FULL TITLE: EXCLUSIVE: First video 'of NYPD undercover cop at scene of brutal road rage attack' as it's claimed he 'went rogue' and 'forgot what side of the law he was on'
The first video that appears to show an undercover cop charged for taking part in the brutal gang bike attack on a family in their SUV, can be revealed today.
It comes amid claims that he may have 'gone rogue' after spending too long undercover, according to a report.
Detective Wojciech Braszczok may have become so immersed in his cover story that he forgot himself when he allegedly took part in the assault, suggested a DNAinfo source.
In an echo of films like Donnie Brasco - in which an undercover cop feels the strain of his double life - Braszczok may have stepped over the line.
A source said: 'Sometimes an undercover spends too much time in a role, becomes the character and forgets what side of the law he is on'.

You know what they do to cops when they are sent to prison?
Yea, they will remind this punk which side of the law the are on. Or suppose to be one anyway.
The is a huge amount of unjustified cop bashing here but when NYC cops are involved its totally justified.
Article says he spent years undercover in the Occupy Wall St movement, too.
Please, enlighten us as to how you’ve come to this insightful conclusion.
One of the things that has made this worse is that several years ago, many cities were forced to drop laws against applicants to the police force having “known gang associates.” This was to prevent mostly minority applicants who lived in the projects from being excluded because they knew gang members, but in truth, there’s a lot of difference between having a neighbor, through no fault of your own, who’s a gang member - and voluntarily associating with known gang members. The result is that a lot of people have gotten onto the force who already had criminal involvement.
I would say this guy definitely has “known gang associates,” probably Serbian or Bosnian of some kind, judging by the things he posted on his social media pages. Also, for someone who was supposedly “undercover,” he didn’t exactly try to hide his identity or the fact that he was a cop.
I think he was just a punk who got onto the force because of lax standards and was kept there for the same reason. Hopefully, he won’t get out of this one and maybe they’ll make an example of him.
NO mercy
Wojciech Braszczok...
How do you say that name...exactly the way it’s spelled
Why do I smell an effort to let this guy off easy? This reeks of making excuses for bad decisions.
Too bad the driver wasn’t carrying.
Nothing, they get their own.
Bunch of thugs. The driver of the SUV showed great restraint in not bumping off every single one of the bikers...
