Let's get back to this unfortunate lady and the NYPD. My problem with all this is that there apparently are no consequences whatsoever for the NYPD. "We're sorry" -- that's it?
Where's the review board? Where's the televised hearing? Where are the pointed and uncomfortable questions being posed to those in charge of this fiasco while they sweat and squirm in their seats? Where's the recommendations for changed procedures to prevent something like this from happening again?
Mistakes like this might just be forgivable. Mistakes like this that we fail to learn from, that we fail to even care to learn from, are not."
Don't worry, its all in the works. Sharpton is beating the drums already and the Lt. is on desk duty and will be facing a department trial.

The story further down stated that this was the only accidental death our of 1900 entries and this woman has a pre-existing condition for a fatal heart attack.
Granted they should review this to see if things could get even better, but by what I read, they do pretty darn good.
I figure if they stopped this kind of entry and enforcement of the law, thousands more would be dead by people who would have killed, been killed or over-dosed. Do it is a tragedy, but to lose hundreds or thousands of others by stopping is no answer.
