Also good police work.

Good (but not for tourism)
Here’s to Sgt Kelly and his good Times Square shooting! The man was carrying a card that said: “I feel sorry for a cop if he think I’m getting into his paddy wagon.”
Maurice Clemmons shot dead
Good shooting. Good riddance. Former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper has a good analysis: Clemmons, nursing a two-day old bullet wound to the stomach, having killed four cops already and facing at least life in prison, frantically searching for a way out of the state if not the country, and packing one of the dead officers’ sidearms, would have beyond…
Three Cheers for Police Sergeant Kimberly Munley
She did her job. And then some. And more. Update(November 12, 2009): Seems that Senior Sgt. Mark Todd did a lot of what was first credited to Munley. Oh, the fog of war. Regardless, three cheers to both of them.

More on Jonathan Ayers
As time goes on, I’m liking this shooting less and less. I love how some conspiracy anti-police folks were saying there was never a woman in his car and the police made all that up. There was.

That got me thinking. Here’s a later report [dead link removed] from the same Fox News station. [dead link removed] I replied to…
So, honey, how was your day at the office?
Check out this video. New Mexico is crazy, man (and I say that only because my wife is from there, ese)!
No Justice
Officer Rafael Lora was trying to do his job. Now he has no job and is looking at prison. The story in the New York Times and the Post. I wasn’t there. But I believe the officer. Why? Because why else would have Lora shot the driver? This is one case where even an NYPD officer should have trusted a…
Police officer fired for neglect, cowardice after failing to shoot at gunman
Policing is one of the few jobs where “cowardice” can get you fired. Here’s a fascinating storyby Brendan McCarthy in the New Orleans Times-Picayune about a police officer fired for not shooting a gun man. They see a man standing about 50 feet away in the street, pointing a gun. Pop, pop. … He chose to hold his fire and…
