NY Police Sergeant Opens Underwater Hatch, Sinks New $500,000 Boat
This story from the New York Post was shared with us by Joe.
A $500,000 Port Authority patrol boat sank this month after a veteran police sergeant took the advice of a clueless civilian safety instructor — and opened a hatch while it was under water, The Post has learned.
“It was like opening a window during a carwash,” one PA insider lamented of the screw-up off Breezy Point, Queens, that left 11 people scrambling for their lives.
Nobody was seriously injured, but eight cops and three civilians had to either swim to safety or be rescued as the 37-foot M-2 model Moose Boats craft sank 40 feet to the ocean floor about 300 yards off shore.
PA sources said the sergeant who ordered the hatch open is expected to face disciplinary action. They refused to identify him. He will likely lose vacation days for failing to maintain supervisory control and basically abdicating his command to a civilian during the Sept. 9 debacle, they said.

Why has this story been shared on CopBlock.org? It is important to remember who pays the salary of police officers, and who should hold them accountable when they make bad decisions. Also, when police officers (or other government employees) screw up, whether by opening a hatch below water-level and sinking a $500,000 boat or intentionally harming an individual, in the end, you are still the one who is forced to pay for their mistakes. Whose hard-earned money do you think will be used to repair the damage or replace the boat? - Kate
