NYPD Officer Stripped of Gun, Put on Desk Duty After ‘Act of Cowardice’ Is Caught on Camera: Report
Where have all the heroes gone?
In the bustling streets of New York City, a shocking incident unfolded on a subway platform. A uniformed police officer, Officer Manual Morales, stood idly by as his fellow officer, Lt. Gypsy Pichardo, was mercilessly beaten by two thugs. This disturbing scene, captured on video and reported by the New York Post, has left many questioning the integrity and bravery of those sworn to protect and serve.
Officer Morales, with nearly two decades of experience, was seen in the video “holding a subway door and watching from the platform” as Lt. Pichardo was attacked. This incident occurred on November 11th at the 238th Street No. 1 train station. The NYPD wasted no time in identifying the culprits, and shockingly, one of them turned out to be a fellow police officer.
Marquise Webb and Brian Innocent, both 24, were subsequently arrested for their alleged assault on Lt. Pichardo, as reported by the New York Post. These individuals now face charges including assaulting a police officer, criminal possession of a weapon, resisting arrest, obstruction of governmental administration, criminal trespassing, and disorderly conduct.
Officer Morales, on the other hand, has been placed on desk duty and had his gun taken away pending further investigation. The lack of support from his fellow officers is evident, with Morales being suspended just two days after the incident. The question remains, where have all the heroes gone?
A Disturbing Trend
This incident raises concerns about the prevalence of officers standing by while their colleagues are attacked. It is disheartening to witness the erosion of courage and honor within our society. The video footage of Officer Morales’ inaction has been met with criticism from both veteran and senior officers.
One veteran police officer, who viewed the footage, condemned Morales’ behavior as an “act of cowardice.” Another senior officer attributed Morales’ lack of courage to the restrictive rules imposed by the City Council and the Civilian Complaint Review Board. These factors have created an environment where officers fear the consequences of doing their job.
Protecting the Protectors
It is crucial to address this issue and restore the hero spirit within our law enforcement agencies. Officer Morales’ failure to intervene not only jeopardized the safety of his fellow officer but also raises doubts about his commitment to protecting the law-abiding citizens he swore to serve.
As the investigation unfolds, it is essential to hold accountable those who betray the trust placed in them. The incident involving Officer Morales serves as a stark reminder that the decay of society begins from within. We must strive to uphold the values of bravery, integrity, and selflessness that define true heroes.
