Cops ID one of the NYPD water throwers, say he’s a gang member

Cops have identified one of the punks who was caught on video dousing uniformed NYPD officers with buckets of water as they attempted to make arrests over the weekend, according to police sources.

The “person of interest” — described as a gang member in his 20s — was allegedly involved in the Brooklyn incident, which saw cops being drenched near 1400 East New York Ave., just blocks away from the 73rd Precinct station house in Brownsville.

Authorities were still looking for the suspect as of 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, sources said.

The NYPD is looking to wrangle several more people in connection to the water dousing videos, which sparked outrage over the weekend.

One of the clips was filmed in the 28th Precinct in Harlem, where uniformed officers got soaked on Sunday night while attempting to make an arrest. The Brownsville incident was said to have played out in similar fashion.

“They were responding out there, dealing with an incident. As they’re walking away, someone thought it was all right to take a bucket of water and toss it over the top of a cop’s head,” said NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan on Tuesday. “That’s not all right.”

The NYPD has been asking for the public’s help in identifying the people involved. Officials have vowed to bring them to justice.

“We will identify who was involved, and arrests will be made,” said Monahan.

Review: Animated ‘Chance’ takes on dog fighting with overly earnest yet well-intended spirit

The CG animated feature “Chance” is a well-intended but heavy-handed denunciation of the barbaric blood sport of dog fighting. The title character (voiced by Will Canon) is a dreamer of a pit bull, who believes in a canine god and a peaceful place where “Hatonas” (dogs) can live idyllic lives.... from latimes.com - Los Angeles Times http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-mini-chance-review-20190403-story.html>

Convicted rapist killer strikes again after getting out of jail

A convicted rapist killer who strangled a teen in 1981 and was suspected of cutting out the eyes out of an earlier victim has been arrested on a new rape charge, six years after he got out of jail. Christopher “Crazy Chris” Aniades, 62, is being held on an attempted forcible rape charge after he allegedly attacked the victim, according to the city Department of Correction. He’s being held at the Eric. M Taylor Center in Queens on first degree attempted rape, according to the city Department of Correction website. His arrest on Aug. 2 was based on a warrant issued by the state’s Division of Parole. The NYPD and the state DOC said they couldn’t provide details on Aniades’ latest offense. Aniades, who was released on Aug. 20, 2013 after spending more than 30 years in jail, became a poster boy of the violent 1980s in New York, when homicides routinely reached 2,000 a year. He was sentenced to 25-years to life for abducting, raping and killing 19-year-old Doreen Vitale on Oct. 15 198...
