Police Search for Robbers Who Pose As Cops

2008_09_bklynsusp.jpgThe police released photographs of three men suspected of impersonating police officers during robberies in Brooklyn. According to WABC 7, "Detectives say the men walked into a building on McDonald Avenue, pulled out guns, and displayed police badges." They also handcuffed their victims before robbing them. Their images were captured on a surveillance camera and the suspects are described as "white males in their 30s." Police are asking for people with any information to call Crimestoppers (800-577-TIPS) or to text 274637 and enter "TIP577."

their behavior does sound like they're nypd

So if a cop stops you, DON'T... :-)

The one on the lower right looks like Gary Sinise

Now they need to go after all the thugs and physical assaulters who pose as cops.

Isn't this like the dog chasing its tail?

You know the economy is in the toilet when white boys in their 30's are pulling stunts like this.
