BREAKING NEWS: DRUNK NYPD chief of police guilty of hit-and-run against pregnant woman

January 8, 2010

Howard Safir, a New York City police commissioner during the Giuliani administration, backed his sport utility vehicle into a pregnant woman on the Upper East Side on Friday afternoon and then drove away, the police said.

The woman, Joanne M. Valarezo, 30, of the Bronx, was not knocked down and was not seriously injured in the accident, which occurred at 2:25 p.m. in front of 1418 Third Avenue, the authorities said. They said she was able to jot down the license plate of Mr. Safir’s black 2009 Cadillac Escalade.

Ms. Valarezo was taken by ambulance to New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, where she was treated for a bruised shoulder and then released, the police said. Ms. Valarezo’s unborn child, nearing its seventh month, was apparently not affected, she later said.

Detectives from the 19th Precinct tracked Mr. Safir down, questioned him and “determined there is no criminality,” said a law enforcement official. The detectives determined that Mr. Safir was unaware that he had struck the woman before driving away, another law enforcement official said.

But the woman’s account raised questions about that.

The police said that Mr. Safir’s Escalade was double-parked, and hemmed in by two vehicles, and that the accident occurred as he was maneuvering out of that spot. It was not immediately clear how long it took detectives to reach Mr. Safir, who did not immediately return calls for comment left at his home in Annapolis, Md., and at an apartment he keeps in New York.

Mr. Safir, 67, was traveling with his wife when the accident occurred, the police said.

Ms. Valarezo said in a telephone interview on Friday night that she was on a break from her job at a doctor’s office and had gone to buy socks for her unborn child when she was hit.

“I was crossing the street in between cars and he hit reverse, and his female passenger screamed, ‘Are you not looking, there’s someone there,’ and as he was reversing, he hit me on my shoulder and my knee and the side of my stomach,” she said.

Then he started to drive away, she said.

“I confronted him and I said, ‘I’m pregnant. Did you not see?’ And he just disregarded that and kept going,” she said. She said if the passenger had not screamed, causing her to turn, she would been hurt more seriously.

Ms. Valarezo said her unborn baby, a boy, “is fine now, thank God. Everything looks good with my child.”

Ms. Valarezo said she did not recognize the driver.

Told he was a former police commissioner, she said: “Are you serious? Oh, my God, I did not know that. Wow. O.K., that would explain why all these detectives came to see me. I had detectives come see me in the hospital, and nobody told me who he was.”

She added: “I’m shaking now. So he has been caught?”

Told he was found but not charged, Ms. Valarezo said, “Really.”

Then she laughed.

She asked for his name, and when given it, said, “You would think that a man who abides by the law should follow it.”

Mr. Safir’s conduct when he was commissioner and his wife was in a minor car accident, in 1999, prompted questions. He sent two detectives to the home of a woman involved in the crash, who had provided a false name before leaving the scene.

In a later interview, Mr. Safir defended that response.

“When we found out that this woman lied, I wanted to find out who she was, to see if she was a threat to me or my family,” he said.

On Friday evening, Al McNeill, an aide at SafirRosetti, the security firm Mr. Safir now works at, said that he was unaware of the crash and that Mr. Safir was out of state.

Mr. Safir and Joseph R. Rosetti, a former director of security for IBM, founded the firm in 2001.

Mr. Safir’s tenure as police commissioner was occasionally controversial.

He was tapped in 1996 by Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani for the position after spending two years leading the Fire Department. The crime rate dropped during his tenure, and in 1998 killings dropped to their lowest level since 1962. Mr. Safir bristled at critics who contended that he was simply coasting on the innovations of his predecessor, William J. Bratton.

Once a heralded federal marshal, Mr. Safir cut a grim-faced figure behind Mr. Giuliani, reluctant to engage with the press. Yet that did not help him avoid scrutiny.

Two cases — the torture of Abner Louima, a Haitian immigrant, in a police station bathroom and the death of Amadou Diallo amid a spray of 41 police bullets — brought to the fore concerns about police brutality and the force’s relationship with the city’s black and Hispanic residents.

Mr. Safir, who resigned in August 2000 to work for a private security firm, drew criticism earlier that year. The city’s Conflicts of Interest Board rebuked him for accepting a trip to the Academy Awards in Los Angeles as a guest of the president of Revlon, which hired off-duty officers as part of a city program.

Evil flourishes when good folks do nothing.

