1. The Cult members are everywhere.

Scary.

[JDC]

2. Fuuuck that. Not ok.

Female officer?

[Nevilledog]

3. Or a male that overplucks his eyebrows.

[Blue_true]

9. Not surprising.

It is the “blue wall, us against them” mentality. That has to change, both for police safety and citizen safety.

[electric_blue68]

4. Geeeebs! 😯 😠 Yeah, Staten Island OR parts of Brooklyn.

[Cozmo]

26. Brooklyn/Kings

[electric_blue68]

27. Sorry, I don't get it...

[Cozmo]

28. Brooklyn Kings Cty

[electric_blue68]

29. Ah, ok 👍

[Karma13612]

35. Very ProTrump area

AFAIK

[electric_blue68]

36. Oh, I know. ... That parts of Brooklyn and Staten island...

are quite conservative.

Less concentration of that in Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx (not nothing, but less)

[Cha]

5. Rt TY.. is that Not against Regulations?

[lapucelle]

15. It is against regulations. What's odd to me is that someone on twitter is identifying the cop

as Dana Martillo based on the name plate. That's not Dana Martillo's badge number.

https://www.capstat.nyc/officer/p62208/

Dana Martillo is the only "Martillo" in the capstat data base, and the badge number in the picture brings up no results in a search of the data base.


MAHALO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cha]

18. Hmmm.. Wonder what's going

on?.. bc that's a blatant disregard for the rules from somebody.

Good to see you, lapucelle!

[Chellee]

24. Martillo is listed as a Sergeant.

This person is also a Sergeant. I don't understand the badge number difference though.

[orleans]

34. maybe one in pic is not a cop nt

[lapucelle]

40. Multiple uniform violations, shield number and name plate mismatch, wrong patch on the sleeve...

I wonder where and when the picture was taken.

[lapucelle]

38. The patch on the sleeve above the sergeant stripes is wrong too.

Capstat lists Martillo as with the transit authority division.

[Celerity]

33. I do not know if this helps, BUT badge number 2415 did belong to a Kevin Maloney

he was a Lieutenant, so was a Sergeant at one time

and THIS is why I bring it up

Real Cops Allegedly Let Cop Impostor Drive Cop Car, Attend Roll Calls

https://gothamist.com/news/real-cops-allegedly-let-cop-impostor-drive-cop-car-attend-roll-calls

A lieutenant with the NYPD is being investigated for allowing a known cop impersonator to masquerade as an actual cop, including letting him drive a patrol car and attend precinct roll calls.

According to the Daily News, Thomas Georgevitch, who is not a cop, was allowed nearly unfettered access to the 52nd Precinct in the Bronx by an actual cop, Lieutenant Kevin Maloney.

Though Georgevitch was busted in December for keeping a collection of imitation pistols, ammo and badges, it is Maloney who is now under investigation for apparently enabling Georgevitch's bizarre cop fantasies, prompting other officers in the precinct to contact a lawyer.

"It appears that he is playing police officer and it was condoned by this lieutenant," Eric Sanders, the lawyer obtained by the police, told the tabloid. "It's alarming and it doesn't seem the police department is concerned about it."

The Internal Affairs Bureau is currently investigating claims that Georgevitch was often seen driving Maloney around in a radio car, and more stunning still, that Georgevitch was even seen driving it around unaccompanied.

Thus far, Maloney has only been issued a command discipline for allowing an "unauthorized ride-along in a department vehicle." Ride-alongs do not generally entail the guest driving the car by him or herself.

Some Real Cops were surprised to learn that Georgevitch was not one of them. Others, however, "knew him as a former employee of a police equipment store on nearby Webster Avenue."

This is not Georgevitch's first brush with pretending to be the law. He was arrested for the same offense in 1996 after calling into a radio show, identifying himself as "a security guard at a state government office" and requesting the song "Secret Agent Man."

A detective listening knew Georgevitch was wanted, and arrested him at the station.

