**PROFANITY WARNING**

Our account begins in medias res, with an NYPD officer issuing a directive at an Uber driver through the driver's side window: "Stop it with your mouth, stop it with your, 'For what sir? For what sir?' Stop it with that bull####, and realize the three vehicle and traffic law violations you committed."

It's unclear what violations the driver committed on the West Side Highway yesterday. According to the YouTube description, the officer was attempting to park his unmarked vehicle without using his blinker and the driver let him know.

"When you're driving up my ass, when I'm trying to park the car, and then you have to do something with your hands," the officer in a collared shirt and tie explains.

"People are allowed to park their cars on the side of the street without your interference and then you're opinion about what's going on. Especially when the person you do it to are the police!"

The Police are special people. About the only people left on earth who can demand respect.

Not that they always deserve it.

They have the authority to shove it up your butt, and they want you to know it.

Not all of them are like that, but it does seem to be more than a few.

The angry lawman who was caught on camera belittling an Uber driver during a bias-fueled tirade in the West Village is an NYPD detective assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force, police sources confirmed Tuesday.

The incident will be handed over to the Civilian Complaint Review Board, cop sources said, because it was determined that Cherry committed no other wrongdoing besides being discourteous, the sources said.

Cherry was on his way to work after visiting Detective Harry Hill at NYU Langone Medical Center when the interaction occurred, a police source said. Hill is in critical condition after going into cardiac arrest during a procedure on his elbow on Thursday, the source said.

Michael Palladino, president of the Detectives Endowment Association, said Hill's medical condition has led emotions to run high on the Joint Terrorism Task Force, a unit that combines NYPD and federal anti-terror investigators.

"The past five days have been emotionally draining for the members of the JTTF dealing with their fellow detective's health," Palladino said. "Despite what some people think, cops have feelings, too."

I don't know about you, but I'm glad this guy's bad day didn't cause an innocent person to be locked up. Luckily the cop didn't feel like he was "important enough" and "had better things to do".

Not sure why it's being investigated though. If an officer can choke a guy out, on camera, and have nothing come of it, this sure as hell won't go anywhere. If anything, the officer will get a (much needed, apparently) paid vacation.

Cops have bad days too.

Sometimes people who are not cops have bad days, but we have no one to take our frustrations out on.

Sure it's easy to understand how people can have bad days.Everyone has one once in a while.
The guy blew off steam. Hope he uses this incident to learn from.

If Cherry gets this emotional after visiting an ill cop, perhaps Cherry shouldn't be driving. It's a damn good thing he's not a Germanwings pilot or something.
