Cop In Hot Water For Gun Waving While Off-Duty

101409pluto.jpg The NYPD cop facing up to 15 years in prison for allegedly flashing his gun at rowdy Rangers fans on the LIRR is no longer talking to the press, after saying way too much to a local news crew. But the Nassau district attorney's office is talking, and tells Newsday, "The allegation is that he was not acting in any legal law enforcement capacity, and he allegedly used his weapon to menace the passengers, so it doesn't matter that he's licensed or a trained professional." But surely the jury will take into account that Officer David Hendrick's alleged targets were Rangers fans from Long Island?

Is that a Pluto sweatshirt? Is he fuckin' retarded? If so, then he should have his gun pulled.

Hey hey hey, 90's guy takes offense to that. Cable knits are totally fresh.

I love to wear them while watching Fresh Prince of Bel Air and eating Bugles.

Pluto? I thought the trigger-happy cop was goofy!
