<p>According to the NYPD, the woman who pointed him out in a line-up decided to no longer cooperate with police and subsequent line ups with other victims failed to identify Flecha as the culprit. For now, the Heartland Brewery bartender is being charged with pot possession, while the sexual assault charges have been dropped. That&#8217;s probably a small consolation now that the only thing he&#8217;s really guilty of is being a perv. </p>

<p>Witnesses say a man with a bloody eyepatch ran towards him while yelling &#8220;you owe me money&#8221; and then proceeded to stab him multiple times in the neck with a pocketknife.</p>
<p>This all happened near the 23rd Precinct station house in front of a handful of toddlers and their nannies as well as about 20 other people.</p>
<p>The NYPD promptly arrived on the scene with guns drawn, the man continued the assault. One person can be heard off camera repeatedly yelling, &#8220;hit him in the head.&#8221; It was a surreal scene as the crowd was probably expecting the usually trigger happy cops to shoot the guy or something, yet even with them surrounding the suspect, he refused to stop. You know it&#8217;s a strange day in New York when there&#8217;s people begging the police to use force. See the entire graphic video below.</p>

<p>After searching the man and finding some weed on him, they noticed he resembled one of the many sketches the NYPD has been circulating and took him to the precinct where he was identified by one of his victims.  </p>

<p>These numbers are of particular importance because it shows an upward trend from a mere 12% approval rating in 1969 to 30% in 2000 and 46% in 2010. If it continues like this, politicians may even consider endorsing it.</p>

<p>Zombies are having their day in the sun with everyone from Hollywood Studios to unfortunate OWS protesters paying homage to the undead, so it should come as no surprise that someone has finally made a Christopher Walken tribute video titled <a href="http://laughingsquid.com/the-walken-dead-a-zombie-virus-that-causes-people-to-quote-christopher-walken/"><em>The Walken Dead</em>.</a><span id="more-163894"></span></p>
<p>Watch as zombies from all walks of life recite famous Walken one-liners and stumble around town. Personally, we prefer the actor&#8217;s far creepier appearance in Madonna&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUII7DTACf4&amp;ob=av2e">Bad Girl</a>&#8221; music video, but apparently being a chairlift-using Angel of Death doesn&#8217;t go as far as it used to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/nypd_stop_frisk.jpg" alt="" title="nypd_stop_frisk" width="300" height="232" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-163886" /> Apart from it being overtly racist, it leads to rampant abuse as demonstrated by Michael Daragjati, an eight year veteran of the force, is<a href="http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/17/officer-faces-civil-rights-charges-in-stop-and-frisk-arrest/?src=tp"> charged with violating a 31-year old man&#8217;s civil rights</a> in connection with the NYPD&#8217;s controversial stop and frisk policy.<span id="more-163853"></span></p>
<p>After searching the African-American male and having found nothing, the officer was asked for his badge number, an act which immediately led to the man&#8217;s arrest and 36 hour detention. Daragjati filed a bogus report claiming the suspect flailed his arms and legs and had to be arrested, but that did not hold up for long. </p>
<p>Making matters even worse, the cop was then caught on wiretap telling a friend that he just &#8220;fried another nigger.&#8221; Another investigation is currently underway regarding a separate incident where the same cop and his friends beat up and threatened at gunpoint a man who he believed stole his snowplow. The officer then bragged to someone about it while showing pictures of the man&#8217;s injuries on his cell phone. </p>
