Park Slope cops blast Darth Vader's Imperial March

Imagine going for your nightly run in Prospect Park, when you suddenly hear Darth Vader's theme song blaring  in the distance. According to Daily Intelligencer, this is exactly what happened to Tyler Sargent a couple of weeks ago:

Tyler Sargent was out for a nighttime run in Prospect Park two weeks ago, at around 9 p.m., when he heard some familiar music in the distance. It was the "Imperial March" — also known as Darth Vader's theme song — and it was growing louder. That's when an NYPD cruiser drove by him, "blasting" the song "at a volume that surely must have drowned out any emergencies being dispatched from the Death Star," Sargent (who happens to be the former bassist for the band Clap Yours Hands Say Yeah).

And that's not the only instance of this happening. Park Slope resident, Scott Rosann, had the same experience while walking his dog on 5th Avenue back in March:

"No doubt whatsoever that that song was coming from that car," Rosann says. "No other squad cars arrived on the scene, so I was deprived of hearing the 'Raiders March' as an encore."

It's unclear if it's the same cops, or if it's a new enforcement tactic of the entire 78th precinct, but whatever the origin, it's pretty fucking funny. Any FIPS readers out there who have heard this?
