NEW YORK — Cheesecake in hand, the police commissioner personally apologized Friday for the 50 or so mistaken, door-pounding visits that police have made to the home of a bewildered elderly Brooklyn couple in the past eight years.

It seems a glitch in computer records had led them over and over to Walter and Rose Martin's modest home in the Marine Park neighborhood, about 7 miles southeast of the Brooklyn Bridge.

The most recent intrusion came Tuesday, with officers pounding on both the front and back doors, yelling "Police, open up!"

Well, and even if not, I would think that the address would keep coming up in different officer's reports of stops they made.  A pattern would have emerged.  Or is this a case of departments not talking to each other or assuming that someone else was fixing it. 

And they brought them a cheesecake?  WTF?  Is that the new way to say, "Sorry that we have messed with your life the last seven years"  ?

Can I do anything and as long as I bring over a cheesecake, it is all good?  Just wonderin'?

Sounds to me like a problem apparently endemic in police forces the world over; that for all the bravery and good they do, a large proportion of officers are just plain not too bright, bless 'em. And if its anything like here on top of that, where officers are moved from department to department every six to twelve months with each new initiative or commander, that lack of brightness is doubled as accounting lines are disrupted and lost.

Still its good the issue in this case has been identified and an apology made. A cheesecake and a public sorry may or may not settle it, but its worth a try compared to the potential cost of a lawsuit.

I'd have to ask that you show me some leg, along with bringing cheesecake products.

And if I do that I can do ANYTHING that I want?  Because in that case, it is a deal!

For sure, there is good in the NYPD, and in all cop forces. I work in a court, and know quite a few of them, and some asshammers, too.
