Their gambit ended in a shootout with a man known for taunting cops. The fallout: Four officers were suspended, and one of them, controversial 7th District commander Mike Glasser, has launched a counteroffensive alleging that the Police Department's Public Integrity Bureau is targeting him while ignoring misdeeds of other supervisors.
