Todd Jamison retired from the NYPD last year and moved out of the home he shared with his NYPD Officer wife, Alison Jamison recently - and in with his mother. His wife was mad, they say, because he was having an affair, has affairs, yada yada - and because she says she was abused.
So she shot him up.
Tried as hard as she could to kill him and scare him at the same time.
Alison's attorney says: "Her husband began a series of humiliating, degrading and debilitating acts, including acts of physical terrorism, that left her emotionally and psychologically sick..."
But Alison, we don't rent a car, stalk; hunt our man down, cross into oncoming traffic, block him in with our car, shoot him up on one side, make a u-turn, and come back to shoot him up some MORE. Seems you've canceled out your own victim-song somewhere there between bullets two and eight.
You know. You're a cop. No excuse. Being female isn't pulling my sympathy string sister.
You knew every alternative.
But this isn't really about Alison. It's really about the NYPD, because a woman has stepped forward to say that Officer Allison Jamison tried to run her down amid another relationship rage too - and that it was never dealt with criminally within the department:
"...Suhey said that after she reported the incident to the NYPD, her fiancé, whom she broke up with, was transferred from the 120th Precinct in Staten Island to Manhattan while Spicer-Jamison, 42, was banished to Brooklyn's 70th Precinct..."
Gotta deal with it now though, right NYPD?
Seems when you realize you have a potential killer on the force - anyone that OUT OF CONTROL - that it should be HANDLED, not minimized and swept away. You let officers like that arrest citizens? You leave yourself open to the fallout - like now - from such uncontrolled armed anger?
Don't bother with trying to redeem your image. Change your policies instead. Make domestic crimes involving officers crimes rather than in-house complications. Then follow through. You AND your prosecutors. Do what you represent that you do. Uphold the laws.
I believe the best love for your law enforcement comrades is tough love. If Allison was held accountable the first time, maybe she wouldn't be sitting in a psychiatric hospital now, being held on attempted murder, assault in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.
Todd? He's in a medically induced coma at Brookdale Hospital with several bullets still inside of his body. The papers are having a blast pointing out his philandering - but I could care less. (Would they do that to a bullet-riddled female I wonder?) All those bullets, made me not care what Todd did first. Maybe you MEN need to pay attention - take notes - don't assume, but as far as my interest in how officer involved dv is handled, if Alison was a man nobody would listen to "she hurt me first" in a shooting rampage like this. So I'm not listening now.
Equal rights. Equal disgust.
It was just wrong.
We can't live like that.
I know what it's like. Todd sounds exactly my own ex. At one point of infidelities it was me who made sure the guns were out of the house before he got home- for his safety and my future. I managed myself and sabotaged my access to weapons - and the expectation has to be that we all do. Had I seen I couldn't stop myself I would have found another method of intervention.
If we are defending ourselves, sometimes yes. When we are chasing them down or setting them up. No.

'NYPD'S FAULT MY COP WIFE SHOT ME'
ReplyDeleteOFFICER ROMEO'S $3M SUIT
New York Post, NY - 21 hours ago

The "Casanova" cop who was allegedly shot by his wife, a fellow officer, as payback for his wandering eye is suing the NYPD for $3 million, claiming they should have known she was too nuts to carry a gun.
The lawsuit claims the NYPD knew Alison Spicer-Jamison, 42, "required continuous counseling and supervision in order to tame "her violent propensities towards others."
She was "violent, unstable, and too dangerous to continue to possess an NYPD issued firearm," Todd Jamison's lawsuit, filed this week in Brooklyn federal court, claims.
Alison is charged with shooting Todd, 44, in a jealous rage last April 10 when she learned he'd strayed from their marital bed less than a year after they married.
The vengeful woman tailed her philandering husband's car through East New York, then pulled her rental alongside his Mercedes and fired her police-issue firearm, cops say. He was hit three times in the chest and once in the arm.
Spicer-Jamison, who had been a cop since 1994, was arrested a few hours later at a Newark Airport car rental and charged with attempted murder.
The scorned woman had a bad history - and the NYPD knew that, said Todd Jamison's attorney, Michael Mays.
"There were allegations that she had violence against men. She may have tried to hit someone in a car," Mays said, but declined to elaborate.
The Post reported last year that Spicer-Jamison was suspected of nearly mowing down a romantic rival using her squad car in 1998.
At the time, she was having an affair with the victim's fiancé, who was also her patrol partner. The victim said she reported the incident to the NYPD, and as a result, Spicer-Jamison was moved from Staten Island to the 70th Precinct in Brooklyn.
A police official said last year that there had been an Internal Affairs investigation into the Incident, but said there was no allegation that Spicer-Jamison had tried to run anyone down.
Todd Jamison's suit also names the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, the City of New York, the NYPD, and his wife, who's currently incarcerated at Rikers Island, awaiting a trial date.
Jamison, who had retired from the force in 2005, was working as a basketball coach at the time of the incident.
He lost use of one of his arms due to the attack and has not been able to return to work, said Mays. "He's coping. He's like any victim, trying to bounce back," he said.
Spokesman for the NYPD and the PBA both said they knew nothing of the lawsuit.
The Jamisons had been married for less than a year when Todd began having an affair with an Onondaga County deputy sherriff. But his third wife couldn't claim she didn't know what she was getting into - she stole him away from his second wife, Nina.
