Man fleeing drug bust on scooter dies when undercover NYPD cop throws cooler at him: sources

Bruh you just said that there
I didn't sign up for that job, it's not my job to tell him what else he could've did. But I can say thay hitting someone in the head with an I've cooler while they are riding on a cooler with no helmet is probably not the best decision......

What happened to we've got his plates, it's too dangerous to chase, we'll track the bike down and get him later?
Bruh you just said that there were several other things that the officer could do. How can you come to that conclusion without even being able to suggest other courses of action to stop the escape? Literally the only thing that you suggested was to let him go and find him later.
 
Yes it's posted above. It's kind of blurry but it looks like he was waiting to throw the cooler, not the guy in the blue jersey(?) But he appears to be standing next to that guy and as the scooter approaches he hits the suspect right in the head....

Scooters don't have plates in NY

And again I ask - are we now saying that criminals doing dangerous shit to get away is cool becuase if it risks causing injury the cops should just let you go ???

Cops see a person don't have a helmet riding a bike after they did some shit they shouldn't try to stop them becuase it could risk that they might die ????

Wow the crazy this country has come to....

I'm talking about the risk to themselves and others......he lost control of the scooter and happened to hit a parked car, what if it was a car actually driving down the street?

My conclusion was not to kill the person suspected of a nonviolent crime...... how is that so absurd to understand? If this dude was robbing old ladies and brandishing a gin, so be it....

But to die over selling some nicks and dimes........? Come on mayne
 
Fuck them scooter bike dudes..they outta control in ny...
I partially agree here. The scooter thing in the city is so unregulated; no enforcement of safety gear requirements. Nobody wears a fucking helmet..

For clarity - I am not saying he deserved to die. But he did make the the choice to ride without a helmet.

One stat said, in NYC, excluding registered motorcycles, 75% of deaths on two wheels involve motorized devices. Most of these are traumatic head injuries.

Ok again he is doing risky shit by riding and speeding off He could easily have killed somebody just stepping out of their door or was standing on the sidewalk

The only person that died was him that he died over some mixing bags shouldn't be the cops fault it's completely and totally his fault he shouldn't just stayed there and got arrested

Instead he decided to run soBecause he decided to wear no helmet and ride on a scooter that's prone to fall over

The mere fact that you make a difference between him running and dying and you being OK if it was because he was robbing people versus he just had some nickels and bags .... That just shows the illogic of saying that the cop should be chasing you but only if it's worth it

And mind you the cop is chasing him on footAny made a move to stop him from fleeing on a scooter that could definitely hurt somebody if he hits them

The only thing that resulted from the cop's actions is that the guy who could have hurt other people only got himself her I don't see your problemThe only thing that resulted from the cop's actions is that the guy who could have hurt and killed other people by running only got himself killed

I don't see a problem
 
Whats the difference between hitting him with a stick or a plastic cooler ?? Becuase he is allowed to HIT YOU if you're fleeing

Oh and selling drugs causes people to die - plenty of the same drugs he was helping to sell cause people to OD becuase they cut the shit with Fentanyl or make the shit worse making Tranq

FOH with your whole ridiculous cop should have let him do dangerous shit to get away argument

Unfortunately you are conditioned to think cops have the right to put their hands on you just because they think any crime has been committed and you are wrong. It's the reason police brutality is such a problem in America. You keep bringing up these wild hypothetical that don't have shit to do with a cop throwing a cooler at a person riding a bike.

I'm of the opinion that the only time cops should be using potentially deadly force is when there is immediate proximate danger to the public or themselves. A guy riding a scooter away does not fit that. Take a picture use surveliance interview witnesses do some cop work take it to court and get a conviction. Hitting a guy with an object is not justice or proper law enforcement.
 
I don't see a problem
Obviously, however when he was fleeing he posed no eminent or extreme danger to himself, the public or police.......ie he was not waving a gun, he wasn't shooting flames from a device.....


There was no need to use a civilians personal property as a weapon against a person that was running away......

There wasn't, which is why the cop is suspended without pay. Hell if they shoot mfkrs down in the street the cops still typically get suspended with pay ......

He wasn't executed. He did something incredibly reckless and happened to die behind it. You make it sound like the cop shot him in the head. You're out of your mind if you think that the officer was trying to kill him.

No. I'm conditioned to not deal drugs .

I'm conditioned to to know if shit is a non violent offense if the coos catch me im not gonna do something stupid like run since I will get out in a few hours

Im.also conditioned to know to NOT ride a fucking scooter without a helmet or to NOT ride a scooter on the sidewalk thru pedestrians who could be hurt by me hitting them ( and falling on their heads and dying ).

The Cop didn't use lethal force - using lethal force is his using his gun - damn dude you sound stupid - the cop hit him - he is allowed to hit him - the cops can use hitting to arrest you -

Obviously, however when he was fleeing he posed no eminent or extreme danger to himself, the public or police.......ie he was not waving a gun, he wasn't shooting flames from a device.....

