The Mean Streets of NYC

So I’ve been somewhat following one of the random stories on the news and there’s so much going on in this oneI can’t even process it all. Here’s the story:

“The crackling burst of violence occurred after Nuñez swiped a student MetroCard, setting off an alarm in the token booth on the upper level where Abrahall was stationed, authorities said.
Abrahall radioed Maass and Farina about the fare-beater, and the two cops grabbed Nuñez and got one handcuff on him. He immediately began to struggle, and knocked them to the ground.
In the scuffle, a source said, Maass' gun fell to the platform and Nuñez grabbed it. He then stood over the two cops and fired two pointblank shots at them, a source said.
Racing from the bloodshed, Nuñez headed up an escalator, turning back to fire another shot at the wounded cops. But Abrahall was waiting at the top. Though Nuñez fired three times at the lieutenant, he missed, and Abrahall hit Nuñez four times.
Later in custody, another source said, Nuñez, who sneaked back into the United State after he was deported to his native Dominican Republic in 2001 for a 1997 drug conviction, "indicated that he was afraid of being deported. He had been deported once before and he was afraid of going back."” – New York Post

Daaaaaaamn. It is THAT deep huh. First of all there are TONS of issues to discuss with this whole situation. Here are a few of my million thoughts and concerns in no particular order:

1. Dude…a student metrocard?? Why are cops standing around in train stations looking out for people misusing student metrocards? Is it me or does it seem like there are bigger fish to fry in this city? Damn and you get arrested for that? I thought they just wrote up a ticket or something. That's news to me.

2. My friend…did you REALLY have to go there? You grabbed the cop’s gun and shot both of them then ran away WITH the gun and turned around and shot at them again THEN you shot at the cop that was waiting at the top of the stairs? What crazy action movie did you think you were a part of? And did you not ONCE think…hmmm now I’m about to be in DEEP sh!t?

3. Things must be reeeeal hard for deportees in DR cause this isn’t the first time I hear about people getting deported and sneaking back in. From what I hear once they get to DR they are basically treated like animals, they get abused, get outcasted and can’t get jobs or move on with their lives so that’s what makes them try to come back.

4. I really do hope the two cops recover…but aside from that…one of the cops dropped his gun and got shot with it?!?! What Police Academy sequel was HE a part of?? This is straight out of a wacky movie script. I wish him recovery from his wounds but recovery from the constant teasing he’ll get after that by fellow cop jocks…not so much.

5. THREE cops vs ONE guy? What was he the incredible hulk?? Gotta be all them platanos!! Lol

6. “…sneaked back into the United State…” Really? You couldn’t spell check? Well you ARE the New York Post…I mean even public school teachers don’t want their students using you for their current events assignments so I take that back…as you were.
