From The New York Daily News

A black off-duty NYPD sergeant carrying takeout food to his girlfriend’s apartment claims he was racially profiled and roughed up by aggressive cops in the Bronx.

Sgt. Reginald McReynolds says he was handcuffed for 20 minutes while threatened by a rookie cop with arrest and the loss of his pension.

“I was minding my business,” McReynolds told the Daily News. “I can think of no other reason for being stopped but my skin color.”

“This incident has opened my eyes,” added McReynolds, who’s assigned to the Quality Assurance Division, which audits crime statistics.

    I have to agree with MR_NANASTROKER and I_AM_BACK_4_MORE…. New York is notorious (no pun intended) for violating the rights of black men.. Now, all of a sudden, he (McReynolds) sees the light… What was he, blind before the incident?!?!?!

    Hey yall know what? I’m very pissed about what happened to this brother. However, I’m evenly pissed because you guys don’t act like yall understand what he’s going through by sizing yourselves up to him as it relates to status. Be you….do yo own thang and let him do him. Everybody isn’t the same. Maybe there are some black cops who are given priviledges and treated different and they don’t know what time of day it is. However, there are some brothers out there who are “trying” to do their jobs and keep the scales even. It’s not easy because we have more of our brothers out here trying to do the “wrong” thing that they help the white copz get off easy when they do act da fool. C’mon yall…….don’t do that. I know some of yall might have been through that….then you should know how it is and know that maybe God allowed him to “see” or reminded him of what it’s like out here for our brothers so that he can contribrute to change…..let’s not lose focus.

    Holla at cho gurl,

    Luv2

    For White cops to do that to a ‘brother’officer it is perverted as always. It seems the words “To Protect and Serve” applies to their own race and not policemen of other races. If it was my way the White cop badges and guns should be taken away from them.

    McReynolds’ girlfriend called 911 and snapped photos with her cell phone camera.

    “[Bach] said to me, ‘I’m gonna take your pension today,’” McReynolds said.

    Official reports say the cops claim they stopped McReynolds because they thought he might be the boyfriend of the woman in the domestic case.

    McReynolds is 42 years old and weighs 275 pounds. He says the woman’s boyfriend is also black, but is in his late 20s and weighs about 150 pounds.

    “There’s no way in the world I fit the description of that guy,” he said.

    In his 19-year career, McReynolds has never received a command discipline or civilian complaint. Now he’s been slapped with charges accusing him of stonewalling the cops, pushing Azevedo and telling his girlfriend to say he was assaulted.

    “The cops’ story is an afterthought to justify their unconstitutional stop,” said the sergeant’s lawyer, Eric Sanders, of the Law Firm of Jeffrey Goldberg in Lake Success, L.I.

    A police spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

    Kind of dangerous to date in NYC, I see….Most def he was profiled or maybe Bach wanted that pu$$Y (ole Sarge’s girlfriend)for himself, and Micky mouse was in the way!!!!

    Now he see how all the black men/women feel when he let his toy-cop buddies do the same thing to them and then turn his head as if he didn’t see anything or cover’d his ears when he heard them talking about the wrong they have done. But-it will be another case where im sorry and I apologize and move on…then back to the same ole thing.

    This is why i changed my mind about being a cop. You can put on the badge and emulate them from one side of the world to the other. Sooner or later they’ll let you know what you are. THIS one incident opened your eyes? Bro, did’nt they teach you when using your mace to point the spray hole toward the suspect and not toward YOU?

    What saddens me about this story is that as a blackman… stating that THIS INCIDENT HAS OPENED MY EYES.

    Well what about the 1000′s of other incidents of Police BRUTALITY that are in the news on a daily basis.
    Those incidents never opened your eyes?

    So no problem has ever been noticed about Police BRUTALITY and RACIAL PROFILING until it was done to him.

    cafe_late1, it’s not that a brotha is selling out by doing his job but, he sold out by not doing his job until he was at the business end of the nightstick…. Now beforehand, he acted like it didn’t exist, what a rude awakening huh?!?!?!? I guess being shot and killed by officers on ya wedding night isn’t evidence enough or, having a broom shoved up that brothas azz is as apparent…. In the words of Scareface, “Ju stupid fuucckk!!!

    Now the sergeant claims his eyes are open.but he was’nt beaten or shot like most innocent black people just minding their own business coming from a store.is he going to continue to go along with the racist white police that he works with? One day he may be shot or beaten,and they will be found innocent and justified.just other blacks and his badge won’t protect him,because white racist cops kill black cops.and he has always known this.

    I can’t say that I’m shocked because as a black woman and NYC resident I know all to well that this type of shyt has been happening to our people for years! This is nothing new, and even the fact that he was a police officer didn’t make him exempt from this sort of racial profiling! I really hope that Obama at some point of his presidential administration addresses the need to improve the way that police officers deal with people (mainly minorities, and non whites) in the community.I respect police officers who enforce the law and protect the community without harassing and attacking innocent people.I however,detest dirty cops who use their badge and title as officer to inact hate attacks or deep rooted aggression towards people who are simply existing. When an officer is killed or hurt on duty, the person(s) responsible are prosecuted to the highest extent of the law, so why are dirty cops who kill and hurt innocent unarmed citizens constantly allowed to walk free or with a slap on the wrist when they break the law?I’m tired of this shyt and I think that we need a new police commissioner and someone who will act fairly on behalf of all citizens and not just the men and women in blue , with that blou code of honor bullshyt!

    Sometimes white folks go in the army or police force just to get the go ahead so they have an excuse to beat on none-whites…..its been happening for years. Some of them not there to protect but to abuse blacks or none-whites….night is their favourite time to do it.

    Wow. I bet we’re going to see so many racially offensive stories like this, that people will just think “oh it’s normal”, at some point. This is what leads to more racism by newcomers, fyi. If you see THIS is how whites of authority treat blacks, you yourself will think it’s what ALL non-blacks are allowed to do to blacks. We have to watch this stuff.
