Man Dies After Beating by Swarm of ATV and Dirt Bike Riders

Police investigators are seeking suspects in a homicide weeks after a 45-year-old man was beaten by about 30 people on ATVs and dirt bikes on East 125th Street in East Harlem, the police said on Wednesday.

The man, whom police identified as Arthur Cooke, was driving east at around 10 p.m. on Nov. 4 when someone in the group struck the passenger-side mirror on his vehicle, the Police Department said. When he got out to inspect the damage, riders began beating him. One of the people brandished a firearm at Mr. Cooke during the assault, the police said.

Mr. Cooke was taken to NYC Health & Hospitals/Harlem, where he was pronounced dead on Nov. 18 from blunt force trauma to his neck and spine, according to the department.

The police said another man, who they didn’t believe was with the riders, drove Mr. Cooke’s vehicle away from the scene.

Dirt bikes and ATVs are illegal in the city, but the city has been grappling for years with the vehicles. Avenues and streets throughout Manhattan are periodically taken over by swarms of riders popping wheelies, performing stunts and videotaping themselves amid a deafening roar.

The takeovers sometime devolve into violence. In March, a group of dirt bikers dragged a man and his adult son out of their car in Harlem and beat them after the driver accidentally hit one of the bikers.

And in 2013, after a chase ended in the beating of an S.U.V. driver, residents in communities in Harlem, the Bronx, Washington Heights and Inwood began voicing frustrations that the city was ignoring the dangers posed by groups driving the illegal vehicles.
Last year, after several episodes of violence from such groups, the city began cracking down, and a lawmaker proposed legislation to increase fines for those operating the vehicles.

In June, Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell announced that the city was ramping up the fight to remove the vehicles from the streets. The Police Department had confiscated over 2,000 ATVs and dirt bikes citywide, Commissioner Sewell said, about 80 percent more than during the same time in 2021.

“They are not only a nuisance and an annoyance to us, but they’re extremely dangerous,” Mr. Adams said at the time.
The city is towing any illegal vehicles that officers find parked and stopping any that they see, according to the Police Department. So far this year, over 30,000 moving violations have been issued, 3,000 motorcycles, including dirt bikes and ATVs, have been towed and over 9,000 dirt bikes and ATVs have been seized.

“The individuals who ride these vehicles illegally have no regard for traffic laws or public safety,” said Mr. Adams in a statement on Wednesday. “We will continue to target and crush these unauthorized and dangerous vehicles that do nothing more than terrorize our neighborhoods.”

Mr. Cooke, the victim of the most recent violence, lived in Harlem and had worked as a case manager and court advocate in the Alternatives to Incarceration program at Exodus Transitional Communities Inc. since July of 2021. He had a son, according to the group.
In the organization’s annual report last year, Mr. Cooke, who had spent time in prison, said he wanted to be “a part of the solution as opposed to a part of the problem.”

He was employed by Exodus after meeting with staff members to find help re-entering the work force. Julio Medina, the organization’s founder and executive director, said in a statement on Wednesday that Mr. Cooke’s death had left its community “devastated.”

“We watched as his mind-set shifted from one of hopelessness since serving his sentence to one of hope and aspirations, and he was always helping his participants do the same,” Mr. Medina said.

On Wednesday afternoon, in front of Mr. Cooke’s apartment, neighbors recalled a man they called respectful and polite.
“He was a light stepper, gentle giant,” said Sheryl Burnell. “Nothing about his behavior ever exhibited, you know, like aggressive, overly aggressive or whatever that you would think would spark or start that type of altercation.”

As street vendors set up their businesses along a bustling 125th Street in East Harlem and shoppers hunted for deals, a couple of electric bikes zipped through the streets.

Tony Wilson, 61, said that he saw dirt bikes and ATVs riding back and forth on 125th Street often, “like they don’t have nowhere to go.”
“It’s just showing off, popping wheelies and that’s it,” Mr. Wilson said. “Eric Adams needs to hurry up and get all those bikes,” he added.
Fatouma Koné, 25, who has lived in Harlem her whole life, echoed Mr. Wilson, saying riders are mainly trying to make a splash on social media and build their reputations.

“They’ve gotten braver,” she said. “Like they don’t care about the cops being on site.”

This is about the 3rd time this year this shit happened in the motherfucking World. This is savageish Brooklyn or Bronx behavior.

Message to minority women across New York City........

"If one of these people are your motherfucking kids, I have no problem killing your niggery children. I am about Black on whoever crime."

I am squeezing first and claiming I was scared and terrified to the grand jury, because I rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
 
Either a cop or a armed citizen going to put some hot ones in one or a few of these kats in the near future. Beat one of them filmed it :smh:
 
You should be worried.... if there ever is one.... Republicacs will make sure that you and your Tranny lovers are at the top of the "Got to go" list
:itsawrap:

Word up, because if there were ever a so-called purge, in reality, it would be a black massacre that racist white militia groups would use to galvanize other white folks into coming together to defend their hoods while deploying units to attack urban cities where blacks live. Meanwhile, in those hoods, folks would not only have to worry about organized units attacking but, also coon gangsters who will use the opportunity to rob, hurt and maim, similar to the double edge sword attack most black have to face vs racist cops and the coon gangsters.
