A day after police officers fatally shot a man who reportedly fired at them, off-duty law enforcement officers used their weapons to fire upon armed men.
In Brooklyn, an off-duty correction officer had been wheeling his motorcycle in his garage last night around 11 p.m. when an armed man appeared. Police believe the man wanted to steal the bike and said that the off-duty officer fired at him, hitting him in the cheek. The suspect is in the hospital.
Another off-duty corrections officer, who was getting gas in the Bronx around 2 a.m., approached by a man asking for directions. Then the man, per the NY Times, "suddenly entered the passenger side of the officer’s car, pulled a gun and demanded that the officer drive them away." After the struggling to get the officer into the car, the officer used his gun and fatally shot the suspect.
And in Queens around 2:00 a.m., an off-duty police detective tried to stop four men beating someone. One of the attackers fired at the detective (who had previously said he was a police officer) who then fired four times at the suspect. The attackers ran away, but two were found at a hospital and arrested.
Earlier this year, an off-duty corrections officer was killed during a robbery attempt at his Brooklyn home. And last week, an off-duty police officer was not indicted, though he had confessed, in the killing an unarmed driver in a 2007 road rage incident.

If criminals only watched the news they would understand that they are robbing the wrong people.
CO's are cool, they're like your regular lazy uncaring city civil service employees, only with a gun.
See Michael Green, that's how you handle someone who wants to "try out your bike."
Score: Fatherless welfare garbage minus 4.
NYPD: keep up the good work!
Man I hate cops. Let me tell you something about police and co's; those guys are the biggest hypocrits in the world. Despite some of them only joining the force do to inferiority issues, once they join its like they feel their above the law. Their here to serve and protect and to uphold the law but end up breaking every law in the book. Some break the law intentially and some do it simply because thay think they can. From sitting in bus stops and blocking hydrants to unwarranted detainments and harrasing certain communities to plain out MURDER! What puts a smile on my face is when the tables are turned on them and their looking threw a jail cell bar at one of their own giving them the same treatment the average criminal gets. Watch how fast they turn each other!
