Apparently in New York City, as in Philadelphia, you can punch a police officer in the face and get away with it.
NEW YORK -- Charges have been reduced against a former Philadelphia TV news anchor accused of hitting a New York City police officer.
Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Dina Douglas told 35-year-old Alycia Lane on Monday that if she is not arrested in the next six months, the charges will be dismissed.
The prosecution downgraded the charges from felony assault to misdemeanor obstruction of government administration and harassment. The district attorney's spokeswoman said the police officer's injuries did not rise to the level required by the felony charge. (H/T - NBC10)

Do you hear that, everyone? You can assault all of the police officers you wish in New York City and get away with it. It's open season up there! IT'S THUNDERDOME!!!
Of course, you realize that if the victim here were a district attorney or a municipal court judge, the felony charges would have stuck like Astroglide to Alycia Lane's nether-regions.
