Video shows shirtless New York judge shove police officer

I'd hate to think what would have happened if the judge were black.

Lucky he got taken in in a squad car and not a body bag because the cop wasn't "in fear of his life" and so didn't fill him full of lead. It's been known to happen even without touching a cop.

I'm not sure whats worse. A shirtless judge pushing a police officer or getting into a neighborly dispute where the police need to be called. I would have thought judges would make good neighbors. I wonder what the dispute was about in the first place. Loud music?

Cuomo's buddy??  no wonder he name drops and tries to pull rank.  That's how they roll.

His lawyer lamely explains why he shoved the officer... like what? It's Ok?

The judge should have been charged with obstructing the duties of a police officer and spent a night in jail. Anybody else, and they'd have been arrested and charged. Ditto HonestDictator.

Sigh, here goes the "entitled" elitism fanatics again. Abuse of power is the basic term of this. As long as law enforcement is doing its job as required by law this hilarious excuse of a judge should be smart enough to step back and deal with things legally. But nope, "I'm friends with the mayooooooorrrrr, I'll have youuuurrrrr jooooob! Because I think I'm a bigwig and my family should be above the laaaaaaaaw I supposedly swore to uphold!"

So now you have half-dressed judges in nice, expensive neighborhoods shouting, swearing, yelling and shoving cops? America's social and moral decline into full idiocracy is full steam ahead.

just handcuff both of them, what a shame

Disbar him.
