Daily Briefing: Arrested Cop Speaks Out, Man Stabs Ex's Fish, and the Ultimate Sacrifice at Ground Zero

3 Officers Added to Wall. Three NYPD officers who died of illnesses related to Ground Zero work will have their names inscribed on a wall honoring their service. They were among a group of 10 who will be honored. You can go back and check out the member tribute to all of those lost after the attacks at PoliceLink's September 11th Tribute.

Officer Responds. After news broke that an off-duty officer was arrested for flashing his gun on a commuter train, he has since told reporters that he was acting in self defense. Video of his response is here. The officer faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

Facebook Strikes Again. “LIFE IS VERY SIMPLE REALLY!!!!” says the criminal. “BUT SOME OF US HUMANS MAKE A MESS OF IT…REMEMBER AM JUST HERE TO HAVE FUN PARTEEEEEEE.”

Clever officers tracked down the international fugitive living in U.S. after he made some foolish comments on Facebook.
