Report: Cops Grab Man on Bedford Ave, Search Pockets, Grab Pen
A Williamsboard user posted yesterday evening that a police officer grabbed him from behind while he was walking down Bedford Avenue & stuck his hands directly into the man’s pockets in search of something far more sinister than what was found.
Im walking down bedford avenue today with a friend of mine, and all of a sudden I feel someone grab the hood of my hoodie and pull me back. initially I thought it would be a friend. middle of the day, bedford ave, etc. turns out its the man. I turn around and he immediately reaches into my front pocket and says “oh, thats just a pen. theres been some robberies around here lately”. I dont say anything, we both turn and go our different ways.
what the fuck?
What the fuck indeed, assuming “the man” is a reference to the NYPD and not this guy or this guy. We’re pretty sure that’s illegal search and seizure, but here’s the full thread if you’d like to offer up your nonprofessional opinion.
A cop sticks his hands in your innocent pockets, and you turn and walk away!? Hah! The willyburg phenomena still surprises me. I saw a man in a dress exercising his rights with more balls than this harassed bitch in a hoodie!
the bashing of innocent people instead of trash talking the retard racist unlawful pig fucks of nyc phenomena. so surprising.
Yea that’s such bullshit! They stopped me on Graham and Montrose because I was riding my bike and pulled up on the wheel chair ramp on the corner and got off of my bike about 5 ft onto the curb. No one was around me at all. So they stop me and say “Oh theres been some robberies of a guy fitting your description” and searched my belongings. After finding nothing they give me a ticket for riding my bike on the sidewalk and then dismiss it before it goes to court. These Oinkers are getting out of control!
+1 on the above comment.
what right does this guy have to ask “what the fuck?” if hes not willing to DO anything about this? bitching on a message board ain’t shit if you can’t even be bothered to get the guy’s badge number.
