Officer Regina Tasca Goes "Rogue"

04-29-2012 • by William N. Grigg (Pro Liberate)

Regina Tasca is a “rogue cop” – and God bless her for it.

Tasca is in the middle of disciplinary hearings that may result in her termination from the Bogota, New Jersey Police Department. She stands accused of “bizarre and outlandish” behavior in two incidents a year ago during which she revealed herself to be “A danger to other police officers.”

Her first supposed offense -- which wasn't mentioned until after the second -- was a failure to assist another officer who was “attacked” by a drunken woman who was roughly half his weight and barely five feet tall. Her second was was to intervene when a police officer from another jurisdiction viciously assaulted an emotionally troubled young man who was not suspected of a crime.

Whistleblowers never seem to win probably because they are reporting on a government thug. This reminded me of:

[Officer] "Hunt had reported to the training division that [her training Officer] Ho tried to enter a suspect's home without consent or probable cause, ordered a citizen to destroy a knife at the scene of an attempted assault and then told her [Hunt] to rewrite a report omitting facts about the knife; took free sodas from a 7-Eleven store against bureau policy; ran red lights when not responding to emergencies; and asked passengers of stopped cars for IDs without reasonable suspicion or probable cause."
