Who’s the punisher now?

Raban, on his old job
Brent Raban, a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office sergeant once known on the tough streets of Belle Glade as “The Punisher,” was fired by Sheriff Ric Bradshaw.
Raban, 34, an 11-year veteran, broke his promise to be good made last year to save his job when he was demoted to patrolman. He’d been bragging on Facebook about beating suspects.
Now, one of his neighbors in Lake Worth has been complaining Raban is “harassing” and “intimidating” her, and Internal Affairs recommended after a long probe that he be terminated.
Bradshaw signed off on it Friday.
Raban made news last year when it was revealed he patrolled the nightscape wearing a camouflage skullcap with the word PUNISHMENT. His strange Facebook postings also surfaced.
In one, he wrote he considered his job to be not so much about fighting crime as about applying punishment! Another read: “But like a good batterer, I know the areas that hide the marks well.” Better yet: Raban, who admitted to being a fan of comic books with troubled heroes like Batman and The Punisher, once commented how he hadn’t beaten anyone in 11 days.
