NYPD Did Nothing

In the next 24 hours, a dozen New Yorkers will be put in the hospital, simply because they got on their bicycle or went for a walk. Traumatic brain injury, loss of limb, in-erasable trauma; this is the reality of walking and bicycling in New York City.
These crashes kill and injure tens of thousands of New Yorkers every year. And 99.5 percent of the time, the New York City Police Department fails to investigate. It’s the inexcusable reason why most drivers who kill never even get a summons.

Nov 25, 1952
British soldiers leave NY. On this day in 1783, nearly three months after the Treaty of Paris was signed ending the American Revolution, the last British soldiers withdraw from New York City, the last British military position in the United States. After the last Redcoat departed New York, U.S. General George Washington entered the city in triumph to the cheers of New Yorkers. The city had remained in British hands since its capture in September 1776.
