Read what? I live in this neighborhood and grew up around here. Where did you grow up? Entertain me please. You realize that Eric was selling cigarettes (no id) to high school kids for months right? You realize that most people with families (majority) in that neighborhood, do not support him... right? Yes he died. Everything went well during his previous arrests. When he decided to resist he knew what he was getting into. He simply did not want to deal with the third record of the same kind / fines. If you want to claim that multiple officers that detained him over last few years were all targeting him and making up stories, just so they can force him to resist arrest, feel free. In general, I don't understand why people who obviously never lived in a such community are so eager to give their 2 cents. If this guy was selling drugs to your 13 year old kid, you would be the first one to call NYPD. Would love too see your reaction if NYPD simply ignored this dude and your child got hooked on smoking. In regards to line of duty, yes it's a big deal when you have two officers get executed in the middle of the day while sitting in their cruiser. Not sure how ignorant you have to be.

> Read what? I live in this neighborhood and grew up around here. Totally, absolutely, irrelevant. I don't need to live in your neighborhood to have an opinion. And just by geographical proximity your opinion doesn't get any magical powers. > You realize that Eric was selling cigarettes (no id) to high school kids for months right? ... (blah blah blah) It was not an arrestable offence. Selling "loosies" gets your a $100 fine, not an arrest. Read the laws. > If you want to claim that multiple officers that detained him over last few years were all targeting him and making up stories, just so they can force him to resist arrest, feel free. Strawman. You keep making up things in your head and then arguing against them. The crime was of selling loose cigs, not selling to children. It was a tax issue, plain and simple. This "selling to children" claim was tacked on later (oh please, won't anybody THINK of the children!!1!!11!). And BTW: I've lived in worse communities. Try the City of Buffalo, for instance.

  >I don't need to live in your neighborhood to have an opinion. A Nobody in the neighborhood needs your opinion. If you are going to comment on the community you were never a part of or a certain class you never been a part off, then be humble when you get corrected. > It was not an arrestable offence. Selling "loosies" gets your a $100 fine, not an arrest. Read the laws. Get off Wikipedia and stop pretending to know stuff, there is a clear pattern where you attempt to know everything. The fine has not been anywhere close to $100 in NYC for selling cigarettes for years now. This fine you are speaking about is also imposed on stores. Not people who are classified as drug dealers. Right now you get fined $1000 for failing to display warning label within your store. Selling to minors? You are looking for thousands of dollars of fines. Those fines go up 3/4x if you keep it up. This would have been arrest #3 for Eric. Which would likely would have resulted in heavy fines / jail time. > The crime was of selling loose cigs, not selling to children. It was a tax issue, plain and simple. What tax issue? He is selling loosies at profit. Taxes are already paid and the kids can't get those in bodegas anyways. If anything he was helping with your so called 'tax' issues. Majority of buyers are kids. Grown men won't pay 50% mark-up on something they can get in the store. Neither of your counter points hold any water, stick to bullshitting your friends. They don't know any better.
