What bothers me about this case is that the man was going to be arrested for selling an untaxed cigarette. WTF??
And Police Commissioner Bratton just said to the media that the NYPD will continue to enforce the "quality of life" statutes (which have always been enforced on a very irregular basis anyway) with no changes.
Why was the man arrested? Wouldn't a simple ticket do? So instead, you have several police officers subduing a huge man - who ultimately dies from a heart attack - and all over a cigarette.
What foolish stupidity.