Doesn't rewriting history by the victors concern you? Especially when the 9/11 terrorists are writing the US history books. Most Amerikans don't even know what year 9/11 was, or who was accused of the attacks.

Sir Rudy Giuliani Knight of the British Empire was in London during the 7/7 Bombings, since his company ran the contract for "bombing drills" at the same train stations at the exact same time. Just like Rudy was running a CIA "terrorism drill" of hijacked airliners crashing into WTC and Pentagon on 9/11/2001. More of Rudy's dope-dealin buddies go to jail.

Thing is, this wasn't a simple "misspeak" by Giuliani. Or if it was, it's contagious. I heard Dana Pirino say it during an appearance on Hannity's show a week or so ago, too.

And Hannity didn't even blink, much less call her on it. "There were no terrorist attacks during the Bush presidency" was her claim. And Hannity could have at least said, "Well, y'know, except for that one day..." or some such. Or brought up the Shoe Bomber (hey, if Cap'n Underpants is a terrorist, the Shoe Bomber must be as well, right?) or the anthrax attacks, right?

This is the Republicans' latest talking point, the idea that there was never any terrorist attack under Dubya. None. Nada. Never happened.

So tell me again what we're fighting, and why?

Version of the quote I saw said something about there were no " domestic" terror attacks. Not sure what The Rudy uses for a definition-- not happening in America, didn't involve American citizens, didn't start in America, can't see how any definition you'd use would be true, except maybe, "didn't happen while a Democrat was President."

Only definition that matters is "wasn't really successful." Which also applies to Bush, about the Shoe Bomber.

That's what hit me. They're rewriting the history books, literally. School textbooks already skip 9/11, and everything else that's a false flag.

We've always been at war with East Asia.

Same Israeli security company let both bombers on the airliners. Not enough PETN to drop a plane. Mossod psyops.

Why we're in Iraq and Afghanistan....

...So the American PTB can work toward securing oil/gas resources away from the other superpowers (Russia, China). Hmm, now what country is between Iraq and Afgha, and has oil? (Why do you think our Gov't has been messing with Iran for 50-ish years?)

...To keep unemployment levels down. If hundreds of thousands of people are busy, injured, or killed during a "war", that's less people to collect a check every month. Also, less people complaining that their job got shipped overseas.

...To add to the distractions so the PTB can loot the treasury (didn't the US have a Trillion dollar surplus in 2000? Mmm, yummy money!), fux with stocks (I know next to nothing about that stuff, but I do know nothing vanishes without a trace) and deregulate for max. profits (tax cuts for billionaires, etc.).

Well, PN, if they're not rewriting the history books LITERALLY quite yet, they're certainly trying to rewrite them and leave out uncomfortable facts leading into the mid-term elections. They're REALLY into turd-polishing in trying to convince us that "Bush Kept Us Safe!", and that's what they're trying to run on. And they honestly expect Americans to NOT remember 9/11 or anthrax.

Now, if they could only get someone on American Idle [sic] to keep saying it, all Americans would finally believe it...

I don't see them having any luck re-writing history books on this issue...9/11 is too big and too firmly ensconced in America's minds. Obviously they're trying, and getting called on it (tho' I'm not sure the MSM as picked it up, or maybe feels it's even worth talking about). It's an assinine tactic, as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, they'll keep trying, but I don't think it will be successful. I wish someone would call Guiliani on it to his face, dammit, and the others too.

Jeez, who expected anyone on Faux News to call him on it? Remember the fake video showing huge crowds at their DC rally? They have no problem with him lying, and no doubt will push the revised history themselves. And sadly, some of their more ignorant audience WILL buy it! Shees!

Niki, you give conservatives far too much credit. These are people who ALREADY are firmly convinced that 9/11 was 100% Clinton's fault, and Bush had absolutely nothing to do with anything related to it. It's not a stretch to imagine that they could be convinced that it not only wasn't Bush's responsibility, but that it didn't even happen on his watch. He was, after all, on vacation at the time, right? ;)

Now, if you question them and really get them thinking about it, they'll admit that Bush WAS the prez when it went down - but subjectively, in their minds and hearts, Bush kept us safe, and they'd love to believe - and will firmly convince themselves - that we were never attacked while Bush was in office.

How many times has well know conservatives come out saying the 911 hijackers traveled through Canada...

Which they did not.

Either they don't know what they are talking about, they are stupid, or they think if you repeat something enough times people will believe you.

My money is on three

and that is how they change history to suit whatever crap they have planned...
