Oops, we beat up the wrong guy. Funny thing is, even if you beat up the 'right' guy, the city will still get sued and we all end up paying for it. Is it too much to ask for them to just do their jobs with composure? First rule of police work should be to not act like the thugs you are arresting. Is that too much to ask nowadays?

Man injured in fiery pursuit files $25M tort claim against city, police department

Updated 8:08 AM; Posted 8:00 AM
By Caitlin Mota The Jersey Journal

JERSEY CITY - The innocent West New York man who was kicked in the head by cops while he escaped the fiery wreckage of a car crash has filed a notice outlining his intent to sue the city and police department.

In the $25 million claim, Miguel Feliz says the police officers involved in the June 4 pursuit of Leo Pinkston used excessive force by dragging him away from the burning vehicles on Tonnelle Avenue and handcuffed him inside an ambulance without probable cause.

Officers plead not guilty in high-speed chase that ended in fiery crash

JERSEY CITY -- More than a dozen city police officers showed their support today at the arraignment of three current and one former officer charged in a high-speed chase in which shots were fired at the moving vehicle and an innocent bystander was beaten while on fire.

Attorneys for Officers Eric Kosinski, Francisco Rodriguez, Lt. Keith Ludwig and former Officer MD Kahn entered pleas of not guilty on behalf of their clients at this morning's hearing before Hudson County Superior Court Judge Nesle Rodriguez.

They are the ones sacrificing their family time and working long hours keeping

I guess reading comprehension is not your thing. If the headline was not enough to inform you (4 Jersey City police officers indicted in innocent man's beating after fiery crash) I guess you failed to read the article. Or, perhaps you read the article but were unable to understand it? The police beat up an innocent man who was a victim of an accident as the actual criminal/perpetrator tried to evade police and ran into him. This innocent man was in his car, minding his business, when the criminal evading police ran into him, causing his car to burst into flames, and the police then pulled him from the car and proceeded to beat him up. And, lucky for him, it was actually caught on video, which was then reviewed by the authorities (as you stated you wish would happen) and they decide the policemen involved should be indicted.

So, please tell us how this could or should have been handled differently!?

4 Jersey City cops suspended, 2 deputy chiefs reassigned over pursuit conduct

Updated on June 12, 2017 at 5:26 PM
Posted on June 12, 2017 at 3:16 PM

BY CAITLIN MOTA
The Jersey Journal


JERSEY CITY - Four Jersey City police officers were suspended without pay and two deputy chiefs reassigned following the high-speed pursuit on June 4 that ended in a fiery crash, critically injuring an innocent bystander.

Mayor Steve Fulop and Public Safety Director James Shea said during a City Hall press conference today that the suspensions are related to violations of policies on police pursuits and not to the actions seen in a video of the aftermath of the crash, which show officers kicking the bystander. Those actions are the focus of an investigation by the Hudson County Prosecutor's Offices, Fulop and Shea said today.

"This is the first step for all the officers involved to be held accountable for their actions," said Fulop, reading from a prepared statement.

Fulop and Shea said a preliminary internal investigation provided "multiple indications of our officers and supervisors acting outside of the guidelines and training."

The two local police unions have sharply criticized Fulop for announcing that he wants the officers who are seen on the video terminated and criminally charged. Robert Kearns, president of the Jersey City Police Superior Officers Association, said in a statement the union is "disappointed" in the mayor for not giving the officers "an opportunity for due process."

"We are confident that a thorough investigation will provide a clearer picture of the actions for the officers involved where they are allowed an opportunity to defend the same," Kearns said. "In the meantime, we have contacted our attorney to review the issue and take all appropriate actions. We will continue to discuss the situation with the administration as the investigation progresses and we will aggressively defend our members' rights going forward."

The four officers are Lt. Keith Ludwig, MD Kahn, Erik Kosinski and Francisco Rodriguez. Ludwig, who was promoted from sergeant on May 31, is a 24-year veteran of the department. Ludwig, Shea said today, has "an excellent record." The other three officers are recent additions to the force, joining between 2013 and 2015.

Ludwig was the supervisor responsible for overseeing the entire pursuit, Khan and Kosinski set up an unauthorized roadblock during the pursuit and Rodriguez fired at a moving vehicle, city officials said today. All are violations of state attorney general guidelines on police pursuits.

The three officers are recent additions to the force, joining between 2013 and 2015. Ludwig makes $137,172, Kahn and Kosinski each make $61,000 and Rodriguez makes $46,800, according to payroll records.

The two deputy chiefs being reassigned are Mark Hussey, chief of patrol, and John Corry Short, chief of investigations. Both have been on the force since 1979 and have both been reassigned to city command, which oversees the day-to-day operations of the department in the absence of the chief.

