The Duty to Intercede

A female sergeant’s shocking dereliction of duty on behalf of the Yonkers Police Department has become the most recent out of the long litany of examples as to why a woman is not suited for the role of policeman.


“Disturbing video shows two brothers beating and stomping on another man’s head in Yonkers this week – while a responding sergeant apparently does little to stop the attack.


Footage obtained by The Post shows the siblings – one of them shirtless – punching and grappling with another man at Yonkers Avenue and Ridgewood Road and then pushing the victim against a parked car just before 6:30 p.m. on October 26th.


A female sergeant is shown getting out of a double-parked cruiser and slowly approaching the fighting men, appearing to say something to them – but not physically intervening at all.




Seconds later, the victim, seen with a bloodied face, falls to the ground, the video shows.



The sergeant then simply stands by for a moment before gesturing for one of the assailants to get back – and grabbing the arm of the other as he continues to stomp on the man’s head and punch him, the footage shows.


By the end of the clip, two more officers finally intervene.


The men shown in the footage were part of a group of several guys who were involved in a clash at a local bar that spilled outside and turned violent, according to Yonkers Police.


Brothers Jonathan Teelin, 26, of Mount Kisco, and Feelix Teelin, of Hastings-on-Hudson were arrested and charged with felony assault, cops said.


The victim, a 26-year-old Yonkers resident, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to recover, police said.


The Yonkers Police administration is also ‘conducting an internal inquiry into the initial police response’, authorities said.


As of Friday, the sergeant had not been suspended or placed on modified duty, police sources said”. -Amanda Woods, New York Post


It comes as no surprise that it took a male Samaritan to rush to the victim’s defense, since the female in uniform who collects a paycheck to serve and protect was downright useless in every sense of the word.


The simple fact of the matter is that women in policing are not real policemen. They wear badges, and they may even pass the academy at the top of their class, but, their feminine qualities remain unchanged.


They’re damsels dressed to look like policemen. They receive special treatment for being female, have minimal respect for their duty to the public, pay lip service to equality, then cry foul when they get treated the same as their male co-workers, and, all too often, their advance in pay grade is tied not to their job performance, but which restrooms they happen to use in order to fulfill hiring quotas.


Men don’t take them seriously because they don’t take the job, the standards of police service, the citizenry they swore an oath to protect and serve, or even themselves seriously.


This woman epitomizes the inaneness of affirmative action, as she was undoubtedly promoted to sergeant rank purely in order to diversify the Yonkers Police Department.


One would think that parking ticket detail would be more appropriate for her style of nonintervention.