42. Do you have a link to the badge number? N/T

[Celerity]

44. It is in that post, at the bottom, look at the url nt

[lapucelle]

48. I get no results when I search that badge number.

49. When I type in the url in your capture, I get something different.

Here's your link:

50. No that is the same thing, look at the bottom, it shows Maloney, my snapshot just cut off the top

[Celerity]

51. My theory is that perhaps Maloney (who has a history of aiding fake cops) gave that bloke in the pic

an old badge of his (from when he was still a sergeant) and the they just switched name bars on the bottom of the badge to a fake name or to the imposter's name.

It is just a stab in the dark, NOT saying at all that is what happened.

[Karadeniz]

6. She'll be gone.

[trc]

20. The police union will not allow that.

[Karadeniz]

30. Darn...I forgot about that.

[theneworiginal]

46. This is a clear and serious violation of Ethics Laws.

These kinds of things are not tolerated very well.

Public servants must have an Undivided Loyalty at all times. Cops can't drive squad cars advertising Tide. They can't ask for donations for Trump or technically even a charity while in uniform.

Mixing politics with work in my Union will get you about as close to immediate termination as you can get. I saw a manager disappear from office within one week of requesting political donations in the workplace. Gone for good.

[Baked Potato]

7. Forgive the officer, those are "symbols of the past."

*sarcastically presented*

[Crunchy Frog]

8. Terrorist behind a badge.

[lapucelle]

10. Sgt. Dana Martillo's badge number is 26835, not 2415.

https://www.capstat.nyc/officer/p62208/

[soldierant]

25. An imposter?

Or the actual person deliberately wearing a wrong badge number?

I assume none of us knows Dana Martillo personally and can make an identification one way or the other from the photo.

It does require investigation, but I agree, there are better exercises than jumping to conclusions.

[cwydro]

37. But, but...if it's on Twitter it must be real, right?

[Nevilledog]

45. Here's video

11. I think it's kind of good that they are showing who they are

It makes it easier to get them fired or have someone keep an eye on them. I'm scared of all the smart cops and military personal who hide their toxic beliefs though. I think those types are far more dangerous

[blueinredohio]

12. That looks like a woman to me and

looks different than the ones behind her.

[bdamomma]

13. That's

not very comforting, the invasion of the Body Snatchers

[Bluethroughu]

14. Should be fired! Enough with the death skull traitor crap.

[blogslut]

16. Of course they're wearing their mask like and asshole

because of course

[lindysalsagal]

17. Women frumpers bother me the most.

I want to believe women would have empathy for each other. But hate is more powerful, sadly.

[choie]

19. I live in manhattan

What the hell are they protesting?

[MyMission]

52. They want a cop fired, who drew his gun at protesters

The officer, whose last name is Martillo according to their badge ID seen in several videos, was part of a group of officers responding to a protest outside Brooklyn's 84th Precinct Friday evening. The demonstration was organized in support of a move to fire one of the precinct's officers, Artem Prusayev, whom protesters reportedly claimed had pointed a gun at them as they demanded he wear a mask during protest last month.

I was born and raised in NYC, Manhattan and Brooklyn,so I pay attention to news reports from there. Left almost 20 years ago, but still have close friends there.

[SheltieLover]

21. Mask hole

[LiberalLovinLug]

22. that is some scary looking merch

Trump is making a killing, literally.

They are fetishizing his strange hair. Almost like Hitler's moustache. Bizzare.

I never thought I'd see the day when a whiny entitled narcissistic reality TV star born with a silver spoon, who perpetually broke the law with scam universities and charities, and gawd knows what other white collar crimes, would be so revered by both the Christian right, and the police as well.

[radius777]

32. All (Trump/religious right/police) have the same mentality,

that of authoritarianism combined with a victim/hero complex. They tend not to follow the rules/laws/morals themselves although they expect 'others' to do so.

[JI7]

39. Those particular police and the xtian right are the same type of people

[SunSeeker]

23. K & R for exposure.

[uponit7771]

31. Fuckin 😲

[yardwork]

41. Hope a journalist is looking into this.

[lapucelle]

43. The guy who posted the tweet didn't witness this. He found the pictures in a story on Telegram.
