Police News Roundup
The Daily News reports a 68 year old man arrested for throwing a bowling ball out of a 17 floor window at cops. NY1 reports beefed up police operations in the aftermath of the Yassin killing in Palestine. The story is also in the Daily News and WNBC. The PBA and the SBA is complaining that the NYPD is cooking the books on crime statistics. The Village Voice is reporting the existence of a "hip-hop" intelligence unit. Nationally, members of the Cincinnati PD were cleared of criminal conduct in the Nov. 30 death of a man in custody. On a lighter note, AP reports a New Mexico restaurant worker was arrested for spitting in a police officer's hamburger. Perhaps it was the "special sauce." And in the "is nothing sacred" category, Thai police have arrested a ring of panhandlers disguised as Buddhist monks.
