We have to separate rabid animals from society, one way or another. NYC needs an adult mayor ASAP.

Is 24k worth spending your life in prison, I don't understand these guys, why not just get a job...24k is not life-changing money, it may hold you for a while but that's it, and then you a cop.. how stupid can one be... he's done

An unarmed citizen buyer would be dead. The cop and relative are alive because they were able to defend themselves with the police issued gun and fend off the robber.

The NYPD should use this same manpower and determination to solve every murder in NYC! The medical decision they have to make is to decide to unplug the officer from life support machine and decide if they want to donate his organs.

Not too smart of a move to be carrying that amount of cash to meet a complete stranger at night, I mean that's what zelle and union square at noon is for! I've sold and bought lots of stuff, and those are my terms for every transaction! I've never had a problem!

Why would a police officer buy a used car from FB marketplace at 7pm in Bklyn? Sounds suspicious! I pray him and his "relative" are ok.
