Four Jersey Cops Could Lose Jobs Over Rap Video

Including the police union president in Irvington

Four Irvington police officers who starred in a controversial music video that featured the town's police union president spouting what some have called racially insensitive and homophobic remarks are facing internal affairs charges and could be fired, officials said.

Officer Maurice Gattison — who went by the handle "Gat The Great" and called himself a "felon for life" while rapping in two separate videos — and three other officers were charged with conduct unbecoming a police officer, an infraction that could cost them their jobs, Irvington Police Director Joseph Santiago said.
