Off-duty NYPD cop assault on-duty transit worker

One minor nit-pick, I wouldn't consider the NY Daily News to be media. It is a tabloid. Sure, that may be cutting hairs, but the NY Daily News can be quite unprofessional when it comes to reporting. "hulking brute" is typically something you won't read in professional journalism. And the word "allegedly" is critical to prevent being sued. Until they are convicted, it is "allegedly".

True, but you probably read it on a lot of police reports.

Although, if even the Daily News cleans it up, does that diminish the claim or enhance it?
