Anyone in the Dannemora area should contact the New York State Police if they saw or heard anything early this morning, or find that they have a vehicle which is unaccounted for.

UPDATE III: With Power Tools and a Ruse, 2 Killers Escape New York Prison.

It appears the two convicted murderers who escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, NY did not use a rock hammer like Andy Dufresne in the movie, ‘The Shawshank Redemption,’ but power tools instead.

Duping guards with dummies fashioned out of sweatshirts and using power tools to drill out of their cells, the men escaped late Friday or early Saturday, emerging on the other side of the prison’s 30-foot-tall walls.

In an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America” broadcast early Sunday, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said that investigators were trying to determine how the two men managed to acquire the tools – and use them – to drill through steel walls, pipes and stone walls in fashioning a subterranean escape route without detection.

But, even more pressing, the governor said, was the manhunt.

“The first order of business is to get these killers back,” the governor said.

UPDATE IV: New York officials offer $100,000 reward For Escaped Inmates.

Baffled New York state officials announced a $100,000 reward Sunday for the capture of two murderers who used power tools to pull off an astonishing escape from a maximum-security prison near the Canadian border.

That’s $50,000 for information leading to the arrest of each fugitive: Richard Matt, 48, who kidnapped a man, beat him to death and dismembered him in 1997, and David Sweat, 34, who killed a sheriff’s deputy in 2002.

Daily Commentary – Wednesday, January 7, 2015 – NYPD Officers Turn Their Backs on Mayor De Blasio Once Again and De Blasio Fights Back

• De Blasio blasts the NYPD officers that turned their backs on him at the second officer’s funeral

Bill O’Reilly Says NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is ‘Spitting in the Face’ of NYPD and Needs to Go Now”

Bill O’Reilly on the Factor could not have said it any better with regards to the riff between the NYPD officers and progressive, liberal NYC Mayor Bill de Blazio. O’Reilly blasted de Blasio’s actions and applauded the police officers turning of their back on the mayor in disrespect.  O’Reilly said, “there comes a point in time where ideology becomes so damaging to society that it has to be stopped. Mayor de Blasio is as left-wing as they come.”

OReilly says de Blasio has reached the point of no return, HE MUST GO!!!

Mediaite:

But O’Reilly was especially angry with NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio for speaking of “injustice among his own police officers” and essentially “spitting in the face of his own police department.” O’Reilly had absolutely no problem with cops turning their backs to de Blasio at a funeral for one of their own, because they had no call to directly show the mayor any respect at the service.

UPDATE I: Mayor de Blasio Tuesday’s news conference:

Those racist cops, keeping the city safe, imagine that.

Police Officers Turn Their Backs on Mayor de Blasio Again … This Time at the Funeral of NYPD Officer Wenjian Liu (VIDEO)

As Yogi Berra used to say, “It’s like deja-vu, all over again.”

Despite requests and the memo sent to the NYPD by Commissioner Bratten not to turn their backs this weekend on NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, today at the funeral of NYPD officer Wenjian Liu, police officers by the thousands ignored the request and once again turned their backs on NYC Mayor de Blasio.

Thousands of police turned their backs Sunday as Mayor Bill de Blasio eulogized an officer shot dead with his partner, repeating a stinging display of scorn for the mayor despite entreaties to put anger aside.

The show of disrespect came outside the funeral home where Officer Wenjian Liu was remembered as an incarnation of the American dream: a man who had emigrated from China at age 12 and devoted himself to helping others in his adopted country. The gesture among officers watching the mayor’s speech on a screen added to tensions between the mayor and rank-and-file police even as he sought to quiet them.

Sorry, but the police officers have every right to turn their backs in disrespect to the mayor. It was de Blasio who started this and continues to take the side of others against the NYPD. To get respect you must be worthy of respect and de Blasio is not. The police are supposed to be vilified by punks and the NYC mayor and in turn are supposed to just stand there and take it? Sorry police commissioner Bratton, it does not work that way and you know it.

Check out all of the police officers with their backs turned to the monitor of Mayor de Blasio speaking in the background.
