A Big Gulp, Indeed

Don't judge the officer too harshly:

NYPD cop arrested in motorcycle-SUV assault case.“An off-duty, undercover police detective was arrested as fallout from a burst of motorcyclist mayhem reached a new level, with investigators saying the off-duty officer was shown on video hitting and kicking an SUV before bikers attacked its driver.”

To be fair, the SUV driver was suspected of bringing in a 32-ounce Diet Coke from New Jersey. The officer thought the bikers were just trying to confiscate the drink.

Perhaps a refresher course that reminds the officer that going undercover means you pretend to join the thugs you are infiltrating.
