Off-duty NYPD Cop is given YOGA as Punishment for Stumbling Drunkenly onto San Francisco highway while on vacation and Falsely Accusing Cops of Assaulting Her

  • The off-duty cop left her pals at dinner to head to a bar but ended up in the median of a six-lane highway
An active NYPD officer received a slap on the wrist from Commissioner Keechant Sewell following a drunken arrest in San Francisco that involved her trying to walk across a six-lane highway.

Officer Catherine Lamonica, 38, of the 28th Precinct in Harlem was taken into custody in April 2021 during a vacation with two pals in California.

Lamonica, of Long Island, was off-duty at the time.

She left her friends in a restaurant to head to a bar. An hour later, Lamonica decided to head back to her hotel, she told her friends.

NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell, pictured, signed off on Officer Catherine Lamonica's cushy punishment citing the fact that the officer didn't do anything else wrong during her vacation and that Lamonica had never had issues with alcohol in the past

Charges of public intoxication, pedestrian prohibited on restricted freeways and failure to obey signs, were dropped by the San Francisco District Attorney's office.

Lamonica's punishment from the NYPD was cushy. The officer was docked the standard 30 vacation days, attended counseling for six weeks and did volunteer work with the NYPD's stress management unit, reports the Post. In addition, Lamonica also did yoga with fellow officers.

I remember hearing back then that Iraq was given such notice time that they moved their bio weapons to Syria. That is why we never found them. I honestly don’t know if it was propaganda for a botched war that found nothing or if it was true.

What are your thoughts?

I think there was a lot of misinformation going on between Saddam and his generals. I think to some degree they were trying to project that they still had WMD to keep Iran off of their back and perhaps Saddam himself thought that they still had hidden caches. Meanwhile his terrified flunkies were simply trying to spin the truth long enough to avoid a special prison detention. Such methods are good to keep control but not to keep informed. Putin may have had a similar problem with assessing Russia's military capability vs Ukraine.

As an aside, Saddam's two sons were also monsters who committed unspeakable things (often themselves, not just delegating it to some henchman).

My daughter is moving up to NYC in June for her job. First job out of college and I’m scared s**tless for a lot of reasons. We sent her up there when she was 17 for a month to train in a program she applied to, rented an Air BnB, she figured it out fine. Not worried about her handling herself, but this is a whole different deal with the way the landscape has changed up there. Good news is she has several good friends up there so she’ll have a little bit of a built in tribe. She’ll be in lower Manhattan. Any NYC natives/experts got anything I should fill her in on? TIA.

This info is especially true for a young woman:

  • Do not go alone most anywhere after dark - lower Manhattan used to be fine but is no longer.
  • Do not look up (only tourists look above people's heads).
  • Walk briskly with a purpose wherever you are headed - general NYer attitude of stay the F outta my way
  • Hands always near pockets or where wallet, purse, etc would be. Learn to touch check it without being oblivious to see if its still there every little bit unconciously.
  • Dont carry heavy things in your hands that you cant drop in an instant.
  • Someone stares at you, look directly at them - then move on, do not engage.
  • If someone comes up and starts speaking to you, in general, shake your head and dont speak anything but "no thanks" and move on (but do so without turning your back to them).
  • Crowds will not help you if someone attacks so think of ways to create distance or defend if you must. Yelling is good but nobody will jump in anymore to save you.
  • Every so often, turn your head and look behind you to see if anyone is following.
  • Stay the F away from subway stations, when you are not on your way somewhere. Its a nexus for homeless nuts and other unsavories.
  • Keep your head up on the subway and especially when the doors open at stops and if people move between cars. You learn to get a read on people pretty quickly.
  • If your spidey sense is going off, listen to it
  • Predators tend to select someone vulnerable - has a baby, alone, carrying groceries, area is deserted, etc - dont look vulnerable.
  • Your best weapon is probably your feet - if you see something coming dont be ashamed to sprint - most wont follow you too far.

ABOVE EVERYTHING IS KEEP YOUR EYES UP AND LOOKING AROUND. Be aware of your surroundings always.

Key thing is to make yourself not look like a mark - for what? for pickpocketing, robbery, rape, batsh** crazy homeless people, scam artists, straight up thugs. Generally looking aware and having the right attitude will deter 90% of potential predators and learning to discern crazy homeless and give them a wide berth will eliminate a a lot more.

My advice above is generally good for everyone, especially for young women like your daughter, though my wife tells me it doesnt matter for me because "people are intimidated by you". But even big guys need to keep their eyes open - crazy dudes with a brick don't care how hard you are.

In general, NYC is a wonderful place - till its not - and that can happen really fast. Learn to be aware and you can safely go almost anywhere and have a great time.

Lived there in 1998 for the summer, great experience but times have changed. Best advise is be aware of surrounds in on high alert at all times. NYC moves fast and those that live there become accustomed to the con artist side of the city. Gandalf laid it out pretty well and she needs not believe the world is a safe, innocent place once she arrives.

Wow. I do not know a single human being that wants to live in that sheithole. Not one.

The folks i know break down about like this:

80% avoid NY and liberal big city environments like the plague

20% NYC is a nice place to visit once in a while (or bucket list) but they would NEVER live there.

Everyone has to find their comfort zone.
One of my daughters just bought a house in Atlanta and my other daughter and her fiancée are choosing to move to NY in July for a year.
I guess it works out well that people have different desires.

Lawyers who torched NYPD police vehicle agree to new plea deal

colinford-mattis-urooj-rahman-1.jpg

Lawyers Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges after burning an NYPD van during a George Floyd protest.

The pair of radical lawyers who torched an empty NYPD vehicle amid protests in Brooklyn over the police killing of George Floyd pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiracy charges in a deal struck with federal prosecutors.

The firebug attorneys, Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman, each copped to counts of conspiracy to commit arson and to make and possess an unregistered destructive device for firebombing the police van in Brooklyn on May 30, 2020, a spokesperson for the US Attorney’s Office said.

They had previously pleaded guilty to possessing a destructive device – but successfully fought prosecutors’ effort to give them a lengthy sentence under a “terrorism enhancement.”

Under the plea deal cemented Thursday, prosecutors will not seek the enhancement, and will request for a maximum sentence of two years in prison.

Perv Molests 17-year-old boy on Brooklyn subway platform: NYPD

nyc-subway-forcible-touching-feat-image.jpg

Police are still looking to track down the creep, and released a photo of him Wednesday morning.

A perv molested a 17-year-old boy on a Brooklyn train platform, cops said early Wednesday.

The teen was waiting for a southbound R train at the 59th Street station in Sunset Park around 7:10 a.m. May 19 when a stranger walked up to him and asked, “How big?,” pointing to the victim’s private area, authorities said.

The suspect then grabbed the teen’s penis over his clothing, police said.
