NYPD OFFICERS SUSPENDED FOR IGNORING FATAL PURSUIT CRASH

By Bob Walsh

 

The 50th Precinct cops were patrolling the north Bronx early Wednesday when they spotted the 2025 Honda CRV – potentially taken as part of a stolen car ring – and trailed it on the southbound Henry Hudson Parkway into Inwood, with their emergency lights on for a portion of the chase, the sources said. Bronx cops on midnight patrol spotted the stolen car and chased it until it ended in fiery Manhattan crash — and they left suspect to die in flames

 

Two New York Police Department uniformed officers are now under suspension for being really, really stupid.  They were in pursuit of a stolen SUV in Manhattan on Wednesday of last week.  The SUV crashed into a building and caught fire.  The officers, from the 50th Precinct in the Bronx, are alleged to have simply left the scene without reporting the incident or stopping to give assistance.  The driver died in the wreck.  The officers finished their shift as if nothing had occurred.  Their marked car was caught on traffic cams in the area. 

The NYPD has recently ordered that cops NOT chase people who merely flee ordinary traffic stops.  This went into effect back in February.

I find it difficult to understand how the officers could possibly think they would get away with something like this, even at 0500.

The dead drivers exact cause of death has yet to be determined.
