Well looks like we've found the Bull Connor of Manhattan

He's not a bug, he's a feature:
Activists have identified the senior New York Police Department officer who allegedly pepper-sprayed young women at the "Occupy Wall Street" protests, and it's not the first time he has been accused of civil rights abuses. The Guardian confirmed that the officer is Anthony Bologna, who was also accused of civil rights abuses and false arrest during the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City. Photographs of the officer's badge also suggested that Bologna was the person in question. A file released by the hacker group Anonymous pointed to a 2007 civil rights suit filed against Bologna. Post A. Posr, the man named as a plaintiff in that suit, was arrested during the 2004 convention although he wasn't actively taking part in the protests.
It is unknown whether Officer Tony Bologna once danced to 'Boney Moroney'.

Maybe someone has stumbled onto why the NYPD kept promoting this guy....

Fire him and take his pension. He's a menace to our children. Should be charged criminally, too. Be sweet if he smacks around a casually dressed Goldman Sux equity partner. Then you'd see some fucking justice PDQ.Both ways.

Put him in front of a Republican candidates debate, and the crowd will go wild. He's a shoo-in for the nomination if Bloomberg can get him to run.

...NYC needs a cop who assaults without provocation why?

Listen, I don't even want cops assaulting people I disagree with, ie abortion protesters or white supremacists... a cop who would assault them would turn around and assault anyone else too.

Fire. Him. Now.
