NYPD is the worst. Absolutely scummy organization.

Postal worker failed "the attitude test"
That would be the attitude by some people in Australia to this story. If police here are in a bad mood, everyone they encounter has to continuously show a "good attitude" otherwise the cops can ruin their day. Or worse.

How long till the NYPD says the Postman knew the risks associated with the job and it's his own fault?

cops are fucked up when they leave unattended vehicles unlocked after arresting someone
this smells like a Federal Crime, leaving a USPS truck unlocked unattended
throw those cops in jail

It's a damn shame when this is not even a joke.

And of course the man had to be black. Police are really shameful sometimes.
Shouting at them probably didn't help, but come on. Didn't deserve to get arrested.

NYPD proving that Federal workers are their bitches, mad

That's a fuck up. Besides being a federal employee they left the truck unattended.......
There's nothing wrong with yelling at someone who almost hit you. I hope this blows up.

Yeah, no. I highly doubt an NYPD cop is going to be living anywhere near East New York. It's a notoriously bad neighborhood. A bulk of crimes happen there
And wow, cops in NYC don't care if you got a job. They're in an unmarked car, and got yelled at for driving like pricks.. Then, being the gangsters they are, they hit reverse and get out of the car, cuff the dude and take him who knows where.
I would fucking LOVE to sneak a camera into police academy training here. I'd love to see how these morons are being trained
do it, you could release a documentary about it after
It is.
As someone else mentioned, the politics wouldn't look good, but the Feds could come down on the NYPD for this if they wanted to.

Just about every part of this story is unbelievable. The only silver lining is that they didn't give him the Garner treatment.

Wonder when the NYPD will release the letter carrier's arrest record. "Well, he's no Angel."

Well at least they didn't choke him to death this time round.
I can imagine the mentality of these plainclothes cops, revealing themselves as the secret badasses:
"You made a big mistake, pal. You will submit to my authoritah."
As someone working in customer service, I imagine that must feel incredible, and give an huge rush of endorphins/adrenaline.
But a police officer is a community worker, and allowing themselves to use their power to ruin someone's day/life, is abhorrent. Can't believe all the shit they try to get away with, while playing the role of the victims of a war on cops.
I hope these guys get the book thrown at them, seeing they arrested a federal employee on duty.

Lmao, what charge did he end up getting? Your police are pathetic, US.
This is unavoidable, and you shouldn't focus on this. You should focus on your police not getting prosecuted for things they get paid leave for.

He was arrested and issued a summons.
Arrested. Summons.
SMH.
He doesn't have a record.
Yup. The power trip many of them seem to thrive on leads to stupid shit like this. I'm not convinced the same group of cops wouldn't have done the same thing if he was white. Though the NYPD has enough history of culturally ingrained prejudice that I'm not gonna give these guys the benefit of the doubt.
It never ceases to amaze me how so many self styled tough guys go off the deep end over minor verbal confrontations like this one. What a bunch of egomaniacal adult sized babies.

Wait, so I'm guessing this was a citation summons? It's the only type I can imagine that would fit a potential infringement he caused... Which he didn't.

Obviously he had a bomb or some weapon in the brown box he was holding.

If that mail guy didn't think twice about shouting at a carful of brave police officers, I bet he wouldn't think twice about delivering a package to a terrorist either.
I'm surprised and a little worried he wasn't shot on sight.

If I learned anything from the movie Seven, it's that nothing good can come from a mysterious brown box.
Full video of Wednesday's press conference, including a video of the arrest:

Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams urged the New York City Police Department (NYPD) to take swift disciplinary action against the police officers responsible for a questionable arrest of an on-duty postal worker that occurred last week in Crown Heights, which was captured on a newly uncovered cell phone video that will be shared with the media.
Borough President Adams was be joined by that postal worker's family as well as members of his union, National Association of Letter Carriers Branch 41.

Why does the NYPD employ so many manchildren?

It's a gang, one guy wants to do this shitty thing, you go with them or youre against the entire gang.

v. dis·gorged, dis·gorg·ing, dis·gorg·es

1. To bring up and expel from the throat or stomach; vomit.
2. To discharge violently; spew.
3. To surrender (stolen goods or money, for example) unwillingly.
v.intr.
To discharge or pour forth contents.
You could say they oozed onto the scene...
NYPD stay winning.

While I'm sure some of it is the people they hire, I have to think a lot of it is simply due to the culture of the organization. If you can bully people without repercussion, then you are probably going to end up a bully.

He basically got a small ticket, something along the lines of $15 or $20 for not having an ID present on him.
Apparently, these dipshit cops also rear ended a car on the way to the precinct. Goes to show you what kind of assholes we're dealing with.

He has now. Resisting arrest, yelling at the gods, leaving his work without notice, leaving a postal car undefended on the street and for some reason he even went as far as sprinkling crack on himself while in handcuffs.
