NYPD Investigates Blogging Brooklyn Cop

HeadlineDec 23, 2003

The New York Police Department has begun an investigation into a Brooklyn officer who has been writing about his experience on a website. According to Newsday, the officer brags about beating suspects, writing phony tickets and ignoring calls to his precinct. In one post, the officer who goes by the online name of Brooklyn Bacon, wrote “”I am the type of person who loves getting my hands dirty whether it is chasing someone down a street or just giving them the 'good old fashion NYPD beat down.' I hope you didn’t think those beatings don’t really exist do you?”
