Two Police Indicted in August Road Rage Beating

Two female NYPD cops accused of brutally beating a man during a road rage incident in August were indicted today by a Bronx grand jury. You'll recall the charges stem from an altercation between officers Michelle Anglin and Kollen Robinson—who were off-duty at the time—and Marlon Smith, who mouthed off to the pair after they yelled at him to shut his car door so they could pass by in Robinson's SUV. F-bombs ensued, followed by a pistol-whipping. When Smith tried to shut his door to drive away, Anglin allegedly blasted him with pepper spray, yelling, "Do you know who you are f------ with? We are the police!" And it emerged today that they're also accused of beating a witness with a baton when he tried to break up the fight. The cops face up to 15 years in prison if convicted of the more serious assault charge.

People in power situations think laws don't apply to them and can do whatever they want.

Those two bitches are in the wrong business. They could make serious bank dressing up in their "uniforms" and "pulling over" wealthy Wall Street types and laying on the abuse. Some of them might even pay an additional "antenna fee".

To take the other side of the argument, I hate it when dickheads leave their car doors wide open, either making drivers swerve around them or just blocking oncoming traffic, like this asshole.

I see it all the time, perpetrated by all kinds of people - people who deserve to have their driver doors sheared off, and maybe a leg to go along with it.

NYPD are at LEAST over 50% PIGS.

Some cops seem cool, but the ones that stop you are always dicks. And can we do something to eliminate under-cover ops?
