You Seen Them Boats?

"I swear, man. I've seen these boats trawling the Hudson, just cruising from Staten Island out towards Manhattan and back. I /swear/ I saw them fish somebody up outta' the water today! Just dragged some poor fat slob caught in the current out of the water, he didn't look alive to me… But man — you know what, a bunch of police boats came out not long after, and they had divers too… What'dya think was going on?"
