HPD NEEDS YOUR HELP




The picture above is from a surveillance camera at the ATM at the Bank of America on Blue Hills Avenue while a 78 year old woman was being robbed on August 8 at approximately 9:38am.

If you recognize the individual in the picture, please contact Hartford Police Major Crimes Division at 860-757-4256

I heard a cop saw this going down, but thought the suspects were Jamican immigrants, so they did not take immediate action. Well, if a cop sees one of these guys, do they need to get cotto's permission to stop them?

Terrible thing; and all to common around here. Was she injured?

Come on: Cotto wouldn't have any problem dealing seriously with these thugs; just keep track of their religious, ethic, and sexual orientation after the arrest.

The cops should look for these guys in Cotto's attic.

Send Cotto to figure out the crime...maybe he can bring some bags of popcorn to disperse to the criminals in exchange for their promise to be good citizens

Cotto's next ordinance will include that any time anyone is about to be arrested he has to be called at home first.

Apparently he's going to be keeping his own data. His spread sheet has four columns, one of which is labeled "Lily White". Scoring that column brings a smile to his face.

I live in the Blue Hills area part of Hartford, a few streets away from the crime scene. That particular Bank of America branch is known to have more than a few shady individuals going there at different times of the day and night. I don't believe any of them are "lily white."

I come from a culture, er ethnicity which does make a practice of referring to shades when talking to color. Negro, Moreno, Cimarron, Trigueño, Mulatto, Blanco, Blanquito, Cocolo (this also refers to those who love salsa) are all separate degrees/ shades of skin color.
----------------------
I think these guys might be Negros Cocolos (obviously they like salsa). The head gear of the fellow in the background suggests he might be a sikh, but the black clothing of both guys says they may be Catholic clergy, or are they part of the chimney-sweep-american community (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Any truth to the rumor that Cotto has just been hired to stand by that bank with bags of marshmellows to toss at prospective perps as a warning, as they approach to rob the bank?

Cotto would change his tune if it were his relative who was the victim of this crime...

"Cotto would change his tune if it were his relative who was the victim of this crime."
------------------------
You know, with these idealogues, be-fogged with utopian abstractions, it's not always the case that even such personal experience can break through.
But, who says they aren't his relatives? (Sorry Luis, no serious offense intended.) But, I'd say Luis is approximately Trigueño, so these depraved-on- account-of-being-deprived are a bit too chocolate. (I could have come from a culture in which we referred to everybody in terms of food. So, vanilla, mocha, frog, limey, fish-eater, beaner, etc.)
What I wonder, in a quasi-serious vein, is whether the prohibition in his proposed ordinance on asking identification without reasonable suspicion of criminal behavior would stop the cops from asking for id from these thugs if they were seen sipping coffee at Tissane.

I come from a culture wherein we also use zoological classification to differentiate peoples. So, for example, my folks are woodchucks. As indicated by Senor Anonymous, around here we have plenty of jackasses.

Peter Brush: U R too funny. Cotto and his followers don't get you. Probably don't understand Stephen Colbert either...
