NYPD David Grieco bursts into homes without warrants, runs amok terrorizing people of color

They were jolted awake as cops tore through their apartment, breaking two TVs, emptying containers of rice and pulling clothes out of closets, the family said.


One of the men — who the family later found out was Detective David Grieco — began barking questions at them.

“Where’s the guns?” he demanded, according to Luis Vargas. “Where’s the drugs?”

Ultimately, the cops — who did not have a search warrant — found nothing more than two bottles of sedatives for Lillian Vargas, who said she tried without luck to show police the paperwork from her doctor to prove the pills were legally prescribed.

But it made no difference to the officers, who handcuffed her and dragged her into the January cold dressed only in a robe.

Victims of ‘Bullethead’ cop recount shaky busts, traffic stops

There was a good reason the CCRB couldn’t find Felix’s encounter with Grieco — the cop never recorded it in his memo book, according to CCRB records obtained by the Daily News.

Felix’s complaint stalled — until he saw a picture in The News about Grieco, who was then under investigation by the Internal Affairs Bureau for an unrelated case. Although Felix accurately described Grieco and the other cops with him, the CCRB couldn’t substantiate the unjustified stop allegation.

are just as crooked. 96% won’t rat out a fellow “gang” member.
My ex, a cop, told me she was a member of the biggest gang in in the country. Mess with one of us and you mess with all of us.
