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.

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

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

Boy...is THIS an unusual statement! Kudos to this guy for saying what ought to be said far more often...

“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.”

Why does it seem so god damned hard for most of our resident LEO's to do the same when videos like this show up...?

Being removed from the Joint Terrorism Task Force to another division likely is a punishment. That is a prestigious assignment and There aren't too many divisions he could be transferred to that would be quite the same. I do wonder if his pay will be adjusted lower to match any demotion.
