Rochester, NY Taxpayer Dollars at Work: When RPD officers Hang Out at Donut Shops, Taxpayers Foot the Gas Bill

was left running nearly an hour
while officers were inside Dunkin' Donuts

Some may have read my last piece, about Rochester, NY Police officers Tony Belliard and Garth Mitchell harassing a hard working, single mother over parking. (For those who may not have read my piece, I have included the link below).

Well, in part, it was that piece, which prompted me to document something she said, something I, and many of you have been aware of, when it comes to Rochester, NY Police officers leaving their cruisers running, wasting gas, gas that taxpayers pay for, while they frequent coffee shops, restaurants, and other hangouts.

Or as the woman who was harassed by RPD officers Tony Belliard and Garth Mitchell said,, "while they're inside sucking on coffee and slamming donuts down their throats..."

So, since Rochester Police officers enjoy bullying and harassing innocent hard working tax paying citizens, I decided to document some of their coffee sucking, donut slamming, while leaving their cruisers running antics.

Below I've posted a couple of videos.

The first is of Rochester Police cruiser E-42, left running outside Dunkin' Donuts located at 1691 East Ave. for nearly an hour Thursday morning, while several officers sucked and slammed inside.

If you notice in the video, not only was the cruiser left running, but the officer must have really been in a rush to slam that manager's special donut, because he also left his wipers running.

Another interesting thing is that the officers parked their cruisers in a parking lot adjacent to the Dunkin' Donuts shop.

A parking lot which actually belongs to Public Storage, a self storage business, NOT Dunkin' Donuts.

And I said "officers" because there was at least another RPD cruiser, E-107 also parked in the storage business parking lot.

But wait, it gets better.

As proof that Rochester, NY Police officers leaving their cruisers running is no fluke or random thing, but rather normal everyday practice, as you can see in the video below there was yet another Rochester Police cruiser E-76, left running in the McDonald's parking lot, which is next door to the storage business.

Now I know there will be some who will say cone on give them a break, they deserve to have a coffee and a donut, or two.

That's not my point with this piece.

My point is the following,

In a city which is ranked the 5th poorest city in the U.S., taxpayers should be disgusted that not only are their hard earned dollars paying for Rochester, NY Police officers to sit around sucking coffee and slamming donuts, but they should be disgusted that these same Rochester Police officers could care less about leaving their cruisers running, sometimes for hours at a time.

After all, why should they care?

They're not paying for the gas.

You are.
