According to CBS New York, "A veteran Nassau County Police officer is under arrest, accused of exposing himself to women in a Long Island park." Nassau County police officer Richard Furboter was arrested and charged with two misdemeanor counts of public lewdness and two counts of exposure. He quickly retired after his arrest so he could receive his large state pension. The taxpayers will be paying Richard Furboter a salary in addition to his social security for the rest of his life. 

Nassau County Police Department Commissioner of Police Patrick Ryder said he was going to melt Richard Furboter's badge and throw it in the garbage. Surprisingly Commissioner Ryder didn't mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars we are going to be paying Richard Furboter over the next several years via his pension as a reward for exposing himself to multiple women and getting arrested when he was a police officer. 

There was also mention that Richard Furboter's severance was being held back. The total was about $150,000. I think that we deserve to know what happened to the severance pay? Also, did Richard Furboter have to serve time? Is Richard Furboter a registered sex offender? In the future, if a police officer is arrested and convicted while on the job she or he should immediately lose their pension. That should be a nationwide policy. 

I called Commissioner Patrick Ryder and couldn't get through to him. If Furboter served time, lost his severance, and Patrick Ryder protests Richard's pension I will update this change.org petition. If Furboter received his severance, served no jail time, and isn't a registered sex offender I would say Patrick Ryder let him off too easy and Patrick should be fired without a pension. 

I'm a civilian, I'm not an attorney. Is there any way of finding any of this out? I'll contact the Nassau County Executive, the Nassau County District Attorney, and Nassau County Police headquarters. I'm easy to get ahold of my information is all over the internet if anyone has the answers.
