[edit] removed item about police officer shooting (no context or links)
I removed this line "1972 - Police Officer Phillip Cardillo responded to a 10-13 at Mosque Number 7 in Harlem and was shot to death while other responding NY Officers were severely beaten." My reason = there is no context or links to the story and it's not clear how it is significant. If this is note-worthy then please create an article of the episode and link to it from this date page. If not, then please do neither. Thanks, Hu Gadarn 17:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
