New footage shows an off-duty cop from Long Island rear-ending a car with his truck at over 50mph and fracturing the skull of a 2-year-old boy. The officers who arrived at the scene broke all protocols to shield David Mascarella from alcohol testing.
Lock up every cop involved.

Suffolk police shielded an off-duty officer from alcohol testing after he crashed a pickup truck into the back of a car at an estimated speed of more than 50 mph, fracturing the skull of a 2-year-old boy and causing lasting injuries, a Newsday investigation has determined.
At the wheel of a 4,500-pound Dodge Ram, Officer David Mascarella rear-ended a 2,000-pound Mitsubishi subcompact on Middle Country Road in St. James in August 2020. A witness reported to police that Mascarella had driven erratically for approximately a mile-and-a-half before the collision.
The Mitsubishis driver, Kevin Cavooris, had slowed to make a left turn. His two sons, Bastian, then 4, and Riordan, then 2, were buckled into car seats. Mascarella was multiple car lengths behind them. The police accident report and crime scene diagram reflected no evidence that he braked before the pickup slammed into the Mitsubishi.
The impact crushed the Mitsubishis hatchback area, spun the car 180 degrees into the opposite traffic lane and threw Cavooris head into the steering wheel, breaking his nose. Bastians thighs, shoulders and chest were bruised by the car seats harness. Riordans skull cracked into pieces resembling a jigsaw puzzle. The Ram continued forward with little damage.

All we can do is hope that there won't be any police misconduct.

They even have their own gang symbol: flags with a blue line down the middle.
They don't care whose lives they destroy as long as it protects one of their own.
