The overzealous NYPD cops who arrested an on-duty mailman for shouting at them have been placed on desk duty, the NY Daily News reports.
Lt. Luis Machado who oversaw the three plainclothes cops that arrested postal employee Glen Grays was relieved of his gun and badge.
Machado and the three cops were driving recklessly in an unmarked police car when they nearly sideswiped Grays’ mail truck in Brooklyn.
The officers exited the car and got into a shouting match with Grays who was out delivering mail.
It should have ended there, but the hotheaded cops arrested Grays under a trumped up “resisting arrest” charge.
After video of Grays’ arrest went viral, the Internal Affairs Bureau launched an investigation.
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said he had “strong concerns” about the officers’ actions.
“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.
Patrick Lynch, head of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, blamed Grays for the officer’s actions.
“Everyone, including the police commissioner, should withhold public comment until all the facts are in,” Lynch said.
“No one ever has the right to resist arrest,” Lynch added. “Compliance is not optional.”
Grays, who is married to a city cop, wants an apology.
“Honestly speaking, we’re all human, we all make mistakes, but lately a lot of mistakes have been made by police officers,” Grays said.
Desk duty = vacation with pay?
Still it’s better than them not getting “reprimanded” at all.
?
“No one ever has the right to resist arrest,” Lynch added. “Compliance is not optional.”
^^^^
His charge was fake tho? FOMF.
these edomites..I tell ya……@sandra can you un-Ban my cousin, so we can get a word in about these edomites?
Is Redeemed your cousin?
AMBER ALERT
A 5′ 2″ woman with purple and black dreads snatched a baby boy from the food court at a Pennsylvania mall today. What I don’t understand is how she got 10 feet away without the mama dragging her by her dreads? What was the mama doing?
Or Sybil
yep…lol
you wrong…lol
dang that’s messed up
How is Redeemed? I didn’t know she was banned. Why haven’t you been holding down the Apocrypha fort in her absence?
Chile…
honey , you know I aint doing all that..lol
Redeemed is in Brazil right now
I want to know what “city cop” means. Is his wife an NYPD cop with a gun or is she an NYPD auxiliary employee that just writes parking tickets??
I can only imagine what the job was like when she went in the next day.
Brazil doesn’t have Edomites? They on the approved travel list? Which tribe are they in?
Right! That Blue Wall is made of steel, I tell ya!
My GAWD!
Your dog’s wiiiiiiiiiig. Are those pearls and a boucle’ skirt and jacket? That bish is looking like Jackie O’Nasty.
I’m about to cry.
I. Can’t.
I swear I have tears in my eyes.
Brazilians I think are from the Tribe of…..you know what I aint even sure what tribe don’t quote me
Don’t hype her up. That bish likes to flex.

Oh, okay.? You better study up before you bring your cousin back. DeeDee spits chapter and verse of that fire and brimstone. You gotta do better.
Grays wants an apology.
“Honestly speaking, we’re all human, we all make mistakes, but lately a lot of mistakes have been made by police officers”……….
Here we go the black passive,’ I forgive u sir ‘Man…… smdh, typical I want an apology even if u dont mean it……just STUPID….
Translation:
“Do not resist a bogus arrest, even if you realize some corrupt cop is about to unjustly stick you with an arrest record, which could negatively impact your career options and other aspects of your life for decades to come. If you do resist, you could end up like Eric Garner. Remember Eric Garner!”
*clears throak* calling Dubb, Dubb???
The real serious question is… would this man have been released, the officers reprimanded, and an apology given by the Police Commissioner if this incident had NOT been caught on video?
I think the answer is a definite NO!
Which leads to the next question… how many thousands of black men are in jail now or have been jailed in the past in similar situations like this where there was no camera-phone video available to help them get justice?
&…… Many, Many More…………..
But La Chihuahua is wearing Chanel. I bet she has on Keyshia’s chain-link fence Jimmy Choo’s stiletto heels for pooches ?
What I totally respected of him (CLEARLY BIGGER PERSON THAN I) is that he stated he didn’t even want to them to lose their jobs & just give an apology…Said they had families & kids to provide for as he, thus he wouldn’t want them fired…FOR ME & MINE…STRAIIIGHT OPRAH ON EM, LOL…
Exactly. The charge was fake to begin with. I hope the mail carrier sues the police department and if the post office didn’t back him up, sue them too and retire.
