This weekend I was reminded as to exactly why I started "Blue Friday" so many years ago. It is a reminder I wish I never had, and my heart goes out to Sergeant French of the Troy Police Department , his family and friends and hope for a full and quick recovery. It reads like the opening scene in a movie. A routine police stop in an instant becomes a deadly situation, leaving a police off

Two men robbed a guy and stole his car in Schenectady, according the Times Union. They allegedly pretended they were cops.

Of course everyone is talking about and grateful for the fact that David Sweat was captured by police yesterday.

I'm not sure that this guy shouldn't be nominated for Neighbor of the Year. Listen, I know all too well that sometimes a neighborhood dog or cat can be a nuisance. I get it.
