Wondering what others make of this? http://crownheights.info/communal-matters/490550/brooklyn-da-investigation-into-crash-is-ongoing/

My takeaway is that the police and NYPD don't see eye to eye and there's enough tension for them to push this info on a local Jewish site? 

As for criminal charges I just hope a real investigation takes place with no politics.

    ah, this incident:  http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/45820/nypd-helicopter-/p1

    I suspect the DA routinely reviews traffic incidents that result in a fatality, and the NYPD is fine with the DA taking some of the heat off them re: the decision to arrest.

    After all, this livery driver is likely not going anywhere.

    If the DA feels they have enough evidence for a charge, he can be arrested then.
