Brooklynbacon NYPD Blog site.
A shame, this doesn't represent ALL cops or even a large percentage of them. It does however remind me that lazy and unmotivated people are out there doing unprofessional jobs. Blogs and journals have become and important part of net culture. What parts of this are his free speach to express himself? What's stupidity of "saying too much" or "incriminating" himself? Should the IAD actually reprimand this person? Should your mom or your boss actually have any say about something you posted in your private journal?
brooklynbacon blog link ------- Blog Describes A Rogue Cop Brooklyn officer under investigation By Sean Gardiner STAFF WRITER December 23, 2003 A Brooklyn cop is being investigated over Internet postings that brag about beating suspects, writing phony tickets and ignoring calls to his precinct. The officer, identified by Internal Affairs investigators as a patrol cop who works in the 75th Precinct, purportedly uses the pseudonym Brooklynbacon and posts his messages on a site accessible through Xanga.com. Alongside pictures of motorcycle trick riders, naked women, photographs with comical captions and pictures of human oddities, Brooklynbacon posts messages supposedly about his job and, in some instances, his own misconduct. Any one of the offenses he describes could cost an officer his job. In railing against an unspoken traffic ticket quota he says officers must meet - 10 tickets per week, he contends - he writes: "The new commanding officer of the precinct is pressuring us to write more and more tickets. We were officially told NOT to write anymore tickets for headlights and taillights. Most people fix the problem within 24 hours and the ticket would be admonished [sic] therefore the City of New York makes no money in the end. "So I have come up with a better way of writing tickets. I just write down the plates of the cars that cut me off the the [sic] parkways and I send them a bogus parking ticket in the mail. The person will then have to deal with the Parking Violations Bureau and not me. Problem quickly resolved. So, in other words, be careful who you cut off on the road. They might be an off-duty cop and they could write your plates down and write you a $150 parking ticket. Have a nice day." A police source said Internal Affairs investigators are reviewing all tickets written by the suspected officer. Brooklynbacon answered an e-mail but did not respond to a request for an interview. According to a message posted yesterday, he's still on patrol. On the Web site, Brooklynbacon describes his area of expertise as "human sanitation worker." While he doesn't reveal his name or the precinct where he's assigned, he provides plenty of hints - a partial photograph of his face, the fact that he's an avid motorcycle rider and the police calls he alleges to have answered - that led investigators to identify him, sources said. Many postings on the site offer what appears to be the view of a dissatisfied cop. Brooklynbacon slams the NYPD's anti-terrorism training as a waste of time and rips on the poor quality of bulletproof vests officers are issued. He also ridicules the people he purportedly is called on to help, calling himself a "baby-sitter" and repeatedly saying that everyone he deals with is on welfare. In other postings, he flaunts his own alleged misconduct. After a particularly long shift, he wrote, he was called to the Crown Heights' 77th Precinct late in November to search for two men who stabbed an off-duty officer during a robbery attempt. When he arrived at the scene, scores of cops were already searching for the suspects so "my partner and I decided to sit inside the car and stay warm," he wrote. "Perhaps play some games on our mobile laptops inside the patrol cars? The other units conducted a door to door searches [sic] of every apartment in the building while I conducted eye lid maintenance. ZZzzzz." He also wrote that after getting into a motorcycle crash during the summer, he was assigned a desk job upon returning to work. He wrote that he quickly realized "they assigned me to the wrong position." "I have neither sympathy nor remorse when people call me up complaining about their problems. I have no feelings when people complain about loud music and I could really care less if they are seeking information regarding a family member that has been incarcerated. Cry me a river." In that same posting, submitted this fall, he said he expected to return to patrol within two weeks. "Sitting behind a desk and looking pretty is not my style," Brooklynbacon stated. "I am the type of person who loves getting my hands dirty whether it is chasing someone down a street or just giving them the 'good old fashion nypd beat down.' I hope you didn't think those beatings don't really exist do you?" On a separate posting detailing his alleged desk duty, he wrote that when people called the precinct trying to report a complaint, his pat response was "'I will send a patrol car there immediately' but in reality I will wait for them to call back at least 5 times before I really send someone over there."

We had a guy like that down here in North Carolina, except he was an elected sheriff. He and his officers prided themselves on their quotas and "beat downs," and all the rednecks from this county kept electing him. Finally the NC court system found him guilty of some financial offense just to get him out of office, they were so tired of his antics.

I thought a blog was more of actually TYPING things.. not finding random pictures on the net then saying some half assed comment about them. Then I saw a few actual comments from him.. about his work.... where he's just an asshole. He needs to be fired as far as I'm concerned.. A fellow cop get stabbed and he sits in his car instead of helping? Then complains he lost 30 minutes of his life? If you don't care for your career get the hell out!

And this guy is out there "protecting" the innocent?
![]() I say fire his ass. He was stupid enough to put down details about his bad attitude towards his job...he deserves to get caught and pay the price for his actions. And please, you pretty much have to accept the fact that anything you put out there in cyberland is not private information anymore.
