Top NYPD brass should deliver a strong rebuke to four officers and a lieutenant who cuffed an on-duty postal worker last week because he shouted at them, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams said Tuesday.

Glenn Grays, 27, of East New York, says he was driving along President St. in Crown Heights on March 17 when an unmarked police car nearly hit his mail truck.

Frustrated, the postal worker shouted something out of his window at the unmarked police car — which promptly stopped, backed up and disgorged four plainclothes cops and a lieutenant.

From that point on, Grays’ run-in with the plainclothes police was captured on cellphone video by bystanders, who can be heard repeatedly asking the officers why the mailman was stopped.

The postal worker was carrying a large brown cardboard box when police approached him.

The video shows the cops asking him for identification, and Grays answers that it’s in his mail truck.

The cops then pull him away from the door — and the postal worker doesn’t resist.

He was cuffed and put in the back of the unmarked vehicle, which then drove away — leaving the postal van unattended.

You know, whatever happens to NYPD going forward is going to be so cathartic for me.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

They thought he was about to go postal

Spoiler

I am really tired

 

[NeOak]

Icing on the cake would be if the postman's route included the house of one of the top brass of the NYPD.

 

[gblues]

Time to add "delivering the goddamn mail" to the list.

 

[Straight Edge]

This would be a nice excuse for the federal government to put a boot in the NYPD. You don't interfere with mail delivery.

 

[entremet]

NYPD must attract these types.

Good one

 

[Tecnniqe]

What would make this better is if someone then stole the mail van

 

[djplaeskool]

Time to add "delivering the goddamn mail" to the list.

I'm gonna need some more paper for this damn list...

 

[rokkerkory]

Retarded

 

[orthodoxy1095]

NYPD must recruit these types.

Ftfy

 

[Seesaw15]

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

The NYPD must have saw the USPS motto as challenge.

 

[TimeEffect]

That's just creepy. I dont like the idea of police in an unmarked vehicle like this either.

 

[echoshifting]

I'm gonna need to see some video of this police car disgorging five officers

 

[coolasj19]

They left the Mail Van. This thing that federal government employees use to deliver packages, correspondences, potentially confidential information. They left it in the middle of the road? What. The. Fuck?

 

[Two Words]

So what gets put higher on the list, "Complaining about nearly being hit" or "Trying to do your job"?

 

[What did he mean by this?]

When I visit NYC, I try to never look anyone in the eye. You dont know who might have gang connections and take it as an insult.

Anyone on the street could be NYPD you just dont know

Doesn't matter if you look them in the eye or not, you wearing the wrong (skin)colors in their hood and they gonna get you either way.

“I believe there were federal violations. Number one, leaving that truck unsecured. Number, two, interrupting the delivery of mail. There are clear NYPD procedures when you are arresting a federal employee,” he said. “We don't know if even those basic procedures were followed.”

I hope they fuck these cops twenty different ways. It is beyond ridiculous that you can't say shit to these assholes without their fragile egos breaking into a million pieces. You see this shit time and time again. And then people wonder why there is such a huge level of distrust and frankly, hatred, for the cops in this nation.

 

[mackattk]

Somehow the police in this country never cease to surprise me.

 

[DR2K]

4 paid vacations coming right up!

 

[JoeyJungle]

He was obviously being a public nuisance, interfering with police business, and causing a commotion. I'm sure the police officers were just doing their job.

 

[Sir Abacus]

The postie is black. I wonder why a black mailman got arrested? Well done, NYPD. Well fucking done. /s

 

[Ogodei]

Federal charges for mail tampering would be nice, but the optics would be terrible.

 

[TheSeks]

This would be a nice excuse for the federal government to put a boot in the NYPD. You don't interfere with mail delivery.

Hah, like that's gonna happen though.

The mailtruck being left behind is a HUGE HUGE issue though and I hope those cops get their shit kicked in hard over that.

 

[rjinaz]

NYPD are a paid gang.

 

[KarmaCow]

He committed the ultimate offense, making the cops feel like they don't own everything and everyone.

 

[ISOM]

Cops egos are so fucking fragile. Talk about power corruption.

 

[demon]

Just more bad apples in the Big Apple.

NYPD sound like a bunch of cunts TBH.

 

[Iron Man Cooking a Crepe]

I can't wait to move out of NYC.

 

[Enzom21]

I'll quote myself from the other NYPD thread:

NYPD, always doing the most to remain the smelliest turd in the pile of shit that is US law enforcement.

I see that policy of hiring people with low IQs is still active.

 

[E92 M3]

Man, the fragile ego on these assholes. Giving all the hardworking cops a bad name.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

I've been binge watching Person of Interest and I only think of the NYPD as HR when I see them now.

 

[Tecnniqe]

I've been binge watching Person of Interest and I only think of the NYPD as HR when I see them now.

HR is police in a nutshell

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

Literal gang behavior. Taking someone away to wherever just because you don't like them.

A whole car full of them and none of them is like "maybe we shouldn't?"

 

[Any Questions]

Man, the fragile ego on these assholes. Giving all the hardworking cops a bad name.

I know. They should of worked harder and clubbed him half to death. Part time effort there.

 

[DrForester]

Isn't it a serious offense to hinder a mailman from carrying out their job?

 

[JaggedSac]

NYPD is ridiculous. Seriously, wtf is going on over there.

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

What the fuck? And did the skinny cop tell the guy "I'm gonna hurt you"? Did I hear that right?

 

[n00bsauce87]

He was yelling at them recklessly. It was gonna happen

 

[Hale-XF11]

Sounds exactly like something the Mexican cartel would do.

 

[Vhalyar]

Running over and murdering pedestrians is a-ok, a little kidnapping here or there is not so bad.

Not but really, bad apples.

 

[TheOMan]

I'm just glad they didn't shoot him dead in the street.

 

[low-G]

Yeah...


Cops fucked up. Hope the Federal government uses this as an excuse to come down on them.

How many people has this terrorist group killed this year alone? More deadly to Americans than Isis, and WE KNOW WHERE ALL THEIR BASES ARE! This should be a very easy campaign, suitable for something akin to "shock and awe", I'd say. Long range missile strikes. No reason to threaten our soldiers' lives.

 

[The Kree]

Gang behavior.
