Indictment Expected Against Primary Sodomy Cop

2008_11_mineo2.jpgLaw enforcement sources tell the Post that they expect charges are forthcoming against Officer Richard Kern for his role in the alleged sodomizing of Michael Mineo in the Prospect Park subway station while cops were detaining him last month. While there was no inclination on what will happen to the other three officers under investigation, the paper says that a grand jury indictment of Kern is expected after Thanksgiving. Meanwhile yesterday Kern issued a statement through his lawyer reaffirming that he did "absolutely nothing wrong" and said that any implication that he used excessive force in a 2007 police misconduct investigation he had been cleared of previously were "a complete lie."

This kid is between a rock and a hard place. If he goes down for this, more than a few others will also. Probably a similar outcome if he's innocent.

Just in time for the holidays, a psycho perv with a badge and gun. Guess they don't screen for that cause' it keeps happening. If he didn't stick anything in this guy's rectum you know he's raped someone else who's too embarrassed to come forward. Personally I'd like to shove a fucking machine with a baton attachment in his ass for a week.

The Brown Wall of Silence is coming down...

I thought this was a Jen Chung post:

"While there was no inclination on what will happen to the other three officers under investigation..."

This is going to get ugly. Too many NYPD mistakes lately (rmember the Critical Mass pushing?) Someone's going to need to rein them in.
