Hamill: Rogue NYPD 'cowboy cops' need to go

DENIS HAMILL

After watching videos of two troubling arrests that led to two officers being placed on modified assignment, two really important points need to be made.

One: Neither case is specifically about race.

Two: These “cowboy cops” gotta be run out of Dodge.

Less than a week after Eric Garner was videotaped dying while being arrested for selling loosies on Staten Island, another NYPD cop, Joel Edouard, 36, was filmed in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, violently arresting Jahmiel Cuffee on suspicion of marijuana possession.
