Bad Cop: Officer suspended by NYPD for failing to help woman save daughter dying of asthma




The NYPD has suspended a cold-hearted Brooklyn cop who failed to help a woman as she frantically drove her dying daughter to a hospital, police said.


Quote from the article:

Briana, whose funeral is today, suffered an asthma attack while playing at a Carroll Gardens park.

Her mother called 911, but opted instead to drive Briana to Long Island College Hospital.

Mendez, who has been on theforce for five years and hadnot had a major disciplinary issue, stopped Ojeda after she turned the wrong way down a one-way street a few blocks from the hospital.

Ojeda, 35, of Boerum Hill, had insisted she was pulled over by an NYPD cop who acted surly and claimed not to know cardiopulmonary resuscitation - althoughall NYPD cops receive such training.

She said the officer followed her to the hospital, where Briana died about an hour after arrival.
