Hear say that it was an ESU LT that took his own life. He was the Lt that used or gave the order to tazer the EDP at the beginig of the week. RIP

Saw a few interviews this evening with Iman Morales' family and they were very upset about LT. Pigott's death, very sad ending to this story.

F'ing shame.

This poor Lt. was faced with an unpredictable EDP and did what his training, experience and gut told him to do. I am sure the second the taser was "fired" he was concerned with his choice but he had a job to do and he did it. Sadly, the end result wasn't just the death of this EDP, it was the suicide death of this Lieutenant.

Very sad news, thoughts with everyone.

REST IN PEACE

LT. PIGOTT, NYPD ESU

Thank you for your service to the

City of New York

Rest in Peace LT.

Once again the job has turned its back on one of its own. The higher ups (read chiefs/ commissioner/mayor) could care less about you, but your men certainly did. Your first concern was the officers under your command, which is the sign of any good boss, which unfortunately is becoming harder and harder to find. Hopefully something positive will come out of this tragic loss, and the job's doctors will never tell someone in this horrible sitution to "go home and rest" while they try your case in the media. I hope your family gets through this tragic time.

Remember,"The JOB is on the level"
