An irate off-duty cop went wild and attacked a traffic agent for giving his girlfriend a ticket, but police decided it wasn't a felony - and ended up handcuffing the agent...And the crowd went wild.
"I had been writing tickets and people standing on the street were applauding when I got arrested," Celemi said.
Nothing like watching a camp guard administer a good beating to the resident Judendienstordnung collaborator to cheer up the inmates...
"I told him he didn't need to do that because I work for the NYPD just like he works for the NYPD," said Celemi...Yeah, no duh, Sherlock. Ultimately, there's no such thing as being a little bit "Only One". They may say they'll eat you last, but you'll be eaten nonethless--just as soon as your usefulness wears out.
Celemi's lawyer said traffic agents appear to be treated like a "subclass" in the NYPD.

When he ticketed the cop's GIRLFRIEND.
ReplyDeleteI guess you can't ticket their kids, their parents, brothers and sisters, their cousins, second cousins...
If we trace it back far enough, *I* might have a cop in the family. Can I claim immunity from TRAFFIC LAWS too?
Some traffic agents are just as overbearing, obnoxious, and rude as NYPD cops, and even civilian New Yorkers themselves. In fact,
ReplyDeletebeing rude and obnoxious is something New Yorkers are proud of, and they use every opportunity available to hone their skills.
This cop "Mata" is obviously unequipped for the typical New York battle of wits, and so fell back on the last refuge of the incompetent - violence.*

The pity is that Celemi wasn't physically equipped to turn Mata upside down, plant both feet in his armpits and use him for a pogo stick.
