NYPD Cop Caught on Video Robbing Deli During Raid for Untaxed Cigarettes

Brooklyn, NY– New York Narcotics Detective Ian Cyrus has been suspended without pay and two sergeants have been placed on desk duty after the detective was caught on camera robbing a deli.

As four of Cyrus’ colleagues arrested two employees of the deli over the victimless crime of selling loose cigarettes, Cyrus decided to help himself to the store’s rent money which was in a box under the counter.

The manager of The Yemen Deli and Grocery, Ali Abdullah, was given a receipt saying $593 had been seized from the cash register as well as packs of cigarettes as evidence. There was no mention of the money from the cash box.  After reviewing the CCTV footage Abdullah saw that an officer had reached down and grabbed it and placed the cash in his pocket.

Upon seeing this, the manager immediately called the police department who sent a supervisor to the deli to review the footage.

As we saw after the death of Eric Garner, the NYPD has apparently made it their mission to waste their time, and therefore far more of our tax dollars, cracking down on this silly petty tax crime.

“Loosies,” are single cigarettes which many small mom and pop stores will sell for fifty cents to a dollar, illegally, as they are not taxed.  They have become increasingly popular with the taxes on cigarettes skyrocketing and much of America in poverty, making packs no longer affordable for many.

Sgt. Fritz Glemaud, who supervised the raid, and Sgt. Valerie Santos, who was allegedly told about the theft and failed to report the complaint, were put on desk duty with their guns and badges taken from them following the incident.

Sgt. Glemaud is no stranger to complaints. He is one of the most sued officers in the city, with 15 suits filed against him so far, all alleging civil rights violations. He has already cost the city around $500,000 in settlement payouts.  If the city is so concerned about taxes, firing officers who are costing taxpayers a half a million dollars might be more cost effective than cracking down on small stores losing the city a couple bucks a day.

Power Hungry New York Cops Arrest Teen for Playing Basketball – Video Proves They Lied on Report

Brockport, NY– An incident captured on camera Monday shows police arresting a teenager simply because he voiced his displeasure with police harassing him on the basketball court.

The 17-year-old is described as a quiet and good kid who never gets in trouble but was clearly distressed by the officers demands to leave the park, as the teens were simply having some wholesome fun.

When the teenagers were told to disperse, Bertino walked over to the bench to grab his belongings, but was clearly distraught that he was being forced to leave.

Deciding that teaching manners is now in the job description of police, Officer Cranston attempted to grab Bertino as he was following the order to exit the park, causing the teenager to pull away.

Bertino told the officer not to touch him, as he was not detained, and there was no justification for the officer to have his hands on him.  At this point, the officer tells him that he is under arrest and violently throws the barely 17-year-old to the ground with assistance from Officer Caitlin.  A third officer then rushes over to pile up on him.

    “The arresting officers lied on the police report saying my son threatened the officer and cursed at the officer. In the unedited video, you can plainly hear he never cursed at the officer,” Dante’s father, Jeremy Bertino, told The Free Thought Project.

Dante was charged with obstructing a government investigation, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.  His father obtained a copy of the police report and maintains that the video proves the police lied.  He plans to file a formal complaint on behalf of his son.

    “They messed with the wrong guy’s son. I am very informed of the laws and our rights and how they are trampled on daily,” his father stated.  “If everyone just keeps allowing the cops to violate our rights it will only get worse.  We have to take a stand against the tyranny that is being allowed daily in this country by us citizens. The cops are trained to violate our rights for their arrest quotas.”

Brockport Police Chief, Daniel Varrenti, spoke to local news channel WROC and defended the officers, even though he had not taken the time to watch the video before commenting to the press.

    “I think the officers acted accordingly, if someone here in the Village of Brockport wants to come here and challenge a police officer’s lawful orders, they will be arrested,” Varrenti stated.  “They chose not to disperse.  They chose to resist arrest. They chose to obstruct governmental administration. Those were their choices. Had they just dispersed, we wouldn’t be here today.”

Cop Who Shot and Killed 7-Year-Old Girl While Filming a Reality Show is a Police Officer Again

Detroit, MI– Officer Joseph Weekley had not been on the force since 2010 when he shot a sleeping child in the head during a botched raid executed on the wrong home.

The raid was being filmed for an episode of The First 48, and many believe the excessive tactics used were employed simply to create drama and excitement for the camera. Unfortunately, a beautiful little girl, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, 7, lost her life because of his reckless and violent actions.

Officer Weekely has now been reinstated to the force, according to Detroit Police Chief James Craig. As part of the department’s integration program, Weekely will return to the department in a non-field position, but the chief has allowed for the possibility for him to eventually go back into the field, stating,

    “It’s tragic what happened to Aiyana, it’s tragic. Sometimes, we’re in a high-risk occupation, mistakes happen, and sometimes those mistakes result in tragedies, but we move on from that.”

Weekley was originally charged with felony involuntary manslaughter and misdemeanor careless discharge of a firearm causing death after young Aiyana took a fatal bullet to the head during a botched raid on her home.

The officer has already been on trial twice for this crime, both ending with deadlocked jurors and mistrials. The judge in the second trial shockingly dropped the manslaughter charge due to a motion by the defense. The same motion had been denied by a judge during his first trial.

In January, Prosecutor Kym Worthy dismissed the case against the killer cop.

According to the officer, a fellow cop threw a flash-bang grenade through the window, which temporarily blinded Weekley, who had been first through the door. When the effects of the flash-bang wore off, he realized there was a person on the couch. Weekley aimed his weapon at the couch where the child was sleeping beneath a “Hanna Montana” blanket. He claims her grandmother, Mertilla Jones, smacked his MP5 submachine gun, causing him to pull the trigger and kill Aiyana.

Mertilla Jones disputes this claim and says that she reached for her granddaughter when the grenade came through the window, not for the officer’s gun. Jones asserts she did not make contact with an officer at any point during the assault on her home. Her fingerprints were not found on the weapon.

The family is now suing the city of Detroit, Officers Weekley and Rowe, The Detroit Police Department, and approximately 20 unidentified members of the Special Response Team, alleging a conspiracy to cover up details of the crime.

    “Upon Defendants realizing that they had critically injured the seven-year-old girl, they intentionally conspired to cover-up their unlawful acts by providing false and fictitious information to the authorities and to the media regarding the shooting of Aiyana Stanley-Jones, including falsely claiming that the bullet that killed her was fired from inside the lower unit of the duplex rather than from the outside…”
