NYPD Arrest's Drop 66% Since Murdered Officers

The execution-style murders of NYPD officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu have left a strong impact on the way that the rest of the police force carried out its duties in the time that followed.

According to statistics gathered by the New York Post, overall arrests made by the NYPD within a week's span following the deaths of the two officers dropped by 66%. Data was recorded from the first Monday, December 22nd, following the December 20th shooting, until December 29th of 2014, and that week's data was compared to the same numbers recorded in 2013. The findings were startling, as the amount of citations and arrests made by police are almost non-existent compared to the previous year.

The advisement of the Police Benevolent Association not to arrest people "unless absolutely necessary," has drastically lowered the number of police-to-civilian encounters since late December. Among the statistics provided by The Post, traffic violations dropped from 10,069 to 587, low-level offense summonses such as urinating in public dropped from 4,831 to 300, and parking violations fell from 14,699 to 1,241.

Photos Surface of Fugitive El Chapo Drinking & Flying in Plane

Mexico is in a state of emergency after kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaped from prison again, and photos have surfaced of him allegedly drinking a beer and flying in a plane. The photos leaked on a Twitter page allegedly belonging to the crime boss' son, but the photos have yet to be verified. Drug Enforcement Agent Mike Vigil doubts that Guzman's son would leak the photos, telling the San Antonio Express-News, "I don't think (his son) would leak those photos because that could be used to try and apprehend Chapo, and that would be circumventing his planned escape." The feared kingpin escaped from Altiplanoa, maximum security prison in Mexico, via a mile-long tunnel that many suspect was dug with help from the outside. El Chapo also escaped from prison in 2001 via a laundry cart, and he was found thirteen years later on a Mexican beach resort.
