The Post and Daily News have more information about yesterday morning's stabbing of an off-duty police officer who had been walking in Chelsea with his girlfriend and some other women. Apparently the women were harassed by a group of men, prompted Officer Jonathan Silvetti to say, "Hey, that's my girl. They're with me." When Silvetti said he was a cop and showed them his NYPD shield, one said, "So what? I got one of those," and began to punch Silvetti. Then another in the group stabbed him in the hip. Silvetti was treated at St. Vincent's Hospital and a suspect, Steven Goddard, was charged with assault.

Some people wonder why some cops shoot first and ask questions later. This cop with out with his girl and just having a good time and I think any guy would intervene with someone bothering his girl.
Can't they throw on tougher charges? He did assault a police officer after the cop identified himself.
it should be tougher charges, assaulting a police officer is a felony
^And attempted murder on a police officer will get you life in prison.
He was foolish to identify himself anyway. Thugs don't fear or respect cops. He obviously wasn't carrying his gun with him, so it was basically giving them a chance to beat on a cop without worrying about getting shot, especially since they outnumbered him.
#5- That's why they caught the one guy and will roll up the rest real soon, right?
So you're saying they were shot? What exactly are you getting at? So they get arrested. Like criminals really think long and hard about the consequences of their actions. Besides, beating up a cop would earn you some respect in prison as well as some street cred.
