Last weekend, a group of motorcyclists out for a group ride were involved in an altercation with a driver on the West Side Highway that resulted in an SUV running over one of the bikers, and the subsequent beating and knifing of the SUV’s driver. Now, it turns out three of the bikers in that […]
Streetsblog points to “Cops in Bike Lanes,” a single serving Tumblr dedicated to documenting all the times that, yes, cops park in bike lanes in NYC. A lot of the photos are from Downtown Brooklyn–Hoyt and Schermerhorn Streets in particular make many appearances–but this is a problem that absolutely exists everywhere. Parking in the bike […]
Fresh young cops! Big bad criminals! A mafia bro’s girl that needs masculine rescue! This is one of the most popular genres of movies being made in Russia right now — Special Forces cops, now with feelings! The newest — Breaking Loose from director Alexey Uchitel — will premiere at the Toronto International Film Fest next month. It […]
Cops! They’re just like us, because they take pictures of themselves! Only they’re armed with authority they never abuse. And guns. They’re also armed with guns. Here’s a selection of cops making duck-faces from a new, single-serving Tumblr. There’s only one question. It’s a little philosophical though. […]
Bill Bratton, a former police commissioner of both the New York and Boston police departments will be launching his own “Faceboook-like” social network, designed specifically for police.

Twenty-two-year-old Connecticut resident Willian Barboza was driving through the Catskills town of Liberty, New York last year when he was pulled over and ticketed for speeding. Barboza got home, plead guilty through the mail, and sent his ticket in–but not before eloquently expressing his dissatisfaction, scratching “Liberty” from the ticket, replacing it with “Tyranny,” and offering […]
Some cops were driving through Leicester, England, when one of them farted. Then he farted again. And again, and again, and again. Then, another officer cracked a window to get some fresh air, and asked the offending cop what he’d been eating. After “fits of giggles and denials,” the officers noticed the smell of weed […]
We first encountered Russian art student Peter Pavlesnkiy when he protested the trial of feminist punks from Pussy Riot by sewing his mouth shut — a classic! — and standing stoically until his banner was ripped from his hands. Two Pussy Riot activists are still serving years in a penal colony for seconds of anti-Putin performance […]
At 3pm yesterday, NYPD, state police, and DEA agents arrived at a Long Island City warehouse, seized 1,000 pot plants, arrested the heinous criminals that were growing the crop, and rolled out, thus bringing to an end the weed addiction epidemic that’s been plaguing New York for decades. What are you going to do with […]
