AdvertisementBy Police Bureau ChiefJan 11, 2021 at 9:47 amAn NYPD cop has been accused of being among the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol, Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said Monday.The officer is being investigated by the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau but has not been charged.Advertisement“There is one investigation that is active on one member,” Shea told NY1. “There is no name yet released because we don’t know if it’s true or not. But I can tell you anyone committing crimes certainly would have a very short shelf life with the NYPD.”It wasn’t immediately clear what exactly the officer has been accused of doing on Wednesday or how the NYPD came to learn about his role.AdvertisementA police official said the NYPD is working with the FBI “to determine if allegations that one member of the department was involved can be substantiated.”Shea, who is working from home since was resting the day of the riot and didn’t realize what was happening until he got a call.WeekdaysCatch up on the day’s top five stories every weekday afternoon. &gt; “Like everyone else, I was disgusted by what I saw,” the commissioner said. “That’s our country on full display and hopefully we never see anything like that again.”The top cop also said the request from Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department to assist on the day of President-elect Biden’s inauguration came about two months ago.“I think it’s more important than ever to show solidarity with law enforcement, with the country as a whole,” he said. “What that building stands for, what our freedom stands for, is something that we should never take for granted and has to stand tall above all else.”Shea hopes to return to One Police Plaza, the NYPD’s headquarters in Lower Manhattan, soon but said he has been battling “bad flu, the chills, the aches.”“The breathing is the one you’ve got to be careful with,” he added.Cops were lining up at five department facilities Monday, the first day the vaccine was available to the NYPD.AdvertisementBy 7 a.m. about 400 cops had been given the vaccine and Shea expects cops hesitant about the injection will likely reverse course once their colleagues experience few side effects.
