NYPD sergeant accused in death threats against podcasters resigns

An NYPD sergeant allegedly made online death threats against two podcasting ex-NYPD cops and their kids, then quit without facing criminal charges, officials confirmed.

Retired lieutenants John Macari Jr. and Eric Dym, whose “New York’s Finest: Retired & Unfiltered Podcast” often blasts NYPD leadership, reported a series of online threats in January to the department’s Internal Affairs bureau because they suspected that New York’s Finest were involved.

The most alarming posts showed up on Instagram under the handle “allcopsarewoke” or “ACAW.”

At least two posts included stock images of children. One said, “Hopefully nothing happens to your family. Kids are a precious thing.” The other said, “Very nice kids you have. Hopefully they live a long life.”

One post had a photo of a semi-automatic rifle with the message: “ACAW is after your home now. #Stayviligant(sic).”

Another showed a US map with roads pointing to Florida — where both ex-cops have homes. “Our time on Earth is limited. Let’s make it count,” it said...

Soon after Macari and Dym complained about the threats, the NYPD identified the prime suspect as Sgt. Shawn Mohabir, 30, and suspended him without pay, according to records confirmed by a department spokesperson.

Mohabir, who made $147,114 after five years on the job, resigned in March.

Macari and Dym, both retired since 2022, said they never worked with Mohabir, or even met him.

The NYPD would not explain Mohabir’s assignment or duties.

Macari and Dym said they repeatedly asked the NYPD to file criminal charges against Mohabir.

“When this maniac does something, it’s on them, not us,” Macari told The Post. “The NYPD investigation was nothing but a cover up.”

Cop makes "terroristic threats" online, and no criminal charges.

People with the "wrong politics" have been jailed for far less.

At least this sick individual resigned, and is now out of the law enforcement profession.

I kid, of course.

Gypsy cop: A police officer who frequently transfers between different police departments, often due to a history of misconduct or poor job performance. This term highlights the issue of such officers evading accountability by moving from one agency to another without facing consequences for their actions.

The victims should file a civil suit. That would go on his record.

“The surname Mohabir has its roots in the Indian subcontinent, particularly among Indo-Caribbean communities, and is believed to derive from the Hindi word for “messenger.” It is also a variant of “Mahabir,” meaning “great warrior” in Sanskrit, often associated with Hindu mythology.”

Unfortunately, that wouldn’t matter much. Bad cops need to have their police certifications revoked. With anything less, they can (and do) just move down the road and get a job with another department.

And now a qualified defense of those departments. Many police departments are desperate for certified officers ready to hit the streets. So they’ll hire a bad cop, and hope for the best.

That’s especially true with smaller departments.

I HATE how the elitists protect each other.

Don’t they remember that no one is above the law????????

That means THEM, too.

“… particularly among Indo-Caribbean communities…”

Unsurprisingly, there’s no photo of this guy. Coulter’s Rule?
