Off-duty NYPD sergeant pummeled in clash with reckless motorcyclist

An off-duty NYPD sergeant was punched in the face and knocked to the ground by a biker on the Upper East Side after he asked the reckless motorcyclist to slow down, police said Wednesday.

The 52-year-old sergeant was walking his dog at East 90th Street and First Avenue around 7 p.m. Tuesday when he spotted a man whizzing around on a green motorcycle and asked him to go easy, authorities said.

The two men began fighting — and the biker repeatedly punched the off-duty cop in the face, causing him to fall to the ground, police said.

The ruthless attacker kept pummeling the sergeant while he was on the ground, before riding off on the bike, heading east on East 90th Street, authorities said. *** The NYPD released photos early Wednesday of the suspect, who was still on the loose, describing him as between 35 and 45 years old, 5 feet 8 and 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing a gray hoodie, black pants, a helmet and riding the green bike.

The hoodie is gray

The pants are black

The helmet and bike are green

What immutable feature is missing from the description of the assailant?

Color me shocked by the journalistic cowardice.

Notice how the photo of the thug has intentionally been made blurry:

Massive gangs of bikers, ATV and cars will roar around the city center of philadelphia on weekends.

Someone should put out some spike strips.

Did the attacker beat the NYPD guy while screaming “STOP RESISTING!!! STOP RESISTING!!! STOP RESISTING!!!” ?

If so then I’m sure the NYPD will investigate and determine that the attacker did nothing wrong.

Spike strips are OK but I prefer caltrops. Much easier to deploy.

“Notice how the photo of the thug has intentionally been made blurry:”

That’s probably just from blowing up a small portion of an already low res video screenshot.

I’m reposting this from the story about the Canadian father who was stabbed for asking someone not to vape near his kid. Same thing applies.

When we were all from the same culture you knew what you could and couldn’t do under almost any circumstance. But since we are now surrounded by people who could be from any culture on Earth, we no longer have a universal set of behavioral standards. In addition, our own societal rules are being actively broken down by LGBT idiocy and environmental craziness. Western civilization, which has been more or less homogenous for a century or more has disintegrated. It is no longer safe to interact with strangers.

I’m sure he will be treated with all due respect when he is arrested.

I’m sure the Sgt. pleasantly “asked him to go easy”.

Then “The two men began fighting...”
Notice that they don’t say the biker attacked the Sgt.
