The New York Police Department (NYPD) has reportedly fired an officer in connection with an off-duty shooting earlier this month, police said Friday.

The New York Post reported that Sgt. Ritchard Blake, 40, was terminated on Friday after NBC's New York affiliate reported a video that appears to show Blake planting a knife alongside 21-year-old Thavone Santana after the Aug. 2 shooting occurred.

NYPD commissioner James O’Neill said earlier this month that it appeared as if Blake was attempting to plant the weapon on Santana. Santana survived the shooting and his family called for Blake's removal from the force.

“That’s what it looks like,” O’Neill told local news station WPIX 11 of the allegations that Blake had attempted to plant a weapon near Santana. “But there’s an investigation that needs to be done to determine that.”

1. When the cop is black, female, or both black and female, then

sometimes they will be fired and even charged for obvious crimes in abusing citizens.

3. Yup.

And when they are white, they are usually acquitted and even rehired.

Bad cops no matter what race, don't need to be LEOs in any case.

4. Send the bastard cop to prison

This jack ass tried to kill a person. This jack ass should be in jail, then court, then prison. I think his retirement should be REVOKED for bad service and fired for being DISHONEST. This should strike terror in other dishonest cops........
