WHY WOULD A NYPD OFFICER STEP INTO BLACK-ON-BLACK VIOLENCE IN TODAY’S NEW YORK? NYPD cops don’t lift a finger as 11-year-old is beaten in broad daylight. “An 11-year-old girl was slapped, punched, kicked and even shocked with a stun gun by a group of five other girls after a basketball game around 7 p.m. Sunday on East 125th Street near Madison Avenue in Harlem. During the roughly 4-minute beatdown, cops sat idly in nearby cruisers — but they didn’t get out until the girl was bloody and bruised, a Post photographer observed.”

Getting involved would be very high-risk, and the press would probably portray it as a harmless playground scuffle that a stormtrooper used as an excuse to beat up on innocent black children.

UPDATE: Via the comments on this post, note that NYPD says this story isn’t true.
