73. how do you know what he identified?

Wed Oct 9, 2013, 01:16 AM

Oct 2013

He was arrested for lying about his involvement in the attack on the SUV and the fact that he was involved in attacking the SUV since he was the one that broke out the back window. It had nothing to do with his being just part of this ride. As I said, there was no reason for him to have participated in the attack of the vehicle or its occupants in order to preserve his cover. And GOOD that he was arrested for that and for lying about it. That has nothing to do with whether or not he was on or off duty, and since he said he was trying to preserve his cover than it's logical that he WAS on duty assigned to infiltrate this group. Assigning undercover officers to infiltrate the group would have been the smartest thing for the NYPD to do in attempting to identify and arrest as many bikers as they could seeing as they were unable to catch them any other way especially since they weren't permitted to give chase since the bikers are on machines that are able to get away and they drive like total lunatics as well as not having legally registered plates (either the plates are taken off or they're stolen).

It's apparent that he was assigned to infiltrate this group since he said he was trying to preserve his cover which he'd have no reason to do if he was just off duty and voluntarily riding with these bikers, and articles mention that he usually worked assignments in narcotics... in other words he was assigned to infiltrate this group which was not his more usual assignments.

why would they drop the charges against the biker who punched the rear window? DrDan Oct 2013 #2

I think they are one and the same. janlyn Oct 2013 #10

that certainly would be reasonable DrDan Oct 2013 #17

If he didn't damage property, or a person, what would be the crime? nt msanthrope Oct 2013 #11

"punched the rear window" - would agree with you if no damage was done while DrDan Oct 2013 #18

That is considered a Road Rage incident and would get me instantly arrested if I did it. Ikonoklast Oct 2013 #38
