Cop Fired For Blogging Off The Job About The Job
Topics: BlogosphereOperating under the name Polecat, Police Officer Edward Polstein, a highly decorated housing cop for 18 years, was fired because of his Web site, NYPD Rant - a forum for disgruntled cops that like the name of his sight, is a rant forum for him and his fellow police brethren to take shots at Mayor Bloomberg, top cop Raymond Kelly, pompous bosses and even the police union. (good job!)
Apparently the police brass had no sense of humor and brought departmental charges that led to the dismissal of Polstein, who is now unemployed and trying to figure out how to support a wife and three daughters. But Polstein defiantly says he did nothing wrong and is gearing up for a legal battle in federal court.
