Cem Kurtulus (from the BP article) gets my award for best quote of the year when describing the guy who wrecked the car:

"... he looked like the most unstable guy on earth."

I also liked the "Jaw twitching".

I saw that Charger on 5th ave yesterday morning (pretty late- probably around 11:30) It was totally mangled and there was *still* a pretty decent crowd just looking at the car. Its a wonder that he could manage to go fast enough on 5th ave to wreck the car that effectively...it looked like it had been hit by a semi truck.

Seems like the NYPD has covered it up pretty well - no mention of the accident other than the BP and Patch.

Can you imagine if this guy wasn't a cop? Some coked-out drunk speeding through a residential neighborhood, injures two cops while running a red light?

He'd be front page of the Post by now.

Too bad Slavic Soul Party wasn't playing at the time. That would have added a nice soundtrack to the chaos.

I wouldn't count it out for tomorrow.

Totally. LOL!

Yeah I guess they are concentrating more on the store of the policeman that died in the line of duty Sunday in that precinct. His funeral is Friday. I didn't read anything about that here though.

Regardless of the very helpful fact you highlight, it is actually perfectly reasonable to discuss this scandal and threat to public safety.
