Say, what?

A CYNICAL LOOK AT THE DAILY GRIND

ON A ROLL

A New Jersey attorney was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon when he refused to move his vehicle after pulling it onto a police officer's foot during a traffic stop.


Patrolman William Cytryszewski was explaining the traffic violation to Steven Cohen, 54, of Manalapan after he stopped the lawyer for reckless driving when Cohen drove over the officer's foot, trapping him. Cohen then refused to move his car.

Police did not report why Cohen refused to move the car or why it took another responding patrolman to help get the 2007 Nissan Murano off Cytryszewski's foot.

Rumor has it Cohen accidentally ran over the cop's foot when he was told to leave. He stopped the car when he heard Cytryszewski scream and didn't move it because he didn't want to injure the police officer further.

Cohen was processed and released on $10,000 bail.

Cytryszewski was taken to CentraState Medical Center where he was treated and released.

Can we now assume "flatfoot" is politically correct?

I think this might be the only time I'm pulling for a lawyer.

How is it that the cop could not get out of the way of this rolling car?
What kind of rocket scientist does it take to be that near a tire so as to have it roll onto his foot?
Perhaps the officer needs some retraining in auto stops,eh?
Regardless if this was a malicious attempt on the part of Mr.Cohen or not,the officer should have utilized some more common sense.
