Don't think its Murder? Why Not? Murder is the intentional pre-meditated killing of another without excuse, justification or mitigating factors. Here, a psychopathic white officer made a number of decisions leading to his conclusion to kill this Latino man: 1) After NYPD officer driving police car got cut off in traffic, he got angry. 2. What did he do about it? The Officer reacted by deciding to catch up to him and to "drive him of the road." 3. The Officer got real angry- a passenger in Polanco's car said that one of the officers — but not Detective Hamdy — stuck up his middle finger and was screaming obscenities from one of the moving police trucks. 4) After deciding to pull him over, the officer immediately exited his car. 5) He pulled out his gun and drew it. 6) Without provocation or warning to Polanco he decided to kill him by blasting him. Polanco had his hands on the steering wheel. Will white prosecutors have the courage to file a murder charge? [MORE].

As both NYPD Internal Affairs and the Queens DA's office investiate the fatal shooting of Noel Polanco, a 22-year-old National Guard reservist, it's now been revealed that the detective has been previously sued for police abuse.

Detective Hassan Hamdy, 39, was named in two federal civil rights lawsuits filed against police officers that the city eventually settled. The NY Times reported they were in 2001—$235,000—and 2008—$291,000. Hamdy was one of many officers in both cases: "One lawsuit accused the officers of breaking down the door of a man’s home without a warrant and assaulting him; another charged that officers repeatedly harassed a business owner.
