    • Brian Harrodbadge iconNeeca Gibbons, don’t you ever give up?nNeeca Gibbons, make your point that that you think that the families of these four teenagers killed in a #YPD involved pursuit dont deserve a free, open and transparent internal police investigation and then move on.And Neeca Gibbons, you can pretend not to know about the #Yonkers friends and family network and how it operates in #Yonkers, but you are not fooling any of the nearly 10,000 members of the Yonkers Newswire.Neeca Gibbons, I am not “blaming the police”, but I am saying there needs to be a fair, open and transparent investigation of this #YonkersPD involved deadly crash that slaughtered four kids.Neeca Gibbons, a reporter honestly seeking the truth is not seeking to be only “blaming the police”, it is merely asking for Police statement discrepancies to be explained to concerned public members.Neeca Gibbons, please take screen shots, but there is no desire to delete anything.Neeca Gibbons, people can see that there are a great many discrepancies in what the #YonkersPolice have told and released to the public.Neeca Gibbons, people also saw that you did not answer the question that asked…..Neeca Gibbons, why are you trying to obstruct a fair, open and transparent Yonkers Police Department investigation that brings out the truth and lets the chips fall where they may?

  • Benny BurgosYou saw one intersection where the cop was slowing down meaning he was coming at a high rate of speed and only start letting off two blocks before the accident. It was a police chase.

  • Lauren Jamison HuberThis is inflammatory. It was horrific but it was the fault of the driver.Seek justice? Although doubtful that the driver had insurance but if he did go to the insurance company. To in any way fan the flames that a reasonable pursuit by police caused this driver with an unlawful history to drive in a way to avoid prosecution and then kill 4 people is the culpable variable here is irresponsible.Some dirtbag lawyers are probably already out there.I have nothing to “admit”.Police chase bad guys. Bad guys make bad decisions. Innocent people get hurt.The fault here is at the feet of that driver. That’s it.5

    • Brian Harrodbadge iconOh boy, you two just will not stop, I have been told the Yonkers Police Department the cars are equipped with #GPS, but the Yonkers PBA union wont allow GPS to be used.Ru Ros, it sort of like how Keith Olson would not allow #YonkersPD officers to wear body cameras for years even though there were free federal grants to give the #YPD body cameras when Barack Obama was in office.Ru Ros, you often to show up to cover a relative minor incident and find over a dozen police cars up a down the street as people post on the Yonkers Voice Central that they call for help from the #YonkersPolice repeatedly for assistance, with out getting the help they need.Ru Ros, this is because the police officers basically choose which calls they respond to and dispatch themselves.Ru Ros in efficient police departments the inexpensive #GPS units are installed and functioning and the police dispatchers can see exactly where the patrol cars are and can immediately dispatch them to exactly where they are needed.Ru Ros, right now a commercial burglar alarm, that ninety percent of the time turns out to be nothing, will get four cars responding while a complaint about a large escalating argument at the Whitney Young Housing Project wont get an officer that wants to take the call.But Ru Ros after that large escalating argument at the Whitney Young Housing Project turns into a stabbing or shooting, then over a dozen @Yonkers Police Department cars will show up.Ru Ros, in my opinion Keith Olson should allow functional GPS units in all of the YPD vehicles and let the dispatchers start choosing which officer responds to which call based on their availability and position – instead of letting individual officers say if they will take the call or not.Ru Ros, too many quality of life issues get ignored, because Keith Olson wont allow inexpensive #PS units that would let dispatchers immediately assign nearby officers to a resident’s call.Ru Ros, we don’t need over a dozen police cars to most of the exciting police scenes you cover for the Yonkers Voice.Ru Ros, we need that residents call to be answered ASAP and make sure that Yonkers taxpayers should not have to call multiple times for police assistance.

Focusing on what the cop did or didn’t do has nothing to do with the fact some asshole was driving down one of our streets at a high rate of speed and killed 4 teenage kids who just graduated in June and had there whole life ahead of them. Focusing on the cop car takes away from the 4 teenagers and that’s not fair to them.

