An off-duty undercover NYPD cop who denied any involvement as his fellow bikers ripped a father from his SUV and beat him has been seen on video smashing the rear window, it emerged today.
The footage apparently shows the unnamed officer, who is a veteran of seven years, banging on the window and shattering it before the driver was pulled from the vehicle.
The cop then rides away from the scene, sources told NBC. The video, which is being reviewed, is not the same as that which has been widely circulated following the September 29 attack.
Sources added to the New York Post that the cop initially told investigators he did not intervene because he arrived too late to stop the vicious beating.
The officer is assigned to the NYPD Intelligence Division, but sources did not reveal whether he was on assignment or whether his actions were a ploy to protect his cover.
Michael Palladino, president of the NYPD detectives' union, said the undercover officer was forced to make a difficult decision.
'Compromising his identity could compromise all the work he's doing and his safety as well,' Palladino told NBC. 'It's very difficult to lead a double life.'

This isn't one of those "blame just that one cop" things because there is a cover up (NYPD lying to the NY Post) and the identity of the officer is protected. I guess NYPD sucks so bad they've decided to take an "if you can't beat them, join them" attitude towards gangs.
