Police News Roundup

Today is a promotion ceremony at Police Headquarters. Base10 offers his congrratulations to all those being recognized.

In other police news, officers in East New York shot and killed a man after trying to stop him from assaulting a woman at 6am, this morning.

New York City was also rated the fifth safest big city in the United States. (Base10 thinks it's number one). The most dangerous city? Camden, NJ.

In other good news, the killer of Detectives James Nemorin and Rodney Andrews was indicted on federal murder charges stemming from the March 2003 shooting deaths. This paves the way for use of the federal death penalty in this case. New YOrk's death penalty has been ruled unconstitutional by the New York State Court of Appeals.

Also, several news reports reveal that the losers persons arrested during protests at the GOP convention are filing a class action lawsuit against the city.

Heroes:

Edmund King, who foiled a sex attack as he was riding his bicycle across the Williamsburg Bridge on Sunday.

Goats:

Capt. Richard Cole, who shot a 15 year-old in Staten Island in an apparently unjustified manner.

Peter Gotti, the former mob boss who was described as a "dope" in federal court yesterday.

Mayor Mike, of whom 58% of New Yorkers say they would not invite to Thanksgiving dinner. C'mon New Yorkers, is that nice?

Goats seem to outnumber heroes today. Oh well.

And finally in the "that's the cheesiest thing I've ever heard" department, the Golden Palace casino has bought a grilled cheese sandwich on sale on eBay for $28,000. The sandwich purportedly has the image of the Virgin Mary grilled into one of it's slices. Does it come with french fries resembling the apostles?
