there is justice sometimes

Lt. Michael W. Pigott, of the New York City Police Department, was found yesterday in a police locker room dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

You may not recognize his name, but you know him by his deed.

Pigott is the policeman who ordered his officers to taser a naked, deranged man they had cornered on a second-story ledge in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. The man, who had harmed nobody and threatened only himself, fell headfirst to the sidewalk upon being tasered and died immediately at the scene, as his understandably distraught mother looked on.


Pigott put the "pig" in policeman. Good fucking riddance.
