An evangelist cop who saw a demon at 1 Police Plaza and acted "godlike" is suing the NYPD to get his gun back.
Lt. Dominic Maglione contends police brass discriminated against his religious beliefs by putting him on desk duty at Brooklyn's 90th Precinct stationhouse and stripping him of his badge and gun after a psychotic episode in April 2006.
"[The NYPD's] wrongful confiscation of [Maglione's] badge and gun have compromised [his] ability to do his job," says the Manhattan Supreme Court suit.
Documents attached to Maglione's suit describe the 21-year veteran as a "practicing evangelist," and say the 2006 hospitalization was because he starved himself because he was too busy praying.
"He was alarmingly thin, his skin was pale and he was malodorous," according to a March 2008 Police Pension Fund report, which said he once saw a demon at Police Headquarters.
The report also says he acted "godlike" and lost 20 pounds in a few weeks as result of nonstop "contact with God," and says Maglione suffers from bipolar disorder, hyperreligiosity and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Sounds like he had a good exorcise program ;-)
Oooooh! Good one!!
Maglione suffers from bipolar disorder, hyperreligiosity and obsessive-compulsive disorder.An obsessive-compulsive bipolar cop can present a little problem...
Shoot, clean, attempt suicide - shoot, clean, attempt suicide - shoot, clean, attempt suicide .. etc, etc.The ammo, band-aid and gun cleaning costs would break the NYPD. As to his 'hyperreligiosity', I looked it up and right now the Medical Field can't decide on its spelling. BUT as they describe it basically -- the guy's fruit loop nuts and should be in a padded cell. (Has nothing to do with normal religious practice)
That being said, I can believe he saw a Demon at the PD HQ. It was prolly Bloomie.
No one can deny that Bloomie isn't a Demon!
ROTFLMAO! You win.
Friend of yours???
ha. no. don't know this guy. it takes all kinds i guess.
I think this issue is bigger than we think!
