Saturday night, Mac’s Public House Manager and co-owner Dan Presti was surrounded by New York City Sheriff’s Deputies for some reason. Presti got into his vehicle and took off for only reasons he knows. In his get away he injures a Deputy who suffered some injuries.
Presti’s attorney said at a press conference that he was approached by two deputies in plain clothes that failed to identify themselves. But, in the videotape you see two people in dark clothing approach the vehicle, patches similar to the NYPD, NYSO, NYCDOC, NYC Marshals ans NYC Hospital Police are on one person’s jacket.
Daniel Presti made a bade situation 1000 times worse. If anyone in uniform or in plain clothes displaying a shield (badge), stop. Especially if they are in the wrong. We do not tolerate violence toward law enforcement, period. Presti could have came out smelling like roses.
With that being said I (Scoop) will no longer support Mac’s Public House. Walter may still support it, It’s his decision, not mine. Believe me, it’s not an easy decision. I support what Mac’s Public House is doing and has done. But I’m not going to jump all over some skel who injures a member of law enforcement and not do the same when someone that has the same beliefs does the same thing. Trust me, I want to support Mac’s and Presti, and think the NYCSO is way out of line. But right is right.
I remember the water on the NYPD and the return of “air mail.” We have a very special anniversary coming up and I’m not going to put that all aside because I agree with someone.
