Bad Black Cops are Disposable & Easily Replaceable to NYPD: Cop Fired After Stomping on Black Man's Head
From [HERE] A NYPD cop who vowed to fight a court order to resign from the force for stomping on a suspect’s head has officially been given his walking papers, officials said Wednesday.
The NYPD terminated Police Officer Joel Edouard’s employment after a departmental trial, officials said.
Edouard, 38, was convicted of misdemeanor assault after he was caught on video stomping on Jahmi-El Cuffee’s head on Malcolm X Blvd. in Bedford-Stuyvesant in July 2014.