People forget that especially in NY becoming a cop is the only resort for stability for the most ignorant and bigoted and violent of white trash with Good Enough Diplomas. And for their white trash female neighborhood girls landing a cop is the most successful thing they’ll ever achieve in life. And the ignorant cycle continues through racist white trash procreation and police department nepotism.
Police officer should be educated and socially conscious. Not adrenaline driven racists.
OMG………What a precious little baby………my goodness, I hope that the police find him alive & healthy………..
I think he saying that because his wife is a cop.
No words on Beyonce dropping a bomb video about new Athletic wear IVY PARK?
Lululemon tweet about how she copied and the Beehives are clapping back
She’s capitalising everyway she can! Always on a thursday night….
Folks better not go to Red Lobster in this outfit ????
…ALLLLL THAT YOU HAVE SAID, SADLY BUT SIMPLY SUMMED UP…
And she need to get out of that mess, that’s no place for a woman.. Running and chasing, overgrown men , shooting, and fighting…..
NO, Nope, NOT
I had this happen to me. Long story, cops got cursed out by the judge at arraignment and solicitor through out case because the officers lied on official paper work to get a warrant for my arrest for not giving them my ID which the assholes had seen like a hundred times when they pulled me over hundred times. Cops.are just petty like that.
On her phone
The names go on and on and on and on…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..Some never even got a chance to resist.

+100 ! And his wife is a cop too… That makes a difference I believe.
Bastards! ?
@Lisa – The mama was really on the phone? This is horrible?
That was really sad! But, they keep on exposing themselves, this was not some guy with a criminal rap sheet, running from them with a shiny object in his hand, they were cold-busted! I love New Yorkers, they called the cops out! This is a prime example of citizen or black activism in the streets! Otherwise, this guy might have ended up with the usual s u i ci de as cause of death! These people may have very well kept this man alive! This goes to show, for me, that the dislike for black men has more to do with the perception (many times true, sometime not) of their member endowment, excellence in sports, and the way whyte, black, and brown women go after them on any level! Like the film In the Heat of the Night with Sidney Poitier, not much has changed since the making of this classic!
If his fiancée wasn’t a cop would he be so docile!? The hell with an apology when now you have a damn record for a bogus arrest. It may say dismissal but he still has it! Black ppl stop being so forgiving to a system that doesn’t give you ANY passes!
Do they sell those at the beauty supply store? If not, then no. That bish is less than basic.
And the whole time they are saying, “stop resisting arrest”, despite the fact that he is clearly not resisting. I really think they receive informal training on that tactic, it’s said/done too often by too many different cops…
All kinds of craziness this evening….
American Greed – Ray Nagin he was really BIg Pimpin….He sold and threw the city under the bus for his own gain.
~faints~
The positive thing out of this is that the man is still alive! No chokehold death, “suicide”, or shot in the back while being unarmed. I don’t think all police are bad but the ones who are definitely make it hard to trust them.
Some of those boys in blue do too dayum much. Smartphones are so helpful nowadays and yet some cops still think they are the law knowing folks won’t hesitate to film now.
That “apology” better have a large monetary component. THe mail carrying is engaged to a cop, he is probably worried about her being targeted at work.
Everyone (especially folks that act like they don’t know they’re racist)
should read the book Blink by Malcolm Gladwell… ???
Wait, so it took 4 of them to arrest the damn mail man???? Who wasn’t carrying a weapon, AND they left the mail truck to block traffic?!!!!
I hope not BUT all I ever see is folks ignoring their children with their face in their phone. ???
I’m glad cellphones weren’t like they are now when I had the littles…
What type of chit is this?!?!
Jesus lord, yes, I still get off the phone at store. Besides I am shopping and that’s serious business.
But I was obsessed with holding on to my child. I didn’t want nobody coming near us. The folks be like iono want your baby. GOOD get out our face.
SR! They found the baby SAFE!!!!
Hallelujah
Good ??
Whew Yes!!!
PREACH!
*Sniggles*
Bye Chile!
