Geeez.... what a lousy streak of local news. Another cop, this time in Brooklyn, was rushed to the hospital and reportedly (NOT CONFIRMED) died from his injuries. He was called to a domestic argument at 3:00 a.m. and he was standing on the stoop of the combatants. He either fell or was pushed and sustained serious head trauma.

This came about 5 hours after a cop on Long Island was killed by "friendly fire" and a day after 14 bus passengers were killed in an accident on the highway. Seeing the absolute misery in Japan, and now the worry of nuclear meltdowns is the worst, though.
