The NYPD and National Guard on Friday loaded tons of food and water into trucks bound for New Yorkers affected by Hurricane Sandy, with One World Trade Center visible behind the pallets of supplies at Floyd Bennett Field.
Once again, excellent job by the NYPD. These brave officers were on the scene within 2 minutes and they took down the suspect as he drew his gun out on them.
PO Moira Smith’s last transmission from the WTC is believed to be on this recording. – 3 mins 11seconds.
I was off on 9/11/01 (retired NYPD), but reported to work at 1030am after seeing the attacks on the news. Listening to this transmission was very painful.
On March 10, 2012, Madison Square Park in Manhattan was renamed PO Moira Smith Playground, in honor of the 13th Precinct heroine who helped save hundreds at the World Trade Center on 9/11.
I can tell you that as a retired NYPD cop it doesn’t shock me one bit that the NYPD is abandoning one of their own involved with a lawsuit. It is rare that they abandon a high ranking officer such as Inspector Bologna, but since this video was recorded that might be the reason.
I guess the City Lawyers got together and they felt that this suit could not be won and Inspector Bologna was abandoned. This man could now lose his house for defending the people of NYC from these Occupy Wall Street anarchists and terrorists.
The people of NY should be outraged that Inspector Bologna was abandoned by the Police Department and NYC, because this makes NYC less safer. Now, police are less likely to get involved and rightfully so.
From my experience as a police officer: These Occupy Protesters were most likely disobeying lawful orders to disperse, because they were blocking vehicle and pedestrian traffic. They were maced, because they were posing a danger to the public and the police officers on the scene. This is police procedure when you are dealing with unruly and violent protesters and you are in fear for YOUR SAFETY.
Shame on the NYPD for abandoning Inspector Bologna, a 29 year Veteran of the force. This is why I tell cops to do 20 years and GET OUT, because the Department will not back you if something gets into the media spotlight.
