Police Have A Tough Job
That apparently includes harrassing abuse victims at their fellow officers’ arraignment:
A Brooklyn tattoo artist clapped sarcastically and blew kisses Tuesday after being taunted by supporters of the NYPD officer accused of sodomizing him with a baton.
Michael Mineo, 24, faced off with cops when they berated him with an anti-gay epithet in a courtroom.
“I relive this every day,” Mineo said. “I’m too young to be going through this. Nobody should be going through this.”
Police Officer Richard Kern was formally charged with attacking Mineo and two other cops were accused of covering up the Oct. 15 subway station attack.
Mineo, who stared down the three accused cops at their arraignment, got into a standoff with plainclothes cops, who called him a “f—-t,” said Mineo’s lawyer, Kevin Mosley.
Perhaps we’d be less likely to believe allegations of stick-sodomizing if some police didn’t act like such homophobes.
