From [HERE] An off-duty white undercover police detective has been arraigned on upgraded charges alleging he participated in the gang assault of a sport-utility vehicle driver last week in Manhattan. Detective Wojciech Braszczok was seen on video as he was escorted from court Wednesday afternoon with a hood covering his face. Thus far, the media has declined to show any photographs of the alleged outlaw officer. Rather, the media shows photo and video of the persons of color invovled - all civillians, who have no sworn duty to protect & serve or to be truthful to the public. 

The charges against Wojciech Braszczok were much more serious than the police initially said. He could face five years in prison if convicted on all the counts. Like some of the other bikers, Braszczok has been charged with assault, gang assault and criminal mischief, 1010 WINS’ Juliet Papa reported.

Prosecutors said Braszczok forgot his duty to serve and protect. They said the off-duty detective was an active participant in the mob of motorcyclists chasing and terrorizing SUV driver Alexian Lien and his family.

Prosecutors also said Braszczok did not render appropriate assistance at the scene, failed to promptly report the beatdown at the scene, and misled investigators about his exact involvement. A judge on Wednesday allowed audio recording in court, but no video cameras. Assistant District Attorney Samantha Turino told Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Tamiko Amaker that witness video showed Braszczok joining in on the attack on the SUV.

“Much of what I have described, your honor – including this assault – was captured on video in what can only be described as a brutal and brazen attack on the driver and his family, in which this defendant is an active participant,” Turino told the judge. “This defendant also did nothing to stop it, including not calling 911.”

Turino claimed while some of the bikers were pulling Lien out of the SUV, Braszczok “is on video breaking the rear window of the SUV and causing it to shatter.” [MORE]
