The NYPD detective who was caught on video chewing out an Uber driver has been stripped of his shield and gun, and will be placed on modified duty, police officials said.

Detective Patrick Cherry has been removed from the department’s elite Joint Terrorism Task Force and will be doing desk duty until he is officially transferred out of the prestigious division.

“No good cop should watch that video without a wince,” Commissioner Bill Bratton said at a Wednesday press conference. “Because all good cops know that officer just made their jobs a little bit harder.”

If a CCRB judge finds Cherry guilty of misconduct, he could end up with a permanent mark on his record, sources said. But any disciplinary action would be solely up to Bratton, who ultimately has final say.

Cherry has been the subject of a dozen prior CCRB complaints, going back more than 10 years, some for exhibiting the same sort of verbal abuse, a source said.

With this incident and the countless others that are in the public eyes now, will cops change their behaviors? You still see dogs being shot, civil right violations, incorrect houses being raided and Chris Rock being pulled over three times. When does it stop...

He saw the driver and thought he was going to bust an attempted car bombing.

That's part of the story I never saw reported. What was he doing to get pulled over, or was it just that he was black and driving a nice car?

I can only imagine how often that guy abuses his power. He doesn't deserve that power, and he clearly shouldn't be in law enforcement.

Seems more like he was reassigned

Your thread title makes it seem like he was kicked off the force

Are you serious? If you don't act a fool and drive a nice car, ESPECIALLY the kind of car he can afford, you don't get pulled over just for being black.

Are u serious? You don't think cops pull black guys over when they have a nice car just because their black and have a nice car? I've seen it happen countless times to my dad. It's happened to me.

In 2015 you do not get pulled over in a 100k dollar car in NYC or any nice area in the NE or Cali just because you are black, sorry but it doesn't happen.

Is this from your pesonal experience or your unfounded opinion?

But I was told cops are never punished even when caught on camera. How can this be?

Yea, you have no idea what you're talking about. I've been in the car with my dad, who has a top of the line Mercedes, in a very affluent area of New Orleans and he's been stopped a half dozen times for no reason at all. Same thing has happened to me. This is from personal experience.
Also, did u forget about the story of the black guy who owned a home in an affluent area, got locked out his home and when he tried to get inside the cops arrested him because they couldn't believe he owned that house?
It was a huge national story like 2 or 3 years ago
