Two cops from Brooklyn’s embattled 81st Precinct were charged Friday with making a trumped-up arrest – in a sting operation caught on video.
Like a couple of Keystone Kops, Sgt. Raymond Stukes and Officer Hector Tirado barged in on an Internal Affairs Bureau integrity test actually targeting another cop, sources said.
The undercover IAB officer, carrying a backpack filled with packs of cigarettes, was talking to the intended target when Stukes and Tirado showed up at the corner of Chauncey St. and Howard Ave. in Brownsville on Sept. 3.
Unaware that IAB was videotaping the action, Stukes and Tirado began questioning the undercover cop conducting the sting.
He told them the cigarettes had legitimate tax stamps, but they hauled him into stationhouse and ended up hitting him with bogus charges: that he tried to sell bootleg cigarettes to two people.
i was wrongfully impounded by Washington State Patrol trooper Dustin Drout Badge# 433. Today 01/14/11 i had court to get impound fee back and he came out and lied Under Oath about my distance from DNR Gate which i hunt. i was at least 17(i measured exactly after court) yards from gate out of way BUT he, the dirt bag that he is said i was less then 15ft from it.
i heard about Pigs lying under oath BUT i finally experienced it personally.
Welcome to the club.
Let me be VERY clear. Cops are liars. They regularly lie under oath. The are taught to lie to suspects and witnesses.
NEVER trust ANYTHING a Cop tells you. NEVER!