Fulop and Shea said Ludwig can be seen in the video but would not say if he is one of the officers seen kicking the innocent bystander.

The pursuit began just before 11 p.m. on Sunday, June 4 near Ocean and Cator avenues. Shea said the department's street crimes unit attempted to stop a car driven by Leo Pinkston, 48, because it matched the description of a vehicle wanted for a shooting a few days earlier. Pinkston refused to stop and the pursuit from Greenville ended in a crash on Tonnelle Avenue in the Heights.

Shots were fired at Pinkston's car on Tonnelle Avenue at the Manhattan and Carlton avenue intersections. At least two officers fired their guns, Shea said, confirming the 48-year-old was shot in the leg during the gunfire.

Miguel Feliz, 28, of West New York, was severely burned in the crash and remains hospitalized at the St. Barnabas Burn Center in Livingston. It is Feliz seen being kicked by officers in the video.

In a statement from today, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said her investigation is "ongoing and results are pending."

Last week, Suarez asked for the public not to rush to judgement on the video. Fulop, however, said the suspensions and departmental charges are warranted based on their internal investigation.

"We are basing our decisions today based on actions that we know are in clear violation of the guidelines," the mayor said, adding that infractions of police pursuit policies "are entirely in our jurisdiction."

City officials said about 20 officers were involved in the crash that lasted more than six minutes. Fulop said the actions of all officers involved are being looked at and others may be suspended as more information becomes available.

Journal staff writer Terrence T. McDonald contributed to this report.

"Bruh, pick your battles. There's a guy on fire, and a cop runs over and kicks him in the face.
This just cost our city millions of dollars

True. Unless the cop claims a leg injury from the kick. In which case he will sue the state for workman's comp.

pretty sure the strategy for putting out a fire is to smother it. Not sure a boot to the head or body qualifies as smothering.

The excuses coming from the union are certainly imaginative...

Bruh, pick your battles. There's a guy on fire, and a cop runs over and kicks him in the face.

Think of what the punishment would be if your or I kicked an officer, on fire, in the face.
Now apply that to the officer and you will have arrived at justice.

Series of bad decisions led to fiery crash, Jersey City mayor says

The Jersey Journal

JERSEY CITY -- About two dozen new recruits joined the Jersey City police force today as the department faces intense criticism over a video that shows cops kicking a man prosecutors call an innocent bystander to a police pursuit on Sunday night.

Mayor Steve Fulop, who yesterday stunned even those close to him by announcing he would seek to fire and arrest the officers seen in the video, told reporters today the cops' actions were the culmination of a series of bad decisions. He described the video as "outrageous."

Police "had a six-mile chase throughout Jersey City -- there's protocols on that," Fulop said. "They fired their weapons from their car at another moving vehicle. There are issues with that. There are issues with how they continued the chase after additional information (was released) ... it's one after the other."

This is the first time anyone has said officers fired from inside a car. The county prosecutor has said only that cops fired "multiple shots" at the vehicle they were pursuing.

The mayor spoke today at a hastily organized press conference moments before the 25 recruits were sworn in. He faced reporters on the second floor of City Hall, in front of a desk once used by Frank Hague.

The video at the center of the controversy shows the aftermath of a fiery crash that ended the police chase, which began late Sunday night in Greenville and ended with the crash near the North Bergen border. Authorities say the man seen in the video was not 48-year-old Leo Pinkston, the driver of the car police were pursuing, but an innocent man whose car was struck when Pinskton crashed into a utility pole.

The crash has pitted the administration against its police force, with cops saying they see the officers in the video attempting to extinguish the fire that had engulfed the innocent man. The local police officers union has made similar comments, and is blasting Fulop for saying yesterday that he wants cops criminally charged.

"Mayor Fulop speaks about protocols, but forgets that there are protocols in place to investigate incidents such as this one," Carmine Disbrow, president of the Jersey City Police Officers Benevolent Association, said in a statement. "We stand by our assertion that all matters related to Sunday's events should be thoroughly reviewed, but it is grossly inappropriate for Fulop to cast judgment without knowing all of the facts."

Councilman Rich Boggiano, a retired police detective, echoed the union's thoughts.

"No one -- but no one -- should ever make a statement until they know the facts ... remember Maryland," he said, referring to Baltimore's 2015 decision to prosecute six officers over the death of Freddie Gray (after three acquittals, all the charges against those officers were dropped.)

Fulop dismissed claims that the officers were helping the victim.

"A reasonable person that looks at that video would say that those do not look like helping hands," Fulop said.

