The picture shows a reservoir or dam running through it.Can anyone tell me what city it is? To see the picture, go to m.www.yahoo.com and see the above titled article under the "TODAY" section of the home page


Answer
The city is Rochester, NY.

A link to the article later appeared on Yahoo's regular home page, where a larger version of the picture also appeared. If you right-click on the picture you get the following URL with the letters "rochester" as part of it: http://l.yimg.com/a/i/ww/news/2009/10/23/rochester-main.jpg

Compare the picture with the following:

It's a good question since a different picture of Rochester is used in the article where Rochester is later mentioned.

Do you think this is Rochester police abuse of power?

Answer
Rochester has a long history of bad cops, so this is nothing new. Frankly, this latest incident is relatively mild.

Rochester had a seriously deranged Police Chief named Gordon Urlacher in the 1980s and early 1990s. The Rochester police were completely out of control back then. Some people believe that several of the era's unsolved homicides were killings done by the police.

There were dozens (hundreds?) of incidents involving police use of electric torture in the Public Safety Building in the 1980s. Cops were also demanding bribes from the hookers and pimps in the Lake/Lyell area. Urlacher went away to prison for 4 or 5 years on federal charges, but he should have been executed. The tradition of bad cops in Rochester continues to this day.

Rochester is a very unsafe city. It has high crimes and bad police.
