Over a year ago, the NYPD announced that it would soon begin videotaping interrogations, despite the reluctance of many cops. Now, after an eight-month survey, that pilot program has finally begun: on Wednesday, interrogations started being videotaped in the 48th Precinct, which covers East Tremont and Fordham in the Bronx, and in the 67th Precinct, which covers East Flatbush, Brooklyn. more ›

Early this morning a 17-year-old boy was fatally shot at the southbound 2 train platform at the West Farms Square/East Tremont Ave stop, and police pulled at least 12 men from the platform for questioning. Police say the victim was shot in the chest around 1:30 a.m. and was pronounced dead on arrival at St. Barnabas Hospital. Oddly, of the 12 men pulled for questioning, the Daily News reports that "about eight of them wore similar orange puffy jackets." We're not sure if that's some sign of violence, or if eight people in the Bronx just had really bad fashion taste. more ›

Yesterday, the police released surveillance video images of two men suspected of attacking and robbing a 90-year-old man in his Harlem apartment building earlier this month. The victim, Jesse Little, has been speaking out, discussing the crime, "One of them put an arm around my neck and pulled me to the ground. The other guy took the money from my pocket," and making his feelings known, "I want to put ‘em in jail for life. That’s what I want. I wish I had a gun. I’d blow their brains out." more ›

How can you tell when you've been slinging drugs for too long on the same corner? When police are able to use Google Maps to identify you. NYPD set up a sting on a drug crew working near the Cooper Park Houses in East Williamsburg yesterday, busting seven dealers including three whose faces were captured in the Google street view. And the police did so in the guise of hipsters. "They were catering to the hipster crowd, among other customers," one law-enforcement source told the Post. more ›

One of the suspects in the brutal attacks on three men—allegedly prompted by their sexuality—made bail as another one was arrested. In the meantime, the alleged gang leader said in a jailhouse interview, "I don't have anything against homosexuals. I'm not a monster," and argued he couldn't be involved, since he recently got out of jail. more ›

The three 18-year-old and one 25-year-old arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in Central Park early Sunday morning were released today. The Post reports, "To the frustration of cops and prosecutors, four young sex suspects are going free in the coming days -- because the women they're accused of attacking have emotional or drug issues too severe for them to testify credibly." more ›

Kelly added, "He's a terrific young police officer and was extremely well respected. This underscores the dangers of the job." more ›

Speaking to City Room, NYPD spokesman Paul J. Browne declined to provide any information on "how we identified these individuals." more ›

A Mexican day laborer is hospitalized with brain damage after being attacked somewhere in Williamsburg or Bushwick by three black men shouting "wetback." Mario Vera was riding his bike back home to Bushwick with groceries from a lower Manhattan food pantry when the young men hit him in the back of his head "with something hard" while yelling anti-immigrant slurs. The assault happened on September 23rd, but wasn't reported until last Friday, because Vera is an undocumented immigrant afraid to go to the police. (NYPD policy prohibits officers from sharing law-abiding immigrants' status with the Feds, but it has been known to happen.) more ›

Police have identified the second suspect in the savage beating of an openly gay Queens man who is still in grave condition after the Friday morning attack. On Sunday police arrested 26-year-old Daniel Aleman and charged him with assault and aggravated assault as a hate crime; they say the second assailant is Daniel Rodriguez, 21, of College Point, Queens.

He's in a medically-induced coma. more ›

More details on the two suspects arrested Monday night in connection with a series of violent muggings in the West Village: the Post, in an article headlined "Village Vermin Busted," hears from an anonymous source in the NYPD, who says cops spotted them "lurking in the shadows of a building. Something was not right. They took off immediately." A witness describes the high-profile bust: "Two cop cars pulled up and other cops were running down the middle of street. The cop cars screeched up to the intersection. It was very dramatic. Neighbors even stuck their heads out their windows to watch. They were saying, 'Did they get them? Did they get them?'" And one of the suspects, 21-year-old Adam Temple of Crown Heights, allegedly tossed a 9 mm pistol aside before being tackled. The Post says he was later found with a stolen credit card. more ›

The police are looking for 10 teenagers suspected in at least six robberies in Riverside Park and on Riverside Drive. WNBC reports that two to 10 suspects, black males ranging in age from 13 to 17 years old, have been involved in each robbery. The most recent one was on Wednesday where "10 men assaulted a 28-year-old man in Riverside Park and stole his back pack," and there was another a few weeks ago where they "threw a stick in the wheel of a 26-year-old man's bicycle, causing the victim to fall off the bicycle" (then they assaulted and robbed him).
