Two off-duty drunk NYPD police officers were arrested on Wednesday for firing their guns at members of the public, including one who emptied 13 rounds from his handgun - hitting a man in a nearby car six times.

Officer Brendan Cronin, 27, who is assigned to the 46th precinct in the Bronx, was driving in Pelham, Westchester late on Tuesday night when he fired at a total stranger, who was sitting in the passenger side of a car at traffic lights.

Cronin had drunk so much beforehand that he told officers afterwards that he 'doesn't remember what happened', according to a police source.

Then, three hours later, outside outside a Somerset County strip club in New Jersey, NYPD Sgt. Wanda Anthony shot at least one round at a former boyfriend and his new girlfriend.

Luckily no one was struck and Anthony fled the scene in a car, but was pulled over and charged with drunk driving after the incident.

Umm...what about also being charged with shooting at her former boyfriend and his new girlfriend? In Texas, that would be deadly conduct and easy to prove, assuming the story is correct. I would think they would have something analogous in New York??

Maybe NY would be safer if they gave the firearms back to the citizens and took them away from the cops.

Holy crap. Wow, just wow. How are they not charged with a whole host of charges. I mean a stack of them.
