Members of the press pool reportedly swooned for Police Commissioner Ray Kelly yesterday when he saved them from vermin with a swift flick of his foot. According to the Daily Politics, Kelly’s press conference to announce an 11 percent drop in major felony crime at city schools was interrupted by “gasps and squeals” as “various female reporters” noticed a giant cockroach crawling “dangerously close to a bag belonging to WNBC-TV's Melissa Russo.”
But while others froze in panic, our commissioner took charge. According to the transcript, Kelly stepped up and showed those eggheads how they handle roaches in the NYPD:
(Kelly):"With the right shoes, you can get right up on it."Forget throwing money away on expensive exterminators—next time you’ve got an infestation, just put your tax dollars to work by calling 911!(He then stamps on the cockroach, which squishes in a satisfying sort of way, eliciting several loud and admiring EWWWWs and OHs from the press corps.)
(Kelly): "There you go."

Kelly should have pumped a clip into that piece of vermin. Any real cop would have.
I thought that if you stomp on a roach you are at risk for releasing their eggs and tracking them around.
You people had better pray that roach wasn't 'connected'.
If only Officer Pogan could skitter so easily underfoot...
Since Kelly has a Ph.D. he was more of an egghead than anyone else at the press conference.
I hear Al Sharpton is planning a protest march for oppressed roaches everywhere and NYPD's brutality against them.
@devil - that's what I was thinking!
"Forget throwing money away on expensive exterminators—next time you’ve got an infestation, just put your tax dollars to work by calling 911! "
911 has enough shit to deal with. Ladies, grow some balls and step on those roaches your damn selves.
