On-duty NYPD officer charged with DWI after shooting partner
Link to Story
NEW YORK (WABC) -- An on duty NYPD detective accidentally shot his partner in the wrist in Queens overnight, and was charged with driving while intoxicated, police sources say.
Detective Jay Poggi shot his partner, both assigned to the 75th Precinct in Brooklyn, in the wrist at about 1:50 a.m. Thursday morning.
Police say Poggi and his partner were driving to a Queens location as part of an investigation when he accidentally fired his .38 caliber revolver.
According to court documents, Poggi was showing his partner the barrel of his gun, and the weapon went off.
The partner, a 12 year veteran, was shot in the wrist.
Detective Poggi rushed his partner to Jamaica Hospital where he required surgery, and is listed in stable condition.
Poggi's lawyer says the officer was just trying to save his partner's life. "He drove his partner to the hospital," said attorney James Moschella. "And part of the allegation of driving while intoxicated is driving his partner to get life-saving treatment at the hospital, which you certainly can't fault him for."
Officials say Poggi refused to submit to a breath-alcohol test following the shooting. He was charged with driving while intoxicated, and has been released on his own recognizance. His driver's license has been suspended.
According to court documents, Poggi's blood alcohol level was .113 when the legal limit is .08.
Poggi's next court date is June 16th.
The NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau is investigating the incident.

THIS
I can't even begin to state how this makes my blood boil. The sense of entitlement that some of them project is disgusting.
Last weekend, one fuccking ass driving a cop car WHILE looking down at his phone almost hit me and my children as we were crossing the street.
He was proceeding to make a right turn and didn't see us enter the cross walk. I screamed out 'watch it' as he looked up from his phone. He gave me a dirty look as if I DID something wrong and proceeded to stare me down as I continued to walk across the street. WTF!!!
I was seeing RED...RED!!!

Re: On-duty NYPD officer charged with DWI after shooting partner
He HAD to drive to the hospital like that to SAVE the partner's LIFE?!! 
The lawyer is completely ignoring the fact that he is ON DUTY!
Oy vey 
It's just a shame - many people, thankfully not all, will see this awful story and then paint many or all officers as "all the same" and that's terrible. There really are bad apples in every bunch and this is SO disappointing - being drunk ON duty and then driving that way.

Exactly.
And let me tell you it makes the blood boil of MANY of the GOOD officers who would never do something like this because then so many people judge them as if they WOULD do something like this just because there are a few bad ones in the grouping that do! SO upsetting!!
