From the Daily News:The rogue traffic agent whose run-in with a Queens councilman got him sent to sensitivity training is suing the pol, saying he mocked his Chinese heritage.
In a $6 million suit filed Monday in Queens Supreme Court, traffic agent Daniel Chu says Councilman Daniel Halloran vowed to get him booted from the NYPD when he tried to ticket his Jaguar on June 14, 2010.
"Go ahead and give me a f...... ticket," Chu says the Whitestone Republican told him, according to the suit. "I know the police commissioner and your boss. It will be the last ticket you ever issue. When you lose your job you can go back to your old job delivering Chinese food. What is that? $5 or $4 per hour?"
Nine days before, Chu says he was verbally attacked by Halloran aide Dennis Ring when he ticketed his gray Pontiac for blocking a pedestrian ramp.
"You are lucky to be in this country," Ring told Chu, the suit says. "You are lucky to be wearing a uniform. You should go f...... go back to China."
Ring later paid the $165 traffic fine, the suit adds.
Chu accuses Ring and Halloran of slander for damaging a reputation for honesty and integrity, which was recognized in several service awards from the NYPD.

in court it will be two to one, as to what was said.
if there is no witness or tape recording, chu will go bye bye on a choo choo .
I don't believe it. Chu is making me feel sorry for Halloran!!!
That's funny. He doesn't look Chuish!!!?!??!!?!
Knowing that area of Queens, that accusation will get that meathead re-elected.
Oh, and old man: "in court it will be two to one, as to what was said."
Gee I thought that a rightwinger like you always supported our men-in-blue....Guess not when they are the "wrong kind".
Maspeth Mom says...
I dont doubt it...with the stuff other politicians have done/said lately ...disgracefull behaviour by anyone... let alone a person in an elected position.
Except this happened months ago and no word of the alleged racism came out until a lawsuit was filed.
Chu is pulling the anti Oriental race card as usual when caught with his dong (LOL) in the ringer.
Asiatics are trained early in this particular knee jerk response.
I don't trust either of them to tell the truth.
Let the judge decide which one might be the better liar.
I dont doubt this. Halloran is a blatent liar. From the sanitation scandal where he said sanitation workers confided in him, to this.
Even though this guy chu might look like an ass, it's because everyone is willing to listen to a councilman even though he's a POS.
When all else fails, play the race card.

The Al Sharpton Special. Adopted by John Liu who then taught it to his people.
I'm getting on the Chu Chu train. All aboard!
Dan is too smart for that, while I'm sure a screaming match ensued I highly doubt it.
Mr. Ring,
If this is true, How UNDEMOCRATIC OF YOU.
The fact that Chu is suing for his bells palsy claiming it was brought on by the incident damages any credibility he might have.
Chu isn't like the anti-communist Chinese and Russian immigrants we grew up with. He grew up a fanatic communist and the labor leaders love people like him because they have revived the fear the old time union organizers used to inspire.
unless one was observing the two summons issuing incidents,by chu, one should not choose sides.
if chu's suit is frivolous,it will be dismissed.
the left wing commenters will always play the "race card". it is in their D.N.A.
do you agree that the al sharpton's tactics were adopted by Liu and widely publicized in the tri-state media, for the past eight years.
if asians were portrayed negatively, his silence was obvious .
if both chu and, halloran and ring have a negative rap sheet,and witnesses against them, the public will now know.
although the judges in Queens have been stacked by the 5 to 1 liberal /democrat voters .
the political bias may win the day for chu.
I have known Dan for many years, and I also know that the NYPD would not have brought charges or demoted someone on the word of an elected official, if this was so, then Pinky would still be in office, and not sending out anti Haggerty campaign mail for his son, Pinky junior, who is in a primary against Bart Haggerty.
As for the Traffic agent, he was sent to sensitivity training, and put on foot patrol, where he was again caught not being PC. He has been exposed by others, other than Dan Halloran for the type of activities that cause him to be removed from his position of "POWER", His major complaint is that he was fired, but he wasn't, he was put in the truck impound program, because he wouldn't have public contact, and would work regular shifts. He is suing because once he was off the street and not issuing summonses, he lost an average of almost $20,000 a year in overtime, and he lost the freedom to drive wily-nily around the streets, lights and sirens blazing for doughnut runs and shopping sprees on the taxpayer's dime. Mr. Chu's abuses may be race related , but also caused by arrogance, greed, and abuse of power, plus he doesn't seem to like the population in the district he is assigned to, he's a typical tinhorn public official, give him a badge and all the worlds owes him a payoff. Round eyes of Flushing beware, Mr. Chu will be on the streets again and return with a vengeance will he, especially after his lawsuit is tossed.
If you're a white, pagan male like O'Halloran, you have no racecard to pull out of your deck. Being pagan does not count as a racecard.
one might begin to think that cm. dan halloran has been demonized into sarah palin ,by the queens democrat machine.
would it not be interesting to find out that chu's lawyer is a big donor to the J.liu cm and comptroller , and dem. candidate kim's, campaigns ?
i recall that the majority of the 99.5% of kim's money came from lawyers who lived beyond the cm district and china.
"i recall that the majority of the 99.5% of kim's money came from lawyers who lived beyond the cm district and china."
Any proof of that Pops? -Or just another Palin-izm.
Why don't you just look it up on the BOE's website?
He should go back to delivering Mexican food. What a despicable human being. Maybe we can get him for perjury now, too.
All studies point to Bell's Palsy being caused by a virus, not a dressing down by a council member.
the Board of Election's website is exactly where this data was analyzed.
i believe Q.C.,during the Halloran/Kim race, had a link to a post where one could read the donor list.
it could be significant for this incident
is chu's lawyer or firm on the list ?who is his lawyer ?
Chu got NOTICE of Slander from the N.Y.C.Comptroller's Office.
see n.y.post, nov.5,2010.
and who just happens to be the Comptroller ? none other than Flushing's own former cm., John Liu.
did he use caucasian vs. asian incidents to promote discrimination ? was he not always in the media for his biases?

