This guy was stealing from a cemetery.

And that means exactly what?

Just saying. There’s always two sides. The Post never mentioned the letter being revoked and all that.

An NYPD spokesman did not return a call or email seeking comment.

Too busy with the Polanco homicide.

"Stealing paving stones is a reason to be run down and killed? Really? arrested.

Fixed it. Now if you accidently kill yourself fleeing from police whose fault is that?

No. The police did not intentionally try to run down and kill this person because he was stealing some pavement stones. But running from the police during a robbery is not a good idea. It can lead to unforeseen circumstances such as getting run down by a police car.

That he may be stealing because he doesn't have anything.

Yes,there are two sides.If,by chance,the cop was wrong about the dead guy having been stealing then all bets are clearly off.If the cop acted in a wildly irresponsible fashion by chasing the guy that,too,would paint a different picture.But,for example,take that case in Midtown Manhattan a few weeks ago where a guy murdered his boss,was chased by the cops and shot dead.Several innocent civilians were hurt in that police gunfire.Under the law,the dead guy is responsible for the injuries suffered by innocent civilians.Same here...the guy stole...the cops tried to detain him...he fled...they chased...the cop car was damaged.The dead guy's responsible for that damage under the law.

Or that he had found that kind of theft to be lucrative and was making a decent "living".

I don’t understand why a woman is held liable for damage done by her adult son. If he were a minor, I’d get it.

never mind, I read the other comments, I see now that it would be his estate, if any, that owes. Which makes fiscal sense.

It was about the letter that was rescinded. The Post never mentioned that. I’m thinking The Post just wanted to incite outrage. Sells papers.

The deceased had at least $700 worth of paving stones and a couple of bricks as his estate. The city street dept., the police, the tax men, the lawyers, the hospital, the ambulance service, the doctors, the funeral home, the florist, all are trying to figure how to divide the estate.

What's up with this?

In a made-for-movie twist, on the day of Robinson’s funeral, cops broke down the door of the family’s apartment — and later acknowledged they had executed a search warrant at the wrong location.

I understand that. But there was no allegation she’d violated creditor rights or that the city had filled a claim in probate.

The second story makes sense. The first was blarney.

See post #34. Doesn’t that seem like a very bizarre coincidence?

Didn’t the old Soviets charge the families for the cost of the bullet used to execute their family members?
Unreal.

Indeed.

It really doesn’t look good for the officers with the apparent retaliation (”Wrong house” raid). But government employees really don’t think about how such blatant criminal corruption causes them to lose supporters and sympathy.

“The State will not tolerate anything but immediate and quiet compliance, Citizen. You must be punished.”

The raid wasn’t an “accident”.

Simple harassment.
