Police car hit by bullet

From NY1:

The search is on for whoever fired the shot that struck a police car in Queens Saturday night.

Police say a single bullet shattered the car's back window around 8 p.m. on Beach Channel Drive in the Rockaways.

Neither of the two officers in the car was injured.

Local residents say violence in the area is on the rise.

"It's a constant thing that happens out here in Rockaway. Every week it's something else, either a shooting or something like this. And the violence needs to be stopped," said one Rockaways resident.

It's still not clear whether the police car was the intended target of the shooting.

That's the saddest thing of all: Your choice is between potential assassins or just general purpose screwballs.

This nonsense endangers both cops and neighbors. Certainly, it increases the probability that innocent people will be stopped and braced, maybe injured or killed in error as cops try to locate the culprits.

People don't just shoot at "officers" of the law. That individual must have a perpetual disdain for the NYPD.

Doesn't the NYPD teach something to the effect : It's us vs them?

This entire report is a disgraceful lie to hurt our Commissar.

Didn't the Commissar spend hundreds of millions of dollars to announce that crime was down because of him?

But:

Is it possible at all that our Commissar is just a cheesy, common liar who will lot cops die to protect his political campaign?