    • Brian Harrodbadge iconOmar Colon, if the Yonkers Police Department dangerous high speed chase had, in fact been been terminated, then the #YonkersPD cruiser would not have been not speeding into the deadly crash site less than 15 seconds later.And Omar Colon, the #YPD would not be editing out the #YonkersPolice cruisers arrival from the highly edited and looped gas station video showing the #Yonkers teens being slaughtered,Omar Colon, its odd that the video can show the catastrophic deaths of these kids, but not of the Yonkers Police Departmentcruiser flying into the scene less than 15 seconds later.Omar Colon, do you even understand what the word terminated means, as in “terminated the high speed police pursuit in accordance with department procedures.”?

  • Brian Harrodbadge icon#SMH…. Omar Colon, what you fail to realize is that the Yonkers Police Department knew the person thet were chasing very well and had many encounters with him.#FACTSAnthony Repetti they could have picked him up on the motor vehicle violation at any time and did not need to chase him into the car of these four #Yonkers kids – who won’t be home for Christmas tomorrow.Mary C McCrohan there are #YonkersPD sources that are saying the #YPD even knew #DevonHaywood, had the street name “Telz”.Lauren Jamison Huber the Yonkers Police Department even put out a statement that he had a history of reckless driving in #Yonkers.Omar Colon the truth is #YonkersPolice sources say they knew “Telz” well and that he served four years in federal prison after pleading guilty to selling 5 grams of crack cocaine in 2005 and had been on probation in the city of hills.Anthony Repetti one police sources says that in 2018 “Telz” pleaded guilty to a drug possession charge and was sentenced to do a year in the #WestchesterCounty jail and might of fled, because he feared a late night curfew parole violation that would have sent him back to jail..Mary C McCrohan I am also told that the Yonkers Police Department knew “Telz” very well, because he had lived at various addresses in Yonkers, where all of his criminal activity occurred.Lauren Jamison Huber, the Yonkers Police Department, for some reason, is trying to make it out that they had no clue who this #MountVernon resident was.When in fact the Mount Vernon address is that of a relative.Omar Colon, it is strange that the @Yonkers Police Department has not released the exact equipment viiolations that lead to these four kids tragic deaths and this have caused some to question if “Telz” was even stopped legally.Anthony Repetti they did not find drugs at the crash scene and soon the #WestchesterCounty medical examiner’s autopsy report will tell us if “Telz” was intoxicated at the time of the traffic stop.Mary C McCrohanfor all we know “Telz” could have been running, because he feared a Yonkers Police Departmentass beating, but I highly doubt that.Lauren Jamison Huber this is why it is important fotr the Yonkers Police Department to release recordings of the police radio recordings, before and during the high speed police pursuit, as well as, the police radio recordings at the deadly crash scene.1

Charles E. Sydnor III was driving in the left lane on a nearly empty, unfamiliar highway when a state trooper pulled him over.Sydnor’s wife and three daughters — ages 9, 10 and 13 — were in the car.“Are you going to jail?” one of his girls asked.The trooper said Sydnor, who is Black, had been driving too slowly. A new Virginia law made driving slowly in the left lane a primary offense, meaning an officer could pull over and ticket the motorist.Sydnor, then 44, explained he was following his sister and her family in the car ahead and was about to make a left turn. He had seen a 45 mph speed limit sign in a school zone so had slowed down from 55.The trooper proceeded to educate Sydnor on the law, saying the speed limit was 45 only if the sign’s lights were flashing, which they were not. White officers stopping Black motorists for routine traffic violations can have deadly results for Black men, and Sydnor’s mind flashed to how this one might go horribly wrong.The trooper “had this attitude. It felt as though he wanted to show he was in charge in front of my wife and daughters,” Sydnor said in an interview. “I wasn’t disrespectful to him. He didn’t need to talk to me like that.”….https://www.pewtrusts.org/…/police-pretext-traffic…

