He’s as crazy as a suicide bomber.

Maybe he thought that working for the “Joint Terrorism Task Force” meant that he’s supposed to spread terror.

This captures the asshole perfectly.

Man Filmed Screaming At Immigrant Cab Driver ID’d As NYPD Terror Detective

He’s probably interning for the newly established : “Division of Intimidation and Islamophobia.”

DNAinfo attempted to contact Cherry but received no response via email or phone.

That’s weird. He sure seemed talkative when he was berating the cab driver.

I’m going to say “cough medicine” will be the eventual explanation.

Piling on the joke embedded in the headline…

When he applied for the job of “Terror Detective” I don’t think he fully understood the job description.

I was thinking Division of Dumbasses.

No, the officer neglected to shoot him in the back. Definitely strayed from standard police/citizen interaction protocol.

NYPD spokesperson made a statement: “The past five days have been emotionally draining for the members of the JTTF dealing with their fellow detective’s health,” Palladino said. “Despite what some people think, cops have feelings, too.”

Jesus, this is how these guys handle stress? A driver honks and makes a gesture (IMAGINE THAT IN NYC!) and that’s the officer’s reaction? Just imagine how they would react if there was an actual terrorist incident going down? They need to find some people that can handle stress because I would have zero confidence in this steroidal rage clown being able to handle his shit when things hit the fan.

just the kind of calm, rational demeanor one expects from a detective in the nypd… not to mention the terrorism task force. this big swinging dick was apparently upset about a pal’s recent elbow surgery that happened… comforting isn’t it, to know that these pricks with unchecked and unlimited powers – and the most lethal weapons available – are patrolling the city streets in unmarked cars and driving carelessly.
and the ccrb is a fucking joke … nothing will happen to this guy. hell, i bet not even a news clipping of this will appear in his file.

well, usually there’s gunfire involved…

There is no non-moronic argument to be made stating that this is good police work.
