Here’s one story the liberal media will bury faster than Hunter’s laptop. Two NYPD officers—yes, sworn members of law enforcement—were caught red-handed fleeing a deadly crash they helped cause… and then lied about it. The driver? Left to burn alive inside a stolen SUV while these two cowards clocked out like nothing happened.
It all went down in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Two Bronx cops spotted a 2025 Honda CRV suspected to be part of a stolen car ring. Fair enough. They gave chase, pursuing the vehicle southbound into Manhattan’s Inwood neighborhood, emergency lights on for at least part of the way. So far, standard police work.
But then it all goes off the rails.
The driver, a man who has yet to be identified because his body was burned beyond recognition, crashed near the Dyckman Street exit on the Henry Hudson Parkway. The car slammed into a building and burst into flames.
And what did these officers—public servants sworn to protect and serve—do next?
They drove off.
Not only did they flee the scene, they didn’t bother to call for help, didn’t alert EMS, didn’t notify dispatch, didn’t file a report. They just rolled back to their precinct, clocked out, and vanished into the night like it was just another Wednesday.
And here’s the kicker: the NYPD only found out what happened after a passerby filmed the burning wreckage and posted it online. The video, captured in raw horror, shows the flaming remains of the SUV and a bystander shouting, “Oh my f–king God! Yo, who’s that?”
No kidding.
The department’s Force Investigation Division and the New York Attorney General’s Office are now involved. Both officers have been suspended, but what they really deserve is prosecution—and a fast-track out of the NYPD, pension revoked.
Let’s be clear here: This isn’t about defending a suspect in a stolen vehicle. This is about basic human decency and accountability. You don’t get to wear the badge, chase a guy down, watch his vehicle explode in front of you, and then ghost the scene like you just spilled coffee on your desk. That’s not law enforcement. That’s criminal negligence.
And while the NYPD recently updated its pursuit policy—prohibiting chases for minor crimes unless the suspect poses an imminent threat—this wasn’t a garden-variety traffic stop. This was a potential stolen vehicle ring. And even if the chase itself is in question, leaving a human being to die and lying about it afterward is indefensible under any policy.
Let’s also ask the hard question the media won’t: Would this story have been different if the roles were reversed? If a civilian fled the scene of a fiery crash that killed a cop? You’d better believe there’d be a SWAT team knocking down doors.
And where’s the outrage from New York’s leadership? Where’s Eric Adams? Where’s Letitia James? Where are the Democrats who scream about police reform until it’s one of their own in the hot seat?
Crickets.
At the end of the day, this story exposes what happens when political correctness, weak leadership, and woke policing collide. The NYPD used to be the gold standard. Now? Two of its own just walked away from a burning car like they were late for lunch—and that should terrify everyone.