  • Keith OlsonMore inflammatory, misleading bullshit. No surprise that you teamed up with that other low life blogger on this one. On one hand you want to blame the police but then cry for an open and fair investigation. As usual you jump to your own anti-police conclusions.When the investigation is over you’ll be disappointed to know that you there was no pursuit. Yes, Haywood ran from the police but the police were not in pursuit. That’s why they were shown on video a full 15 seconds behind the suspect vehicle. Think about that for a second. If there was a pursuit, how can a car get a 15 second gap on the police car in only a few blocks. Count out 15 seconds and think about that. You know why there was a 15 second gap? Because there was no pursuit. Sorry Brian, you’re wrong again. To try and push your anti-YPD narrative using the incredibly tragic death of four teenagers is low even by your standards. Shame on you.12

When I pulled him over he fled so fast I was amazed and horrified at the same time. We gave up on the pursuit almost immediately for fear he would kill someone. We tracked him down later and arrested him for Reckless Endangerment. Not too long after that, he was a subject of an investigation we did with the FBI targeting violent gang members. We arrested him on federal drug conspiracy charges and he was sentenced to 5 years in federal prison.There is one person to blame here and that is Devon Haywood.15

  • Brian Harrodbadge iconLorraine Lopez, I don’t know how anyone in their right mind could object to a fair, open and transparent #YPD internal investigation into the police involved deadly crash took away these teenagers lives.But Lorraine Lopez, there seems to be a small vocal group to try and suppress the truth by posting over and over in Yonkers Newswire threads – and even going so far as to use #Fake Facebook accounts to manipulate the situation.Lorraine Lopez the #YonkersPD has a job to do, but covering up and misinformation about what actually happened is what the public deserves.Lorraine Lopez you know full well #Yonkers residents remember the last serious minor accident where the Yonkers Police Department did not follow protocol and a mother and her two children were killed then.Lorraine Lopez, the family was destroyed over the Yonkers Police Department recklessly chasing teenage kids for stealing parking netter quartersLorraine Lopez, the #YonkersPolice owe the community and these families a fair, open and transparent investigation and we need to make sure others families are not destroyed in high speed pursuits over minor violations.1

  • Brian Harrodbadge iconLorraine Lopez there is plenty of fault to go around.Lorraine Lopez, there are #YPD rules of pursuit and whether they were followed here or not should be investigated in a fair open and transparent manner.Lorraine Lopez, everyone agrees that reckless driver in the Infiniti and committed negligent homicide.But Lorraine Lopez if there are witnesses and video that show reckless pursuit by the police as well wouldn’t you want that investigated in a fair open and transparent manner, if it were your family?Instead of having people like Lauren Jamison Huber spamming discussion threads over and over and over with “don;t investigate the Yonkers Police Department?”1

    • Brian Harrodbadge iconKeith Olson, I have multiple people telling me there was a pursuit, but if it turns out they were all wrong the I will make a public correction and apologize for the error.Keith Olson, the Yonkers Police Department could easily clear up the matter by releasing an unedited copy of the gas station surveillance video that showed the crash.Keith Olson, people say the #YonkersPD cruiser was less than 15 seconds behind the speeding infiniti and immediately arrived on the crash scene.Keith Olson, the #YPD says the terminated the pursuit and there was no chase.So Keith Olson, why not release the unedited version of the crash scene video so that it shows when and how fast the #YonkersPolice cruiser arrived at the crash scene.

