Justice is Served

A New York Police Department lieutenant was found dead Thursday of an apparent suicide, a week after he ordered another officer to fire a stun gun at a naked, distraught man who then fell to his death, police said.
Pigott had been stripped of his gun and badge and reassigned to desk duty after a Sept. 24 incident in which police responding to a report of an emotionally disturbed man fired a Taser stun gun at Iman Morales, causing him to fall 10 feet off a ledge. The man was jabbing at officers with an 8-foot-long flourescent light.
HL’s Take:
Finally a cop with some integrity. He knew he fouled up and did the right thing. There have been so many people tasered by so many cops that end up dying, and every single time the cop is found not guilty and goes about his merry way. The stories of cops screwing over the public with no accountablility are endless. More of them should take a cue from this guy and let justice be served the only way possible.
