The first lesbian cop in a New Jersey town says that efforts to fire her are personal, not business.

Officer Regina Tasca faces a departmental hearing this week in Bogota, N.J., where authorities claim she displayed “bizarre and outlandish” duty during two on-the-job incidents last year.

But Tasca’s attorney says the 13 charges against her client are part of a pattern of prejudice against her across 11 years on the job, the Bergen Record reported.

Both of the incidents cited by the officer’s police supervisors were captured on videotape:

— An attack on a fellow cop by a drunken woman where Tasca allegedly failed to assist him.

— A fight involving a suspect and two Ridgefield Park police officers sent to provide back-up for Tasco, who pulled one of the cops off the emotionally disturbed man.

“This was excessive force,” Tasca’s lawyer, Catherine Elston, told WPIX-11 News. “This was an unlawful tackle, this was punching an emotionally disturbed person whose arms were pinned under his chest.”

Borough attorney Raymond Wiss said Tosca’s failure to assist the officer attacked by the drunk at Holy Name Medical Center was “a clear dereliction of duty.”

Tosca was suspended without pay from the department last May after she was deemed unfit for duty following a psychological exam.

Elston, a former police officer, said the department was unfairly targeting Tosca.

“They’re not just terminating her,” the lawyer told WPIX. “They’re destroying her personality.”

no she was fired because she stopped her backup from beating the guy up.

Who more likely than not called her a dyke and made up a bullshit report to get her fired.

What the fuck, people need to be screened for prejudice when hired for jobs like this where bigotry and prejudice are detrimental to your duties and the safety of citizens

Neither being gay nor a being a woman is helping her with these assholes but I find it distressingly plausible to think that a straight dude could get in some trouble for stopping a fellow cop from beating a "suspect."
