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.

Didn't plan on selling it Kuz of label problems. It's a dope album. Got a lot of great feedback and millions of streams."

Lakers Fire Head Coach Mike Brown After Horrible Season Start

Unfortunately for the now former head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Mike Brown, has officially faced the music and been fired from his head coaching position. According to sources who reached out to ESPNLosAngeles.com's Ramona Shelburne, Brown's job was walking the plank looking out onto treacherous waters below after a more than disappointing 1-4 start to the Lakers season, which is the worst in the Western Conference. Two potential candidates are being offered the head coaching spot on an interim basis according to the source; assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff or Chuck Person. Brown has to be stressed, but at the end of the day, anyone who knows basketball knows the deal. If the coach isn't helping the team produce winning results, then he has to go. The Lakers are sporting an incredibly expensive payroll as well which is just over $100 million as they have (on paper at least) a monstrous lineup of quality talent in Kobe Bryant (who is battling a foot injury), ...
