We're the Only Ones 'Catch-and-Release' Enough

The two off-duty cops allegedly punched and kicked a 26-year-old Yonkers man who was walking with two women. What triggered the alleged attack was not clear.

Officers from the 47th Precinct, driving by the fight, grabbed the two suspects and handcuffed them, sources said.

But when arresting officers learned the two were off-duty cops, they let them go, sources said.
You know: "professional courtesy."

New York City cops... Why doesn't this surprise me?

Cops have a culture of arrogance that needs to be smashed.

Do trigger fingers count?

Having spent the 80's in the Bronx (52nd Pct.), the only unusual thing about this entire affair is that it made the papers.
