Bo Dietl is not a "thug". he was one of the most decorated officers in the history of the NYPD.
were you watching Fox News when he was on? Deese, Dem, and Dose Piper cubs flying in uncontrolled airspace are the bad guys yada yada yada. Thug? yes. he is trying to push a strong-arm police and government control agenda unde3r false pretense of public safety. that's a thuggish, or if you prefer, goon behavior.