Here's your boy Dan-the Man-:

with 25 pages of donations for Kim, compared to a few for Halloran ,note that only .05% came from the cm district for Kim.
if the democrats could read a 2700 page obamacare bill, they must be able to scan only 25 pages ?
do not be discouraged by LEFTY.
Gramps at it again:
"with 25 pages of donations for Kim, compared to a few for Halloran.."
There you go again...being a little trick and loose with the truth dad?
There are -18- pages for hollow-suit Halloran.
He won by just FIVE points against a flawed (and Asian) candidate in the last white district in the borough.
The clock is ticking.
I believe he was talking about donations from outside the district, lefty. In that case, yes, it was only a few for Halloran.
Once again I ask, Righty. Did you read the document? How do you know what's there.
Using another right-wing cliche, Gramps?
Yes, Lefty, I did read the document. It's posted above. Stop calling everyone Gramps. You sound stupid and paranoid.
What does this have to do with Halloran and Chu fighting?
Chu's a liar and (generally speaking) Halloran's a doofus.
But in court evidence rules,
not unsupportable accusations.
Nobody heard the supposed slur (or recorded it) so nobody said it.
Case dismissed!
Next liar, please step up to the jury box.
Plus, it's not like this Chu guy has a history of vindictive behavior... right?
i would like to know just who, or the political group ,that is counseling and financing( dukan donuts) Dan Chu's legal case?
Palin was inundated with frivolous suits by her enemies while Governor of Alaska.
the left targets a conservative/g.o.p member and attempts to waste time and money in legal cases that can not be won by them.
one party systems in democrat queens cannot handle the existence of three cons/g.o.p. cm, just
elected in 2010.
the chinese,korean and indian property owners in our neighborhood had VOTE FOR HALLORAN signs on their lawns.
like all upper middle class citizens ,in Bayside, they want property taxes lowered. they do not believe in spend and tax representatives of the LEFT. like Kim.
that is why he lost in our district.
BTW , John Liu voted to raise property taxes 20.8 % since 2002, whlie he was a CM.
Anon. No. 37:
One party will always target members of another party, especially if they think that person can be defeated, Gramps. It's always been the way of our political system, and it always will be, except for the RepubCons in this city, who don't even make a real attempt to win elections in a lot of cases, regardless of what the registration figures are.
The Democratic Party, no doubt, thinks that halloran can be had in the next election, so they're going after him. It's less so with Eric Ulrich. Peter Koo? Your guess is as good as mine.
