This one is especially abhorrent: How can I trust a fireman ever again? Any wonder why the minorities had so little faith in police or govt. in New Orleans?

Police: NYC firefighter assaults immigrant
Monday, September 12, 2005; Posted: 11:15 a.m. EDT (15:15 GMT)
NEW YORK (AP) -- Hours after many New York firefighters gathered to mark the fourth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, a firefighter was arrested for attacking an immigrant worker and telling him he looked "like he's al-Qaeda," police said.
Firefighter Edward Dailey was arrested Sunday afternoon on charges of criminal mischief and felony second-degree assault, Police Sgt. Kevin Farrell said. It had not yet been determined whether the charges would be upgraded to a hate crime, he said.
Dailey, 27, is accused of breaking a piece of Plexiglas off a curbside news stand and throwing it at a 51-year-old man who works there, Farrell said. Dailey had said the man, an immigrant from Bangladesh, looked "like he's al-Qaeda," Farrell said.
The victim, whose arm was cut in the alleged attack, was treated at a local hospital and later released, Farrell said.
A woman who answered the phone at Dailey's home declined to comment.
Dailey was the class valedictorian at his FDNY graduation ceremony last year.