    • Keith OlsonBrian Harrod the YPD could release 100 videos showing the same thing, that the cops didn’t have their lights on and that they were 15 seconds behind the murderer (which is likely 2 blocks away) and you’d write that the cops were wrong anyway. You don’t like the police Brian, we get it. Just stop pretending to be a journalist and admit that when you’re a blogger the truth doesn’t matter.1

    • Brian Harrodbadge iconKeith Olson you did not answer the question and deflecting with “the YPD could release 100 videos” is BS, because you know the key video is the one the one that shows the catastrophic crash, as well as, when and how exactly the #YonkersPD police cruiser arrived?Keith Olson, you know the gas station can only afford to back up all of those 24 hour surveillance cameras for a certain amount of time, before its recorded over.Keith Olson, why not release this critical video to the media so that dozens of copies are saved, instead of the #YonkersPolice telling the gas station owner not to release the video to the media, community activists and the media?Keith Olson, God forbid that a Yonkers Police Department employee accidentally deletes the only copy of the video showing when and how the #YPD cruiser involved in the pursuit arrived at the deadly crash scene.Keith Olson, its better to share this critical video, than end up with static, as these teenagers families cry out with an…. “OH NO!!!!!”

  • Brian Harrodbadge iconJohn Contrino, a lot depends on how cautious the Yonkers Police Department officer is at intersections as he pursues the car with “equipment violations” before the deadly crash that took way the four #Yonkers kids lives.John Contrino, the #YonkersPD officer doesn’t want to be T-Boned and end up dead like these teenagers.John Contrino, this is why its important that the #YonkersPD releases the #YPD radio recording, before during and after the deadly crash, to see if in fact the #YonkersPolice did in fact terminate the pursuit.

    • Brian Harrodbadge iconJohn Contrino, reading is fundamental.John Contrino, you can’t show one post or comment in any thread in the Yonkers Newswire that says that he driver of the Infiniti is somehow not responsible.John Contrino, the problem is the Yonkers Police Department took a day to admit that there had been a #YonkersPD pursuit of the Infiniti over and alleged and unnamed “equipment violation”.John Contrino, the #YPD publicity machine initially tried to make it appear that they did not know who this potentially dangerous mystery driver from #MountVernon was, but it later came out that the #YonkersPolice had over decade long history with the suspect.And John Contrino, the suspect is reported to have ran from Yonkers PBA President Keith Olson in the past.But for some reason John Contrino you and others are seeking to obstruct or block a fair, open and transparent investigation of this police involve deadly crash that slaughtered four innocent #Yonkers teens.John Contrino, what’s wrong with having a fair, open and transparent Yonkers Police Department investigation of this police involve deadly crash – that allows residents in the city of hills to see all of the videos and hear all of the related police radio transmissions, as well as the officers name and history in the department.John Contrino, if the Yonkers Police Department truly cares about these kids being slaughtered on Riverdale Avenue, they will conduct fair, open and transparent investigation of this police involve deadly crash and not hold anything back.John Contrino, why are you afraid to let the chips fall where they may and seeking to force these four grieving families to go through great legal expense to get the truth from a judge?John Contrino, if that was your child dead in the street you would not be posting this crap trying to make points with those in The City of Yonkers, who want this to be covered up and forgotten in a week or so.

  • Brian Harrodbadge iconRu Ros, no one is arguing that the Infinity was not speeding and out running the police. That is not the issue.Ru Ros, the 32 second video you are sharing is the same manipulated and looped #YPD video that shows the guy keeping getting into his SUV over and over.Ru Ros, was is needed is the raw unedited video that shows when and how the #YonkersPD arrived on the scene, instead of cutting the video just before the police cruder flys into the scene.Ru Ros I am told that the Yonkers Police Department showed up at the crash scene seconds after the car, these kids were in, was spit in half.Ru Ros, for the #YonkersPolice to substitute a cherry picked video far from the crash scene where the pursuing police vehicle is trailing, because the officer slows down in intersection in an effort not to be T-Boned is an inadequate substitute.Ru Ros, witnesses say the Yonkers Police Department officer arrived with in seconds as the police did not even acknowledge a pursuit a day later.Ru Ros, why is the Yonkers Police Department refusing to show the #yonkers residents the part of the gas station video that actually shows when and how the officer actually showed up at the crash scene?
