Halloween tricks are never a good idea, no matter what side of the law you're on. A 14-year-old boy was throwing eggs at cars in Staten Island when two police officers decided to teach him a lesson. Police sources S.tell the Daily News that Officers Thomas Elliassen and Michael Danese picked up Rayshawn Moreno around 8:30PM, drove him to "a swampy area of the 122nd Precinct" and then "dropped him off wearing only boxer shorts and socks and left." Moreno had to walk to a Burlington Coat Factory, where a security guard called his parents.
Elliassen and Danese were arrested, placed on desk duty and had their guns taken away. They said they just wanted to "scare him" they drove back to find Moreno, but he was gone. The News has a photograph of Moreno meeting an Internal Affairs detective - IAB interviewed his mom. Moreno's father said that the teen was also beaten by the officers and noted that the cops were white, "There's still racism in the New York Police Department, especially in Staten Island."
And the Mount Vernon security guard, Neville Webb, who was shot in the head while trying to stop a group of youths from egging cars and people died at Jacobi Medical Center. Mount Vernon police commissioner David Chong said, "This poor security guard was just doing his job. It just seems to me that there is a culture out there that really doesn't value human life. Surely if it's stemming from the simplicity of Halloween and egg throwing and criminal mischief, it really has escalated into something quite more brutal than that."

These half brained policemen are sooo bad for the rest of the police force. Who will trust police when they think they can just take punichment into their hands...Morons!
The JUDICIAL system is the punisher arm of the sytem, not the police. IDIOTS!
Punishment? They dropped him off in his boxers on a 60 degree night. It's not like they placed him face down on the sidewalk and executed him in the spot.
agains his will...therefore illegal
the kid got off pretty lightly
had he been doing that in Singapore, he wouldn't be walking for the next month
I think teenagers these days do need a little kick in the butt. I bet he will never throw eggs at cars again - which could be the positive outcome of this.
MT that would have been the best solution to an ongoing problem with reckless youth of color.
Call Tawana Brawley and her fat friend!
I had to dodge frozen eggs and raw potatoes hurled at me as hard as possible this year while I rode my bike home in Crown Heights. This happened on the night before Halloween, and also the night of. Screw that kid. I say strip all eggers down and leave them in the swamp to walk home. Throwing things at people and cars is a dangerous and stupid "prank".
I agree these stupid kids should just get tied up to a light pole and 50 cartons of eggs should be left nearby for anyone to throw at them.
this punk got what he deserved. these egg throwing punks ruin halloween for little kids & adults alike. stay home & play xbox if you hate halloween. maybe his parents should be more aware of where little Rayshawn is at 8:30 at night.
Yes, the cops overstepped their boundaries (despite probable good intentions) If the cops had been black or the kids white, there would have been no criminal charges against the cops - just administrative ones, which they deserve.
Next time, lets just arrest the kids - get them in the system - spend lots on lawyers - dozens of man hours of time from judges, parents, police, probation officers,etc. I guess thats better.
Rayshawn's parents? Did you mean his grandmother?
