54 officers do not work 24/7. This means that at any given time, you probably have 15-25 officers to cover 6 square miles of territory. When seconds matter, that just isn't going to get it done.

That is a lot like what we have in OKC as far as coverage.

Massive protests underway in NYC, primarily at the Rockefeller Tree Lighting; this is after a Staten Island Grand Jury failed to indict the officer responsible for the chokehold death of Eric Garner. Chokeholds were banned by the NYPD in the 1990s.

I bet the lighting ceremony of that tree will regret being live on NBC tonight.
