Suffolk cop docked pay for criticizing commissioner
September 1, 2009 By REID J. EPSTEIN,
A Suffolk police officer and Iraq War veteran who criticized Commissioner Richard Dormer at a public meeting has been docked five days pay for his comments.
Officer Mike Simonelli, 37, who said he is set to deploy to Afghanistan with his Army Reserve unit, compared Dormer – during testimony before the Legislature’s Public Safety Committee – to a turncoat military commander who had defected to the Iraqi side.
