Road Rage Hero Pulls Gun on Motorist

According to a NY Daily News report, NYPD Officer Donald Vale chased down a woman whose driving did not meet with his approval, brandished a gun at her and threatened her. The woman had the presence of mind to note the psycho Hero’s license plate number and reported the incident.

Vale later confessed to brandishing his weapon to New York State Police investigators after being tracked down to his house. He’s now facing a second degree menacing charge and a pretty vicious slap on the wrist, once his payed vacation ends.
