Wow. Talk about a bad day at work.

I believe it should be postponed or cancelled as well. I am not a resident of NYC, but I would be livid to see resources going to a sporting event while my neighbors are without essentials like water, food, shelter and security.
I understand the need to "get back to normal" and the economic boost, but when hotels are housing victims, and PD/FD/EMS have their hands full, majority of gas stations closed, neighborhoods haven't seen City officials, relief agencies or the National Guard, having such an event is ridiculous.
If the volunteers want to make a difference, there are plenty of shelters that need help and thousands of elderly residents that are stuck in high-rises without a way to get groceries and staples without working elevators.

Looks like Boston PD got a few as well. I don't know the details but this photo showed up on a local blog.
I think it's funny that it came with a NY dealer plate on it, the bloggers didn't.

I'm utterly speechless as a police officer, hurt as an American and beyond disgusted as a father. May the man responsible for this burn in h3ll.

Norfolk County Sheriff's Department deputy and corrections officer Ryan Tvelia died Tuesday morning after being involved in an accident. He was on a department motorcycle on his way to a funeral for an officer's mother.


He leaves behind a wife and three kids.

RIP

Doesn't look like they had that much snow either. Hope you had a good time regardless.
As for the runaway pits, they have them in the east. There are a few on Rt 9 between Bennington, VT and Wilmington,VT in east and westbound. I think I have seen the elsewhere, but I can't recall off the top of my head.
Who manufactured the two Eagle County ambulances?

Power shut down in the Back Bay area so BPD could fight transformer fire on Scotia/Dalton Street. (reported 4-alarms)
Several high-rise buildings and large hotels without power.
Thankfully the weather is mild.
I was dining in a restaurant when the power went out. We were amongst the fortunate and had been served before the power went out.
A couple hours earlier, BFD was fighting a two-alarm fire on Haviland Street, just blocks away.

Busy night in Troy, fighting three seperate fires this morning: http://www.news10.com/story/16513452/three-fires-ignite-throughout-troy

I think at a certain point, people expect "value" for what they pay. When I lived in the city, I was paying less than $2,000 in property taxes, did I expect less in services? Not at all. Now that I live in the 'burbs and pay 4x times that in taxes, do I expect 4 times the services, not really. But I should be holding the public/elected officials to spending the tax renenue wisely.
I am not sure if the responsibility should be on the FD/EMS agencies to "educate" the public on how the budget is spent, but they should be able to answer to the inquiry.

I see they got Dish TV so they can watch the car chases.
