Let’s pretend you are a cop and you find a 14 year old high school freshman out egging cars on Halloween. Do you a) take the boy home, report his activities to his parents and let them handle the dicipline or b) drive him out to a swamp in the middle of nowhere and leave him in only his boxers and socks?
I think we all know I wouldn’t be posting this if the answer was A.
Officers Thomas Elliassen and Michael Danese caught the prankster throwing eggs at cars in a 120th Precinct neighborhood about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, the source said.
The cops drove the teen to a swampy area of the 122nd Precinct, dropped him off wearing only boxer shorts and socks and left, the source said. The boy, Rayshawn Moreno of Graniteville, walked to a Burlington Coat Factory store on South Ave. and asked a security guard there to call his parents, who picked him up, his dad said.
“Rayshawn was taken to a secluded, remote area, stripped of his clothes, beaten by the officers and left for dead,” said his father, James Hezel. The cops later told their supervisor that they dropped the kid off to scare him, the source said. They said they returned to find him later but that he was gone, the source said.
I understand they wanted to teach the prankster a lesson but why would you take a kid’s clothes? What kind of a sick douche bag gets a sense of satisfaction from using their power to make a kid strip? These kind of the things are the reason nobody likes the police. Just because you have a piece of metal and a gun doesn’t mean you can just invent punishments. I hope part of the “modified duty” these two cops were assigned to includes updating their resumes.
