Two stores down is a mom and pop grocery store. They sell cigarettes. Most likely they are the ones who complained.

There's a mom and pop store everywhere on Staten Island, from the looks of it.

Sounds like the cops made it up after the fact, as is their wont. The guy who testified before the grand jury said that he was across the street in the park with Officer Pairapanties, watching Garner break up a fight. He thought Pairapanties was going to collar the two fighters, who were skedaddling, but Pairapanties went after Garner instead.

You can hear Garner's buddy, who was filming, keep saying that Garner was breaking up a fight.

I think Union Boy was going to teach the peasant a lesson, knew who he was from past experience, and gigged him for an imaginary violation.

Show me the cigarettes. Or did the cops have some throw-down "loosies"...? LOL! :)

202 Bay Street is Wig Zone. Two stores to the right, number 198 is the K&A Grocery Store which is a mom and pop grocery store that plays by the rules and sells cigarettes. Their awning starts out by listing "Candy * Cigarettes * Cigars".

Google "198 Bay St, Staten Island, NY" and zoom in on the Street View. You'll see a fat guy standing there with what looks like a loosie in his left hand.

What are the odds that on the random day Google Earth drives by...
