but the important thing was...

The report says the backseat cop “claimed” she was asleep. That worked for me once. A bunch of us teens got arrested for minor possession of alcohol and two of them vandalized the jail cell. When the judge asked me what I saw I told him I didn’t see anything because I was passed out. And I wasn’t lying.
There are a couple of posts on this thread claiming the police officer in the back seat was asleep. Was she asleep or was she flashing her badge?
but the important thing was...
We shouldn’t racially profile. But a judge recently ordered a New Jersey neonazi not to name his son Adolf Hitler, and took the child into protective custody. So, wouldn’t it be prudent to have a “name profiling” for anyone named Hassan?
I wasn’t there but we have this in the first news article on this:
“The officer riding in Mr Polanco’s car, 29-year-old Vanessa Rodriguez, was waving her police ID out the window just before the shooting, sources said.”

Then in subsequent articles she claims to have been asleep and no mention of badge out the window shows up in any articles.
Could you sleep through this:
A passenger in Mr. Polanco’s car, Diane Deferrari, said in a phone interview Thursday night that just before pulling the car over, officers appeared irate that Mr. Polanco had cut them off.
She 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.
“As soon as we stopped — they were rushing the car,” Ms. Deferrari said. “It was like an army.”
She said a group of officers swarmed the car, yelling for the three people in Mr. Polanco’s car to put their hands up.
Mr. Polanco, whose hands were still on the steering wheel, had no time to comply, Ms. Deferrari said. At that instant, a shot rang out, and Mr. Polanco gasped for air, she said.

Does that sound like something that an off-duty police officer in the back seat would be able to sleep through without putting her hands up and out the window with her badge.
Sounds like murder to me
I don’t know who could sleep through all the commotion that accompanies a pull-over, i.e., sirens, etc. That’s why I wondered about the claims that the officer in the car had slept thru the incident. She’d have to have been dead drunk.
A “full measure” of justice wold be for Officer Hamdy to disappear. Forever.
I suspect that she was told after the incident or realized on her own that for her career’s sake she should just claim that she saw and heard nothing because she was asleep in the back seat the whole time.
The $2.5 million should came out to the police officer’s retirement fund ==
Who wants a guy like that running around their neighborhood with a gun..!!
Do you know if she’s still a police officer? It’d be interesting to know the toll this whole incident has taken on her, both personally and professionally, if any.
I don’t know — but I’m sure it weighed on her.
But even without her testimony of putting her badge out the window the city was going to pay dearly.
Think about it — since when is somebody pulled over for a mere traffic violation by a SWAT truck, then ganged up on by a swarm of armed police with guns drawn taking the shole incident personally because you had just cut them off.
Something was going to go wrong and it did.
I hope the boneheads on the Grand Jury are sleeping well —until Hamdy’s next incident.
“...until Hamdy’s next incident.”
That’s another follow-up I’d wondered about... is Hamdy still with NYPD? And, if so, do they let him away from a desk for other than escorted potty breaks?
$2.5 mill seems like chump change for the life of a 22 year old.
A CBS News Crew caught Mayor de Blasio's car doing this just the other day...
Which us why I am considering putting a Dash Cam in my new Car.
They even make a combination front an rear facing camera system nowadays.
Funny how I think of doing things in my Life that would have never occurred to me as a younger man. Hiding my Guns, making sure I have photographic proof of my innocence, worrying about how my Political Beliefs can be attacked by own Government through IRS / NSA / BATF / (you name it) intimidation.
Or I’m just paranoid.
Yet another instance where criminals pinned to badges commit murder....the government refuses to hold them
accountable and then goes out and STEALS $2.5Million
from the taxpayer AT GUNPOINT...remember all taxes are
collected via threat of violence....to pay off the family
so they can cover up this crime.
