The NYPD police inspector who pepper sprayed a fenced-in Occupy Wall Street protester has received his punishment: a shorter commute. I’m confused is he getting punished or rewarded? 10 out of 35 vacation days taken away and moved closer to home. Hit the jump to read the rest of the story.

NYPD Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna was quietly transferred to Staten Island, where he lives.

He is now reporting to borough command as a special projects coordinator, sources said.

The job has a lower profile than his previous assignment in Manhattan South.

Bologna was docked 10 vacation days after multiple videos caught him on Sept. 24 pepper spraying a young female protester who was simply sitting on the street.

Teacher’s aide Kaylee Dedrick, 24, has since said she plans to press assault charges against Bologna and file a lawsuit against both him and NYPD.

Bologna later said he was actually aiming for some male demonstrators who were trying to grab the legs of cops holding up an orange containment net around the protesters.
