Two Cops, Minus McLovin, Do Doughnuts in Brooklyn

2008_08_superbad.jpgA mother of two says that she witnessed two cops "doing doughnuts" with their patrol car on a Bay Ridge baseball field. While walking around the neighborhood early Sunday evening, January Hagan saw the patrol car revving up in the outfield until it began spinning out of control. She says that the car spun so wildly that the officers almost hit a pair of kids on tricycles, telling the NY Daily News, "The police car came within inches of killing two little children." When her husband asked the officers what was going on, the driver puffed away on a large cigar and sped off. The News reports that tire marks were left on the infield and outfield and still visible the next morning.

Were the children on the tricycles part of Critical Mass?

Cameraphones, people. You ain't nothin' nowadays without video proof.

What is it with cops and doughnuts?

You can't make this stuff up.

It amazes me that the NYPD is blowing off reports like this when there are so many reports of abuse of power. Does it take the kids actually getting hit by these idiots for something to be done about it?

This city needs to start taking care of "POTENTIAL" big problems before they become big.

Leading by example?

I should quote this article the next time I decide to display any "exibitionist" behavior in an empty parking lot.

"Hey, at least it's not in a ball field in the early evening with kids around!"

I'm sure that would work out fine...

Probably the first day they were assigned a Charger.

just another example of the notoriously useless 68th precinct. pathetic.

Yet more proof that New York has too many cops. 2,000 need to go.
