I can't believe this guy is a cop and they allow him on NYPD and his Partners a piece of crap for backing him up on beating up a homeless person hope they both get fired..
It is atrocious behavior by cops who are already way outside the norm for human behavior. How many adults would readily strike another human being unless struck first? Physical violence like this is unacceptable and those who engage in it are not OK.
