At least he didn't kill her

giggity?

"The NPD is a professional law enforcement agency and integrity is one of our main, core values," DeMaio said. "We will investigate any officer who violates the law he or she is sworn to uphold just as vigorously as we do any common criminal who preys on our city."

Well, I just didn't expect that..

he allegedly rammed his wife's 2011 Hyundai. The Hyundai was parked behind the woman's Buick which also sustained damage.

She got two cars in the separation? Might be a sign (besides the whole ramming thing) that this was a bitter divorce.

Good. Finally nailed that good apple everyone;s been talking about.

Ed Finnerty: Considering his intentions, he should've stolen a Dodge.

RAM it!

Why Soitenly! You wouldn't expect him to ruin his own car, would you? He may be a jerk, but he's not stoopid! Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck!

I'm a little confused on how this is receiving stolen property and not grand theft auto.

Obviously a zero tolerance policy would have be effective here

Ed Finnerty: Grimm2785: I'm a little confused on how this is receiving stolen property and not grand theft auto.

Because the keys were in the tailpipe. Obscure loophole.

What law is that? I was under the assumption that if you take something that does not belong to you, its called theft. Doesn't matter how easy the owner makes it for the thief.

When my house was burglarized, they charged some of the kids that did it with "receiving stolen property" even though they outright stole it. It's a chain of possession issue. It's easier to prove that you were in possession of stolen property than it is that you stole the property. The issue is that he could say (however implausible it sounds) that someone else stole the truck and gave it to him. It's really dumb, but I understand very common if they find the thief more than like 15 minutes after the theft took place. The more time elapses, the more likely they'll use the "receiving stolen property" charge. Plus he's a dirty cop, so he probably gets special treatment.

I'm just kidding. Struck me as odd that he told the driver to leave the keys in the tailpipe. Almost Axel Foley-ish.

I just watched that movie today too. The last two paragraphs are a joke

On Friday, Gonzalez was charged with criminal mischief and receiving stolen property, according to the Essex County Prosecutor's Office, which is aiding in the investigation. Gonzalez is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 15.

"The NPD is a professional law enforcement agency and integrity is one of our main, core values," DeMaio said. "We will investigate any officer who violates the law he or she is sworn to uphold just as vigorously as we do any common criminal who preys on our city."

So he was found driving erratically in a vehicle that didn't belong to him and was let go. Then he uses the vehicle that he stole while abusing using his authority, rams the vehicle into another vehicle, then files a false police report. If anyone else did this, i seriously doubt that's all they would be charged with.

But Gonzalez allegedly copped an attitude when he made his report, leading Garfield police to call their Newark counterparts and lodge a complaint.

I'd like to know how much of an attitude he copped for the other cops to call yet other cops.

DeRosso: "The NPD is a professional law enforcement agency and integrity is one of our main, core values," DeMaio said. "We will investigate any officer who violates the law he or she is sworn to uphold just as vigorously as we do any common criminal who preys on our city."

Well, I just didn't expect that..

Me neither. For so long they've "protected their own", but all it's ever done is ruined their own reputation with the community. Finally, a Police Department gets it. Rather than protecting their own, they need to hold their own to a higher standard and aggressively punish any of their own that break that standard.

That's the only way Law Enforcement is going to regain the respect they once had, instead of the mistrust they've gained by protecting criminals and thugs within their own ranks.

The way I understand it is this. If it can be excused...say a cop going over 100 when late for another job and not immediately pulling over...It should have been handled internally.

When it crosses the line into something someone might get several years of prison time for and it hits the media, it is clearly a problem the the LEO needs to lose his/her job.

This may vary by department and a DWI may be a reason for termination in one department, but is excusable in another. Overall the question is
1-Is it a serious felony?
2-Has it it the media?
3-Is it a PR problem related to either of the above?

It's a reference from 'the wrong guy'. A very under-rated Dave Foley movie. He is looking for random name and chooses hospital supplies from a hospital room.

Thanks, I am now imaging a naked middle-aged white guy in a Tom Wolfe hat sliding around with glistening egg white all over his body.

Officer Gonzalez, I don't think you thought your cunning plan all the way through ...

I know a former nypd officer who got the fark out of that den of thieves cause there was so much crookedness going on he was afraid he'd get caught up in a big mess if it ever became exposed.

It never did. All the supposed good cops allowed the crooks to keep on keeping on.

Cops are scum.

This is how we do it.

Ed Finnerty: Considering his intentions, he should've stolen a Dodge.

Actually, Ram is now a make in and of itself.

I wonder how much he's gotten away with.

he wanted to show his wife he cares- enough to not screw up his own vehicle.
