reach.

Your premise is that the cops “pissed him off”.

Or he started it, as I said was a possibility.

I suggest night school for reading comprehen...never mind. You're probably already lost.

[A strike]

Premise: the proposition you started with leading to your ‘point’.

You began with “the cops pissed him off”.

Look up the defn.

Stamping out road rage ragers, one postal worker at a time. /sarc

[mom aka the evil dictator]

That website is full of crap. Both my husband and I retired from the Postal Service. He did 35 years and I did 32 years, and neither one of us made 6 figures at any time, even with overtime. My retirement is half of my salary.
It took me almost a year to be hired from the time I took the test, and I made a 100 on the test.
My guess is that this guy is a Postal Support Employee, basically a temporary position that can become permanent. As far as his previous charges go, he does not have to report that until he is convicted. The union would not allow the Postal Service to fire him (especially in New York)until the case was over.

charged with possession of a firearm
