Members of the [Police Department’s Conditions Unit] are expected to work in uniform, [New York City’s police commissioner] Bratton said, and the officers who arrested Mr. Grays were wearing street clothes. After the arrest, which resulted in Mr. Grays being issued a summons for disorderly conduct, the officers were removed from their assignments and put on patrol pending an investigation by the Internal Affairs Bureau, the commissioner said.

…The arrest forced Mr. Grays to leave a United States postal truck unattended, raising questions about potential violations of federal law regarding the interruption of mail delivery. A representative of the United States Postal Service said in an email last week that its Office of Inspector General was investigating the matter. That an unsecured truck had been left double-parked on a busy street after Mr. Grays was taken into custody “would be a significant issue of concern in terms of the investigation going forward,” Mr. Bratton said.

…In an interview last week, Mr. Grays said he was not given a seatbelt. On the way to the 71st Precinct, he said, the car struck a vehicle in front of it.

…Over the past six years at least three of the officers involved have been named in federal civil rights suits alleging false arrest, among other claims.

Bratton Has ‘Strong Concerns’ About Arrest of a Mailman in Brooklyn

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I can only hope the USPS throws the book at them and every officer is not only convicted of multiple charges but ends up in jail, where they so clearly belong.
