Dashcam footage from Thomas Brocuglio’s company van caught Meriden Police Department Corporal Allen Ganter stopped at a red light in Rocky Hill in December, NBC Connecticut reported.
Brocuglio, 37, whose dog was riding shotgun with him, pulled up behind the off-duty officer, waiting for him to make a right turn on red.

“You can’t take a right on red here, you assh—e,” the 20-year veteran of the Meriden Police Department shouts.
Brocuglio points out that the sign says “Stop here on red” and not “No turn on red” before accusing Ganter of being on his phone and not paying attention to traffic.
Ganter is then seen reaching into Brocuglio’s car and punching him in the side of the face, video obtained by the outlet shows.
“You are going to get arrested for assaulting a civilian,” Brocuglio shouts at him as Ganter retreats to his truck.

He got 5 days suspension.... cops don't get the same "justice for all and equal treatment under the law" as the rest of us do
He wasn't worried about a thing when he was questioned by other police and gave his statement. The smug shithead knew he had nothing to worry about, he already knew the police union had his back.
When he punched the guy, he did so knowing cops can get away with nearly anything that doesn't get politicians involved. Even the murderer of George Floyd wasn't arrested until the media got ahold of the story and refused to let it go.