The incident is the latest black eye for the Jersey City police force. Last week a now-suspended police lieutenant, Ray Mahan, made his first court appearance on charges he caused a car collision in March while speeding through a red light in a police car he shouldn't have been driving. And the department has for years been the target of a federal investigation into off-duty work that city officials believe will result in multiple arrests.

In his remarks today, Fulop called these cases "isolated" incidents that do not indicate anything troubling about the department or its leadership.

"You could pick isolated cases throughout the year of officers acting irresponsibly," he said. "You're going to have an officer and city employees making mistakes and doing the wrong things ... the police department is making tremendous progress."

The city is seeking to hire its third police chief of Fulop's four-year tenure (the mayor demoted the first and the second retired last week).

Public Safety Director James Shea has been overseas on a vacation and is expected to return tomorrow. Fulop said he has been in contact with Shea multiple times daily about Sunday's incident and the two men decided jointly that the officers involved in kicking the innocent man should be identified, terminated and face criminal charges.

The officers seen in the video have yet to be identified, Fulop said today. There was a mixture of rookies and veterans on the scene Sunday night, the mayor said.

The victim remains hospitalized and is in stable condition, according to prosecutors. A spokesman for Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez, who is handling the investigation of Sunday's incident, declined to comment on Fulop's comments today.

Council President Rolando Lavarro told The Jersey Journal today that the video is "atrocious."

"It's terrible," Lavarro said. "I don't want to jump to conclusions here but the video speaks for itself."

I'm curious to what other people are seeing in this video. Did they kick the burn victim (my prayers to him - how awful!) or were they stamping out flames?



It looks like one or more of the hacks Fulop hired in his push to put under qualified minorities on the force will be getting the hammer.

#Get the memo


JFC!
So you can tell from that video that those officers are minorities?

I'd say the first guy got 2 kicks in, but it looks like the rest are trying to stamp out the fire, and then they drag him away from the burning car.

So kicking unarmed BURNING accident victims in the face is the swell politically correct thing to do, right greenville ?

IGreg, you're a prick who thinks he knows it all but is just as retarted as the rest of the political ideology hacks. You jump to conclussions just as fast as the equally retarded liberals you as rag on. Retards like you are the idiots who think electing morons from a different party is the solution to everything, even though reality always never seems to match your dreams.

Stamping out a fire on a person?! Seems a bit odd to me jerseymom... No need to be curious, the answer is right there in that video. Think about it for a moment.... It's one of those situations where you ask: but why didn't the dog bark?

Surely police cruisers (especially the brand new SUV variety, with all the bells and whistles) carry fire extinguishers and those fire blankets used to smother flames? How many police vehicles and officers were there? Didn't somebody, anybody, think of using the standard issue safety equipment supplied for exactly these kinds of hazardous situations? Don't JC police have training and SOP's so they're ready and know how to deploy and use relatively simple safety measures that save lives....? Or were they really just kicking, oops, stamping, out of the fire, believing that was the thing to do...?

First couple kicks weren't to stomp out any flames. The first kick you can clearly see force was behind it and was used to put him down. You can see how his body reacts to the first two kicks. Towards the end it does look like after trying to hurt him a few light stomps were used to put out any flames that might of been left before dragging him across the concrete.

I can just imagine how much pain that guy was in to get kicked and dragged after being in a car accident and having his skin burned.

Also heard the reason for the shooting was police set up a road block of the path of the driver during the chase. Something they aren't supposed to do. That is what must have led up to the shooting and not the first explanation that the driver tried to go in between two lanes of traffic. They left out the part they were blocking the road. I guess we are going to have to wait and see what info comes out next and how much truth is behind that.

It looks like one or more of the hacks Fulop hired in his push to put under qualified minorities on the force will be getting the hammer.

I will make a couple of comments regarding the Sunday Night Pursuit from my pov.

I was right in saying the new police cruisers took part in the pursuit. I did not know there was police chase. Almost every available units responded.

I'm reserving my opinion on how all these cruisers drove to the scene. But I will add the traffic lights on the stretch of Kennedy from 139 to the accident scenes is red light-green light-red light.

Jersey City cop cars at center of tug of war after police pursuit

BY TERRENCE T. MCDONALD tmcdonald@jjournal.com
The Jersey Journal

JERSEY CITY -- The day after a six-mile police pursuit ended in a fiery crash on Tonnelle Avenue, the city demanded the police precincts involved return the brand-new police SUVs issued to them last week, The Jersey Journal has learned.

The action, which law-enforcement sources say was ordered by Public Safety Director James Shea, resulted in a public rebuke from the local police officers union. Forcing the return of the SUVs -- 12 in total -- affects minimum manpower requirements by leaving some officers without cars to drive, the sources said.