*joins Elizabeth*
Resiting arrest ,” the suspect had a weapon” and “I feared for my life” ( Really POS you have a damn gun!) Are three of the most commonly used excuses by the THUGS IN BLUE.
Aztec? I was an Aztec Princess once bc Redeemed said it. So I was like heyyyyy. Changed my screen name and everything.
? Yes, you did.
I was a proud Azteca.
His uniform acted as a shield.
They want to put our black men in the system soooo bad! Things like this happen all the time and it ruins lives of those who don’t have spokesman to stick up for them. Three of my little brothers had these same charges trumped up on them. They called the police because 2 girls ran up in my fathers house and jumped on my brothers bm. The police came on our property and immediately started harassing the boys. When they protested and tried to explain the reason why they called the police they were hit with resisting charges and put in jail and juvenile. No charges dropped either. Ohh and the actual criminals, the girls, weren’t pursued or arrested.
At least he’s alive. Cops are shooting these niccas daily
Right! They didn’t care about his job or his family… His wife could get another job over this type of injustice …shiiiid actually she should stay on the job and wait for the jerks to start harassing her then sue… Then find another job
I don’t know. I was just saying.
poor man was carrying a damn package for somebody. the usps should be outraged!
they know to say this when people are shooting video….
FUGG THAT!!!!
must be.
She better had been on a prayer call. My god that is awful
I would be Good to anyone…..noone
Assholes and that man should sue!

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. (WPVI) — The family gathered in prayer at the Upper Merion police station after they were reunited with the 7-week-old baby boy kidnapped from the King of Prussia Mall.
They found the Baby.
They also gound the sick arse women who took baby. Mental illness is bad, but she need her ass ehopped on gp. Then ho back to being crazy. The mama need to keep her ass out the mall unless she hot baby on snuggie on chest on back. Loved wearing my pumkin like that….knew exactly where he was.
I NEED TO CALL GRAMS FOR THE LOCAL TEA…
SMH
THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY??
YOU’RE ALL FIRED!
I KNOW. Wishful thinking.
I keep having this dream that an extension of the Drop Squad has a plan that is a NATIONAL plan: make a number of precincts disappear.
So some dumb bird in Tampa decided it was a good idea to bring in a stripper for her 8 year old son’s birthday party.? And the stripper actually gyrated in front of the kid while he slapped her azz and threw money on her. ? What is wrong with people?!
Heavenly Father, I thank you for this here Friday.
Yeah Sis….sad
Me too, Jesus! ?
It’s too damn early for mess and my coworkers are trying it. I’m supposed to start modifying my diet/lifestyle today but I’m feeling like today ain’t the day for it. LOL
i believe him because there have been enough times I seen plain clothes officers zooming down the streets of Flatbush like they above the law. They don’t like when ppl tell them about themselves you’re supposed to just let them do whatever cus they Nypd.But let’s face it dude will sue he will get money and the officers will get to keep their jobs.
They will be right back on the streets
And you CAN resist if it’s an unlawful arrest.
Patrick Lynch is a scumbag piece of garbage, and he doesn’t believe there’s such a thing as a cop that makes a mistake. He seems to believe that cops are some sort of elevated status that make them gods to us mere mortals. While his position may be to defend cops, he makes it MUCH harder when he defends unlawful or illegal acts by bad cops and then blames the victim who was innocent all along.
This isn’t f-ing North Korea, Patrick Lynch. Eat a bag of D’s.
PSSSSH DIET, SMIET! START MONDAY
?????
I love American Greed! I haven’t seen this episode yet but it sounds a bit like the Kwame Kilpatrick episode. Had me smh the entire time. Wait…all the episodes have me smh.
LOL. Probably. I need to stop buying lettuce and having to throw it away.
Morning, is that you in the profile pic? If it is you have a beautiful smile. Seeing the pic always makes me smile back.
So essentially he got arrested for being an “uppity” negro and talking back to a white man in authority.
We all know that “talking back” to a cop can end up being a death sentence for a black man in America.
GIRL MAKE ME SMILE WIDER WHY DON’T YOU?! TIS INDEED MY MUG! THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENT!!
