It was with some degree of amazement that I read through this story. Mind you, I was not surprised that the New York Police Department had not yet fired this officer. There is, of course, a bargaining unit to be reckoned with, and applicable disciplinary protocols.
I was, however, surprised that this imbecile seems to have somehow thought his career could survive this particular bit of misconduct. Several states removed from his jurisdiction, while attending a bachelor party in Tennessee, he decided to force his way into the home of some local residents, and threaten them with bodily harm, while also peppering his threats of violence with racial slurs.
When Nashville police responded to the scene, they were not amused. Nor, it seems, was the judge, who passed sentence of fifteen days in the pokey, after Officer New-York's-Finest "copped" (in the literal sense) to assault and aggravated criminal trespass. Not shockingly, word of all this somehow made it back to New York, and after staving off the inevitable for approximately three months, the officer tendered his resignation in lieu of proceeding in the disciplinary process. Reading between the lines, one might conclude that his union rep likely had a few words to say as to what might just be best for everyone concerned.
