You might remember I wrote about Nicholas Batka, the N Y cop who ploughed down four people on a sidewalk in Brooklyn a couple of days back. One of them died.
Batka is now a former police officer, out on $300,000 bail. I guess maybe he was still on probation as it is almost impossible to fire a cop in four days if they are not probationary, at least in most of the U.S.
Turns out Batka was out drinking with two other cops that night. Those two officers were stripped of their guns and badges and are now on “modified duty” pending further investigation. They were not with Batka when he crashed, but……
Batka refused the blood test when he was busted, but I don’t think it is going to matter much. The young man is in deep doodoo, and deserves to be there. If his cop buddies did nothing to discourage him from driving drunk, they may also get bit in the ass.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Batka was indeed a probationary officer. He is facing eight charges, including manslaughter.
