Late Night Open Thread: Two Disgraced NYPD Cops are Possible Suspects in Long Island Murders

According to Brad Hamilton at the New York Post, one former and one current member of the NYPD may be suspects in the Long Island serial killer case.
One cop was forced out of the job in the 1990s when his supervisors learned he spent time pursuing hookers and paying street walkers and down-and-out women for sex while he was supposed to be on patrol.
An internal investigation led to his resigning under pressure, one source said.
The other officer still works for the NYPD but was stripped of his gun and badge years ago because he allegedly assaulted a prostitute and got arrested during a sting operation….
The patrolman was allowed to return to the force, they said, though he was placed on modified duty — transferred to a paper-pushing job in Manhattan where he’s not allowed to make arrests or respond to emergencies.
Yikes! That’s creepy. There is no evidence the two cops knew each other. They are not the only suspects investigators are looking at either.
In related news, police suspect the body of a young Asian male found recently beside Ocean Parkway recently may be the remains of a missing college student, Jimmy Tsui. Tsui disappeared without a trace in 1998.
Yim Yeung Tsui (“Jimmy”), 19, a student at Stony Brook University was headed into his junior year. He was last seen leaving his residence in New Hyde Park, New York on 8/26/98 when he disappeared under unknown circumstances. He has not been seen since.
Jimmy Tsui went missing in New York less than 3 months after Yeshiva University student Joshua Bender disappeared.
Apparently, there were a series of mysterious disappearances of young men, and their bodies later turned up in various bodies of water in NYC.

well, that’s an explanation for the perfect dumping grounds and the multiple victims with the looks of multiple killers… partner serial killers with law enforcement background would explain lots.
I should have explained–there is no evidence these two knew each other. They are just two possible suspects.
ah, I kinda thought it had the looks of a team effort, maybe I’ve been watching criminal minds too much
It’s always a possibility. I updated the post.
Typical…
Yeah, and the Post headline is “Two NY cops with a history of hooker trouble.” Ugh.
This attitude toward women is so pervasive. That attitude is the reason so many women in the sex trade are killed and the perpetrators can get away with it.
Remember this policeman? Remember that the one receiving the sympathy was the attacker, to the point that even the reporters were threatened and the victim offered money to keep quiet/drop the charges.
Does anyone know if this guy/attacker in this video remained on the force?
Chicago Police Officer (Anthony Abbate) Attacks Female Bartender
No time, because Anthony Abbate claims he was defending himself. 😯 Gee, the video shows, the woman being beating unprovoked, but don’t believe your lying eyes according to the judge.
Cop beats female bartender, gets no jail time. Causes Outrage!
Exactly…which is why the IMF case has to be about something besides assult…they are not pulling him off that plane because he attacked a hotel maid…like they care anout that….has to be another reason
And the Indiana SC is telling us that illegal entry by cops is just hunky-dory.
Go get ’em, Lady Sekhmet! (She’s the lion-headed Egyptian Goddess of war and healing. There are times when she’s not terribly polite.)
