He said he got off at 50th and they were midtown north cops. One, I would think that the police, since he interacted with them, would file a police report and inform him of their precinct. I don't think they would just say "bye." And I think a cop would have to say something like "I'm Sargent McVey and this is officer Riley and we are with the 95th Precinct." Two, calling 911 and trailing the suspect would mean constant communication with the cops to give them a heads up on his movement and direction, that seems unlikely in this scenario. Three, his painstaking musings on this dude's background smacks of racism. Hey, I could be wrong, but I lived and worked in NY for 15 years. And I just don't see the logistics of the story playing out. Particularly the cops not identifying the precinct they were out of. V's Wife. I could be wrong, and if so will apologize.

V's wife - All excellent points. I have an uncle who is a transit detective. (and it's transit that normally handles something like this.)

Fuji here should just respond with the precinct number and cops name and I'll be back here and not only apologize but write a glowing note on his heroism. (after a couple of phone calls.)
