Officer Aaron Hess, a Westchester County cop who fatally shot Pace University football player, DanRoy Henry, has been named Officer of the Year by The Pleasantville Policeman Benevolent Association.
Ain’t this a bitch? So basically this cops benevolent association saw fit to honor this man/cop for killing a young black college athlete. They’re sending a message basically saying: This young black life didn’t mean shit to us, so to hell with him, his parents, his love ones and friends. To hell with their feelings!!!! We are the law and it’s okay when we kill them.
The award was given to Hess on Friday night, which only angered Danroy Henry’s parents who buried their son, on his 21st birthday.
“This honor is a slap in the face.” “It speaks to the arrogance that we have experienced since Oct. 17, 2010,” the player’s mother, Angela Henry said. Her son was killed in a hail of gunfire and “It just shows their inhumanity and their arrogance” she concluded.
Hess and another Pleasantville officer fired at Henry’s car after they claimed he ignored their orders to stop and tried to run them down in the parking lot of a Thornwood bar.
The Pleasantville Policeman Benevolent Association, chose to honor Hess for how he has handled the shooting and its aftermath.
A grand jury declined to indict him and the other officer in February.
