Metropolitan Transportation Authority police said that Hendrick, who was off duty, was riding a Ronkonkoma-bound train about 9:20 p.m. and spotted "a group of unruly passengers following a Ranger game."Kind of ironic that he's one of the "Only Ones" Carolyn McCarthy wants armed on the LIRR. Of course, we've already established she's none too bright.
"He took out his concealed Smith & Wesson handgun and pointed it at the individuals"... [More]
Seeing as who was holding the gun, the hockey fans are just lucky they didn't "lift a finger."
Too bad for Hendrick he didn't wait to do this, at least until we can make sure violent cops get sentencing exemptions. Hopefully, for his sake, the department will find he acted within established protocol...
