Helicopters For Joseph Daigneault’s Funeral


Today, Brooklynites gathered to say goodbye to Detective Joseph Daigneault, a retired NYPD Aviation Detective, who lost his life to 9/11-related cancer. Since he was in the Aviation Unit, they had a flyover for his funeral.

Joe proudly served the NYPD for 27 years, beginning his career patrolling the streets of Brooklyn South. On September 11, 2001, he rushed to Manhattan to help and continued working tirelessly at Ground Zero in the weeks that followed. His dedication to serving others never wavered.

The wake was held at Scarpaci Funeral Home on 86th Street and 14th Avenue, followed by a funeral at St. Mary Mother of Jesus Church on 84th Street and 23rd Avenue.

A neighbor shared that Joe was a great guy, husband, father, brother, son and an incredible friend and neighborhood guy!

Prayers for his wife, Suzanne, and their three sons. May Detective Daigneault rest in peace, and may his service and sacrifice never be forgotten.

Carjackers Steal Minivan on 11th Avenue and Bay Ridge Parkway, Crashed & Are Arrested

Adam at Loudlabs wrote: “At 12:48 am near 11th Avenue and Bay Ridge Parkway, police responded to a 911 call reporting shots fired.”

“Upon arrival, officers determined no shots had been fired. A 37-year-old male victim was approached by three male suspects, who punched and kicked him before stealing his Toyota minivan.

Channel 12 News shared: They thieves simulated having a gun, stole the man’s wallet and phone and then drove off in his vehicle. The chase ended when the vehicle crashed near the Gowanus Expressway and 84th Street.

Senator Steve Chan updated the community while Justin Brannan is in Puerto Rico and Andrew Gounardes doesn’t know he should provide an update. Chan wrote that the thieves knew the van owner. It was not a stranger abducting a stranger.

The stolen van was later found crashed through pedestrian bridge fencing, coming to rest on a grassy hill between the BQE and the service road near Exit 18.

Two suspects are in custody; the third remains at large. The investigation is ongoing.

The victim refused medical treatment. It is unknown if the carjacking victim was in the van with the suspects as it is currently under investigation according to the NYPD. However, the NYPD’s Level 1 mobilization was in regards to an “abduction.”

Senator Steve Chan shared:

Why is Kayla Santosuosso in Puerto Rico at Somos With the Lobbyists?

The newly elected Councilwoman, Kayla Santasuosso took a flight to Puerto Rico to attend Somos. Did you expect to see her outside the train station thanking you for voting for her? HA HA!

Kayla planned since August:

Since Kayla’s first action was to go to Somos – we are in trouble, Bay Ridge. Somos is a conference which lobbyists attend.

Brannan is out of office in January. Why did he attend Somos? The reporter noted that he was passing the torch. Why wouldn’t he do that in the Bay Ridge office where they both work?

If you thought Justin Brannan did a good job with the NYC Council budget, look at the numbers:

Stay tuned for more lobbyists projects in Bay Ridge.

Four Weeks Ago, Two High School Students Were Hurt on Narrows Ave. Andrew Gounardes Failed to Take Action and Change the Street

Four weeks ago today, two teenagers were seriously hurt by a driver on Narrows Avenue in Bay Ridge.

By now we should have seen:

a) A change to that street or law enforcement present so it doesn’t happen to another child walking home from school.

b) An update about teens and this street from Senator Gounardes.


Instead, Gounardes is busy tweeting regularly about Republicans. Almost every day he is jabbing at them.

We don’t need a man sitting on his phone tweeting. We need a person who will take immediate action for safety. We need a new senator – this one is horrible.
