Um ... fired.

Operating under the name Polecat, Police Officer Edward Polstein allowed his Finest brethren to take shots at Mayor Bloomberg, top cop Raymond Kelly, pompous bosses and even the police union.

Police brass weren't amused - bringing departmental charges that have led to the dismissal of Polstein, a housing cop for 18 years. Now unemployed and trying to figure out how to support a wife and three daughters, Polstein defiantly says he did nothing wrong and is gearing up for a legal battle in federal court.

Dan,

I can't look at this site you link to re: NYPD cop because it keeps putting pop-up ads in front of the story in spite of my pop-up blocker.

Then when I close the window it comes up with another window telling me I can win a new lap top. It then trys to fool me into clicking on something to download more crap!

So I permanently banned it from my computer!!!

A bureaucracy - an organization whose main purpose is to protect and propagate itself.
If Bloomberg had the balls he'd order Ray Kelly to not only reinstate this guy with full pay but also assign someone to read the entries every day so that Headquarters would have SOME idea of what was going on in the Rank and File.

This is the same lack of perspective that led Clinton to lie about Monica to the country and Rove? to be astonishingly petty and underhanded in outing Mrs. Wilson. Sure signs of power not being reigned in and losing sight of it's goal. It's a shame that when people support an administration's political stance many of those same people allow increasingly repressive and unlawful activity in the name of (their) freedom and (their) democracy.

Let the people in power lose sight of what's proper and they will extend their influence farther then the law allows. Democrat or Republican. Count on it.
