An NYPD sergeant was charged Tuesday with second-degree manslaughter in the August death of a scooter-riding drug suspect who crashed after the cop threw a cooler at him.
Sgt. Erik Duran, 36, pleaded not guilty to that charge — which carries a potential maximum sentence of 25 years in prison — as well as assault in the first and second degrees and criminally negligent homicide for the death of Eric Duprey, 30, on Aug. 23, 2023, in The Bronx.
Duran was conducting a buy-and-bust operation on Aqueduct Avenue near West 190th Street around 5 p.m. in Kingsbridge Heights when Duprey took off on a motorized scooter, said New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office, which is handling the prosecution.

As if NYC didn’t have reasons enough to be set ablaze!
Prayers up for this Officer.
The Charge?
Assault with a deadly Water Cooler.
Didn’t Crocodile Dundee stop a bad guy like that with a can?
Someone smarter than me should post that GIF.
Time for blue flu. Or just walk away and tell the politicians to take care it.
Aquaduct and W.190th are close to Fordham University in the Bronx.
I doubt that drug dealer was selling his drugs to the suburban kids attending Fordham.
The area is about 66% hispanic and 33% black. Once again proves the Democrats/Left are happy to keep them poor, stupid and addicted.
Cop should be getting a medal.
Letitia James again, the same racist, anti-American **** who is persecuting PDJT.
New York City politicians are all solid dog squeeze.
Sometimes this is necessary to avoid a civil suit.
Stopping criminals seems to be a crime in New York.
And on Aquaduct Avenue!
“This indictment sends a clear message to society and every law enforcement officer in the state,” John D’Alessandro, one of Duran’s lawyers, said in a statement after the hearing. “In today’s New York, the streets belong to the criminals.”
His hurling aim must have been right on target.
Must have put a spin on it.
Cop Kills Suspect With A Cooler!
There are two other unusual events in the video also.
Nope. It knocked him off his motor bike and he fell, face first, into a parked car, killing him.
Makes perfect sense (/s), hang a cop out to dry while putting his life on the line when all the way over on the other coast, you can stab someone over 100 times and get released and only get community service. Evil is spreading faster and faster.
It should be a simple matter tp determine if he is "actually" dead.