EVERYBODY SMILE! IT’S FRY-DAY!!!!
SOUNDS LIKE ME AND FRUIT RIGHT NOW…LE SIGH. I’M A WORK IN PROGRESS THO…PROGRESS FOR THE SAKE OF PROGRESS AND CHIT.
Friday is NEVER the day to modify your diet. Who wants to eat bird food at the start of the weekend. Booo! And put your headphones on and ignore your coworkers.
TOO WORLDLY…INSTEAD OF MORE GODLY. FOLKS JUST DON’T WANT TO DO RIGHT…AT ALL!
Absolutely. I’ll buy it go hard for like a day or 2 then completely forget it. I’ve stopped buying it for the most part because I’ve been so wasteful as of late.
I had fries yesterday… I’m supposed to eat them again today?
YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
You don’t just harass a man on his fuking job! Da fvk?
Honestly for me, no day is the day so I picked the first of the month. I can’t ignore them because I’m on the phone with them all dayum day.
YOU KNOW WHAT? YES. EAT FRIES AND BE MERRY. LOL
Nah, I can’t eat more today. Admittedly I’ve eaten so many different things lately, I think I want a salad. It’s Armageddon.
It’s great that he’s choosing to be the bigger person, but their actions could have resulted in him losing HIS job.
They absolutely deserve to lose their jobs. Otherwise they will continue to abuse their authority.
What bothers me most is that these officers are plainclothes.
How is a civilian supposed to know they are officers?
Hell people impersonate officers by buying police uniforms from Ebay.
At least this didn’t turn out as badly as the Amadou Diallo incident.
LYSG: Brazil doesn’t have Edomites? They on the approved travel list? Which tribe are they in?
^^^triple dead^^^^
say that shit!! #NOTHINGBUTTHETRUTH
Nagin was a Republican before he became a Democrat so he could run for mayor of NOLA.
#WhiteMansWorld
This was disgusting. A Black man who is making an honest living gets arrested while working because their egos were hurt? This has got to stop, I hope he sues the ying yang out of NYPD!!!
And he’s married to a cop. Can you imagine the craziness she might be experiencing?
A lot of cops are pssy’s so they hide their cowardness behind the badge. The badge gives them strength and power and if U are not on the job to serve and protect the citizens then U are there to harass them and that’s unlawful and fked up!
These white and Hispanic cops did what they wanted to do all their lives, run up on a black man and fk with them just bcuz they can. All I know is this type of Fkery gots to stop but until they stop giving racist cowards a badge this shiit is going to continue.
Noooooo! Omg! What is wrong with these low life parents? Now the poor little boy will continue to view women as objects?Why Lordt? Why?
Maine! When is this going to stop? Dude was just on his route doing his job. So disheartening. Smh!
Qtna –Did anyone secure the U.S. mail truck? Or is this why ma dukes and Dem check missing?
I SLID YOU SOME PEPTO ACROSS THE E-CUBICLE :THUMBSUP:
It’s alleged me and group of friends went to a party he hosted. That’s all I remember …kona
It’s Pat Lynch who thinks the police are alway 100% right, he is a poor leader
Exactly! They are starting him down the wrong path.
How ironic….I know she’s beyond pissed. It’s sad, that these are the times we are living in.
THANK GOD FOR CELL PHONE CAMERAS!!!!!!!!!!
They should definitely have to have mental evaluations….
that top pic look a lot like Scrappy
Evidence of the system of racism white supremacy
Crazy!!!!!
I was right. She was on her phone. Sucks to be right.
Yeah when a baby is kidnapped. Glad he is safe.
This just goes to show how corrupt NYPD and not knowing the laws themselves…USPS is federal and when on duty can not touched or arrested…the video clearly shows they overstepped their boundaries because he yelled at them for almost hitting him….resisting arrest is the first thing cops yell regardless if you’re complying with the cops….just because NYPD won’t punish their own don’t mean the feds want charge them
Lawsuit! lawsuit! This is just ridiculous! Fella can’t even do his job without some foolishness!
Preach!
Lawsuit! lawsuit! was a warning to the cops. A lawyer would have just stayed quiet and counted the money in his head. Read online what happened to the cops who arrested Glen Grays.
this is a test
