NYPD Officer's Prejudice Rant Against Uber Driver Gets Him Booted from Unit
- Duration: 4:11
- Updated: 02 Apr 2015
The NYPD officer whose xenophobic tirade against an Uber driver was captured on camera will pay for his actions by being transferred out of his special unit.
The New York Post reports that, as a result of the video, Det. Patrick Cherry has been relegated to desk duty within the NYPD's Joint Terrorism Task Force. Eventually, he'll be removed from the unit altogether. This comes after he was filmed screaming at an Uber driver who reportedly honked at him because he didn't signal while parking in the West Village on Monday.
According to the Post, Sanjay Seth, a passenger in the Uber, testified before the Civilian Complaint Review Board yesterday:
Just gave testimony to CCRB, Seth wrote Wednesday. The investigation is in their hands. Here’s to a quick, fair, and thorough resolution to this incident.
If a CCRB judge finds Cherry guilty of misconduct, he could end up with a permanent mark on his record, sources said. But any disciplinary action would be solely up to Bratton, who ultimately has final say.
The Post adds that NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton was disgusted with Cherry's behavior:
No good cop should watch that video without a wince, Commissioner Bill Bratton said at a Wednesday press conference. “Because all good cops know that officer just made their jobs a little bit harder.
In that kind of encounter, anger like that is unacceptable, Bratton continued. In any encounter, discourtesy and obscene language like that is unacceptable.
That officer’s behavior reflected poorly on everyone who wears our uniform.
