"Earlier this week,
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said he had “strong concerns” about the officers’ actions.
Machado and his team —
Police Officers Lazo Lluka,
Miguel Rodriguez and
David Savella — were immediately pulled from the elite conditions unit they were assigned to, Bratton said.
“I am very interested in the charge that was made against this individual, what he was arrested for and the validity of that,” Bratton said Tuesday. “
Based on what I witnessed on the various videos
I've reviewed I have strong concerns about the charge against that individual."
Grays, whose fiancee is a city cop, told the
News Wednesday that he wants an apology from the officers.
He agrees that they should be disciplined, but they should not lose their jobs, he said.”*
