We've all seen New York's Finest blowing through red lights, stop signs, and speeding down one way streets—and naturally assumed that they're responding to a dire emergency. And if you don't think a craving for Dunkin Donuts constitutes an emergency, then you haven't tried their bacon donuts. But here's a new twist: Robert Sietsema at the Village Voice reports that "traffic came to a halt on slush-choked Bleecker Street as a squad car, lights flashing, propelled up the thoroughfare in the wrong direction." The officers then backed up onto West 11th Street and "hopped out, looking furtively in both directions." And for good reason—there could be snipers, or worse: reporters.
Minutes later, according to Sietsema, they emerged with a box of pastries and cups of coffee from Magnolia Bakery. But we're sure there's a reasonable explanation for their reckless disregard of traffic laws. Like Magnolia's Banana Pudding—we'd mow down a dozen pedestrians to get some of that action right about now.
