The mayor says there were 45 arrests in New York City last night compared to 345 arrests on a normal August Saturday night. Mayor Bloomberg said, “If that doesn’t tell you about New Yorkers, I don’t know what does.” That’s sweet. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s good there wasn’t massive looting, and New York is a pretty great place. But I’d bet that the low arrest total says a lot more about bad weather in general and in particular police being told not to arrest people unless absolutely necessary (to keep officers on the street).

Ya think? But don't burst the poor dear's bubble. It is awful sweet.
How can you hate a guy who isn't ashamed at all to speak such bad Spanish? (and speaks it better than me)
