NYPD rushing a cop to Bellevue Jan 31 2012

Recorded January 31, 2012. 9.30pm. Various twitter feeds report a cop down at 370 Bushwick Ave in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

They rush him to Bellevue Hospital. Most traffic feeding onto the main route leading to the hospital was blocked off at least 5-10 min in advance of the emergency vehicles.


edit:
I was on the northbound M15 select bus when I began noticing cop cars at various intersections along the route beginning at Delancey St. As the bus headed up First Avenue, maybe half a dozen cop cars sped in front of the bus. Eventually the bus reached E 24th St where I began recording. I didn't know what was going on until later.

The full footage is actually 5 and half minutes long. but in the interest of time, I cut away most of the dull moments. I counted at least 36 among the initial escort in the video, then there's a 1 and a half min lull (edited out) before 7 more vehicles pass by. Then another 1 min lull before two black suburbans roll by with maybe mayor bloomberg, or police commissioner ray kelly in it flanked by black cars with a hatzolah ambulance trailing it (not on video).

Shot handheld using a canon elph. I didn't have either of my two high-rez low-light cameras with me, otherwise the video quality would have been much higher, and with better detail incl. ids of cars, etc.
