You’re saying that the Police chose to simply kill the man because he committed a misdemeanor? Again, is that really what happened? Kind of thought there was an element of resisting arrest for a crime that had been observed.
Or are you saying that if I’m caught committing a misdemeanor I can tell the Police Officer to bug off. That I’ve chosen to follow whatever laws I wish and whether or not there should be consequences. Got it.
I don’t know what the NYC laws are in this, but is selling cigarettes without a license a felony or is it a misdemeanor?
