NYPD cop sentenced in racist tirade resigns amid outcry

A New York police officer who was sentenced last month in Tennessee for a racist tirade and break-in at the home of an African American family has resigned from the force, the department said Thursday. Calls for the firing of NYPD officer Michael Reynolds, who is white, have grown since he was sentenced December 6 in the rampage at the Nashville home in 2018,

The NYPD cop went to Tennessee for a bachelor party, got rip-roaring drunk, broke into a family’s house and yelled racial slurs and threats.

He was fired by NYPD because of an online petition of 12000 names and the fact that the incident was recorded on a neighbor’s surveillance video.

She said Reynolds, who was visiting Nashville and staying nearby with a group for a bachelor party, called her and her family “f–king n—ers” and threatened to “break every f—ing bone in your f—ing neck.” The paper reports he charged at Halliburton and only left the home when she told him police were on the way.
