A Brooklyn construction worker claims a spooked NYPD cop pulled his service revolver on him and holstered it only after a pal whipped out a cellphone and threatened to record the incident, a $5 million Brooklyn federal lawsuit alleges.
Mark Fullerton, 46, pulled onto the shoulder of North Conduit Avenue near a Shell gas station in July 2013 to stabilize building materials in the back of his truck when Officer Michael Fitzgibbon ordered him into the vehicle, according to the suit.

A former NYPD sergeant accepted thousands of dollars in bribes from a private investigator in exchange for key confidential information from an FBI database about witnesses in federal criminal cases, prosecutors charged Wednesday.
Ronald Buell, who retired from the NYPD in February, and Joseph Dwyer, a Long Island-based private investigator often retained by court-appointed lawyers, were arrested Wednesday and each charged with bribery, bribery conspiracy and unauthorized access to a federal database.

It’s devastating to come home and find your house has been burglarized, but imagine this: Josie-Ann Pilotte came home to find her home was stolen.
Pilotte was building a small cabin in the Yukon woods with her bare hands over a three week period as a cozy place to get away when she had the chance. She planned to move the 200-square-foot structure to another location, and it was almost done when, two weeks ago, she hiked with her dogs and found an empty space.

Rwanda is not cool with the fact that the U.S. and Spain have Ebola. Not cool at all. The African nation about 2,600 miles east of Liberia hasn’t had a reported case of Ebola yet. Perhaps that spotless record is why its government announced Tuesday that it will screen all Americans and Spaniards trying to enter the nation. That’s right, some Africans are saying you’re too much of an infection risk to enter their country. Continue reading “Rwanda Starts Testing American Visitors for Ebola”
For millions of years, Barracuda have hunted us down and torn our flesh with their enormous jaws. But barracuda are also really shiny, and hopefully they will stop devouring us. For this reason, we are endorsing Barracuda for governor.
Sardines chose not to make an endorsement in the primary to send a strong message to the Barracuda that their sedulous pursuit of sardine mass murder was unreasonable. So far, Barracuda have ignored this gesture; Barracuda seem to take special joy in eating our children. Continue reading “Sardines Endorse Barracuda For Governor”

The owners of nearly 5 million vehicles are being urged to take immediate action as a result of a massive recall to replace potentially defective airbags that have been linked with multiple deaths in recent months. The recall impacts cars, SUVs, vans and trucks manufactured by Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, BMW and General Motors (GM) from 2000 through 2006.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the recall of more than 4.7 million vehicles Monday, and has set up an online vehicle identification number (VIN) look-up tool at this link. Drivers can simply type a vehicle’s VIN to determine whether it is affected by the recall and needs service. Continue reading “AirBag Recall: 4.7 Million Vehicles Require Immediate Service”

A newly created database of New Yorkers deemed too mentally unstable to carry firearms has grown to roughly 34,500 names, a previously undisclosed figure that has raised concerns among some mental health advocates that too many people have been categorized as dangerous.
The database, established in the aftermath of the mass shooting in 2012 at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and maintained by the state Division of Criminal Justice Services, is the result of the Safe Act. It is an expansive package of gun control measures pushed through by the administration of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo. The law, better known for its ban on assault weapons, compels licensed mental health professionals in New York to report to the authorities any patient “likely to engage in conduct that would result in serious harm to self or others.” Continue reading “Mental Health Issues Put 34,500 on New York’s No-Guns List”
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – Sharee Talbot wants her dog back. For now, though, she has to drive out of town to visit Buddy because the two-year-old pit bull isn’t allowed in her hometown of Aurora.
“Look at him. He’s funny. He’s goofy,” Talbot said on a recent visit with Buddy and his foster family at an Englewood dog park. Talbot had to give up Buddy last year after an Aurora animal control officer seized him for violating city’s ban on pit bulls. Continue reading “Pit bull vote aims to settle disputes over breeds”
PRINCE RUPERT, British Columbia — A disabled Russian container ship carrying hundreds of tons of fuel is adrift again but officials said Saturday there is no immediate risk of it reaching shore, hitting rocks and causing a spill.
Royal Canadian Navy Lt. Greg Menzies said a tow line from the Coast Guard ship Gordon Reid got detached, but he noted that the Russian vessel is now 24 nautical miles (44 kilometers) away from shore. Menzies said efforts are under way to get the line re-attached.
The Canadian Coast Guard vessel Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Spar were also on to assist if needed, while an ocean-going tugboat was expected to arrive in the area late Saturday or early Sunday. Continue reading “Container ship towed but now drifting again off Canadian coast”
