You wanna support your local police and firefighters but when THIS happens....

Follow along on the saga of Brooklyn firefighter Pat Quagliariello and see if you can tell where the stench on this story stops.

Manuel Tzajguachiac was hit and killed by a heartless gutless driver who fled the scene at 65th Street and 20th Avenue in Bensonhurst like a coward.

Four hours after the accident, the firefighter, Quagliariello went to the 62nd Precinct station house and told the police that he was the owner of the vehicle and that he was represented by a lawyer. (Note he did not say he was driving)

He then clammed up. (This is where he could have told police who was driving, he refused which is most troubling).

NYPD released the firefighter, whose brother is a detective on the police force.

They did not give Quagliariello a breathalyzer. (Now remember here a man is DEAD and the favors are already being doled out).

When asked why Quagliariello was not given a breath test NYPD top cop Ray Kelly said because he was not arrested (Wow, that's some reasoning Ray. We were waiting for why he wasn't arrested and the answer most likely would have been "because he wasn't given a breath test". Specious reasoning Ray should be his new name).

Quagliariello’s certification as an emergency services technician was suspended for one year in 2005 for fraud and deceit in procuring the certification.

See where this is headed? Under a heaping pile of paperwork, legal motions and non-admissable evidence to protect a firefighter by the police.

And we want to believe in these guys.
