Why is it that whenever hookers are busted, THEIR faces get splashed all over the news (sometimes mongers, too).

Yet when these pedos get busted, we can't see who THEY are? Something inherently unfair about that.

Cuomo fixed that for them!

Now thanks to that fucked up libtard logic, mugshots will no longer be posted as public info.

So much for the deterrent factor.

Fuck this state!!

I think pics of those guys do make it to news media. Plus of course when put on sex registry not only pics available but lot of other info, so these guys can't really hide.

That alone is reason enough for the cop to lose his badge, IMO. It is the height of irresponsibility.

Put aside for a minute the fact that the guy was a cop. Put the whole Utica shooting incident aside for a minute.

Everyone you know who drives including you, or is a passenger in a motor vehicle including you, has their lives and safety endangered and jeopardized whenever someone gets behind the wheel drunk or high.

I recall attending a funeral for a two year old girl killed by a drunk driver. A visibly angry pastor residing over the service commented that if there was any justice, there would be a special place in hell for people who drove drunk.

If you, like I, have ever suffered the experience of losing a loved one to drunk driving, than you probably hope he was right.

I certainly do.

Yup agree with you on that. Have lost family and also attended coworker kids funerals. Cop driving drunk is especially bad.

Guess one point trying to make is equal justice under the law. Didn't that woman who is #2 person in Troy government just have dwi? Embarrassed for a few days and no consequences thereafter, certainly didn't lose her job. Probably countless other celebs, sports figures, politicians that we can think of with similar outcomes. Need tougher laws and courts, ongoing societal problema.

He was at Turning Stone before seeing her so it would be a short drive. Still no reason to bring a firearm into that situation. I would leave it in the car and use my big head to extract myself from the situation.

As a cop, he is a coward and feels like he needs his gun to make up for his other shortcomings. He also figured that as a cop he could shoot anyone and claim to be afraid and everything would sort itself out. He was sort of correct, as he didn't get in any trouble for killing a human being, he got in trouble for drinking and driving.

There is an hour and a half driving distance between Albany and Utica. Plenty of time for a person of sound mind to consider the consequences of the act he is about to commit, particularly if the act is illegal and the person is a L. E. O. Not everyone is suited for the job. Whether it is fair or not, L. E. O. Are held to higher standards than the rest of us, but not everyone is capable of upholding those standards. The vetting process for these cops is deficient. This case is proof of that. Not everyone is fit to wear a badge.

Does anyone know whether he identified himself as a police officer when the intruder entered?

Does anyone know whether he made any attempt to de-escalate and / or de-fuse the situation?

Does anyone know whether he used any means to disarm intruder before firing?

There seems to be a lot of speculation as to what happened-has anyone actually seen or heard any reports, statements, testimony? There also seems to be a lot of willingness to place blame everywhere except where it actually belongs. The pimp already paid for his part in the ordeal. But-I don't buy the whole "lapse of judgement" thing as it pertains to who set this whole chain of events in motion to begin with. As HE, and HE alone, could have avoided the entire event from occurring in the first place.

He shouldn't have had all of that cash on him, for sure, but he'd've been smart to have some of it and to consider letting them have it. As you point out, we all can get taken, one way or another, at some point in this game. He was set up, it was a rip-off, but he could've protected himself from what he had to do instead, remember the more important things in his life, and let them win a small one this time. Or, maybe, they'd've killed him after robbing him? I'd bet not, but only he was there to know.

A low profile IS worth more than some may think. Some people may say, "I've got nothing to lose," but I've never met anyone who actually HAD nothing to lose. We all have SOMEthing to lose.

Sounded like he had been drinking quite a lot so his reasoning miget have been a bit cloudy, plus of course he had cop's instincts to react. Don't know proximity and all that was happening, but apparently pulling a gun and either trying to arrest the guy or even just scare him away wasn't viable option. Think guy had bad lawyer or union, outcome harsh lose job for couple of misdemeanors assuming shooting justified, which is sounds like it was. Politics.

It's cheap to second guess and wouldn't expect anyone in his position to do otherwise but if he had turned over money? I know it's impossible to predict the extent and how it all went down. Many of us have been ripped off, maybe not at knife point, a low profile can be worth thousands. Sometimes keeping the money isn't worth the potential alternative outcome.

It cost him his job and a DWAI conviction. It may be possible to view this as a somewhat favorable outcome for him, it certainly could have been much worse. I guess it resolves itself as a shrewd plea negotiation, but his life has been changed in some of the most significant ways. And I imagine that there are more changes of a personal nature yet to come for the guy.

It seemed unlikely that he'd ever be able to hold onto that job after what happened that night. They were, most likely, going to come after his job, no matter how the matter was resolved in Utica, if only to preserve their own image.

It highlights the dire consequences that could happen as the result of a momentary lapse of judgment with respect to this pursuit. Paycheck, generous pension, Cadillac health benefits, a clean criminal record: the list of losses is a long one.

Did you see the quote attributed to Albany County sheriff Craig Apple regarding CL and BP? I think that dipshit is a little behind the times.

I'm ok with that. Let him monitor BP and CL all he wants. That's a good place for him! Glad to hear it. .