How does he not pose a threat to other peoples lives by speeding thru a sidewalk full of people??? Do you know how many people get hit here by dudes on scooters??? Do you realize that he is legally allowed to use physical force to stop someone fleeing? Dude was under arrest - he doesn't have a " right to flee" let alone a right to fleeing at any cost .

Intent does not matter when the result is death.

Manslaughter 1 and murder 1 can both get someone 20+ years.....so does the intent really matter then?

The action resulted in a death and it didn't have to.
 
For all the would haves, could haves and should haves he should not have been committing crimes. He should not have been ridding a scooter illegally on the sidewalk in attempts to evade arrest. He should have made better decisions in life. Hopefully his death will afford some brevity to others on the matter illegal activities.

Man
How about dont run over dumb petty shit - I dig you doing street life shit but at the end of the day running to avoid a ticket or getting grabbed up and choosing to do some stunt man leap to get away just never works out

Do you deserve to die for holding weight ? No

But a criminal doing criminal shit and dying from trying to escape being caught - fuk him no one should be paying for it. Make better choices.

Agreed. I'm here in NYC. I've been here since the 70's. I have no sympathy for narcotics dealers or reckless stunts that put folks lives in danger. Folks talk about drug dealing is a non-violent crime until one of their family or friends overdoses or gets killed by someone high out their mind.
 
Wait do if dude hit your mother or child running from the police then what ?? Sayi g he posed no danger is absolutely not true because he was riding on the sidewalk where people walk

As for WHY he was running (over a non violent offense ) well people die from doing shit that isn't significant-

drop your cellphone and die trying to get it - dumb way to die

Don't wear a helmet and fall while roller blading- dumb way to die

Drink 2 gallons of water in a short time period on a dare and die - dumb way to die

The rules about pursuing someone are for when the cops are in a CAR - not chasing you on foot

Granted they suspended him but as dude said thats more to mollify dummies that may wanna do other dumb shit who are upset a dummy got killed doing dumb shit

Are we really at a point to where becuase the police chase you for doing something ( be it minor or major ) that becuase that person gets themselves killed that we want coos to chose NOT to chase someone??

This is the craziest and dumbest fucking shit to see how dudes are actually thinking the cops did something wrong by chasing and hitting a dude fleeing that should be getting arrested.

He didn't shoot the guy -

he did what he was allowed to do and hit him -the same as if he tazed the guy and the same shit have happened ( hit his head by falling to ground )

The fact that dudes are just like let him.get away because he is running and it risks the possibility that he could die - well fuck all why even complain about police not being proactive??? Cop just stood there and lt him run becuase its not a major offense and he hits you mother or your child then you get upset right??
What if the cop hitting him with the cooler cause dude bike to slam into your family members killing them would you be happy with the cops decision or would you rather the cops let him go and use the fact that they know the guys identity and can make an arrest later on without harming anyone go down

How you know he wasn’t selling weed.. there’s a bunch of people who smoke weed here.. them drugs didn’t get in your hand by themselves

Throw a cooler at some people riding motorcycles and let’s see what happens and what charges ull get… u’ll get manslaughter charges or murder.. no judge will allow you to say I wasn’t trying to kill anybody throwing coolers at their head while riding their fast vechiles

Running for weed? If he was running for weed in NYC he was stupid stacked on idiot wrapped with retarded. Ain't nobody running for weed in NYC unless they're criminals with existing records. Either way I say good for his dumb ass.

You on a messageboard full of illegal downloads .. should a cop be able to throw a water cooler at your head while driving and kill you for it.. don’t worry some citizen would say you should make better decisions and pay for your material instead of illegal downloading
 
Running for weed? If her was running for weed in NYC he was stupid stacked on idiot wrapped with retarded. Ain't nobody running for weed in NYC unless they're criminals with existing records. Either way I say good for his dumb ass.
Who the fuck wants to get arrested. If you have weight you still can go to jail .. selling weed is still illegal
 
If someone doesn't want to get arrested they shouldn't do crime.
So you willing to accept a water cooler being thrown at your head and getting arrested being affiliated with a messageboard full of stolen material? You are an accessory and crime affiliate of a internet syndicate of illegal downloaded material

Fuck that retarded ass what if. That asshole died doing dumb shit. Fuck that fool and his supporters. Eric Garner, was choked to death for allegedly selling loose cigarettes. Meanwhile Daniel Pantaleo, made 6 figures for 5 more years before he was fired for killing a man with an illegal hold. That cop still ain't been convicted or indicted of murder. There is far too much real crime to waste time on what ifs. Like I said before if folks don't want to get arrested don't do crime.

It’s not a what if..you are committing a crime being affiliated with this message board.. you claim you hate criminals yet you commit crimes yourself. You don’t see what you doing as wrong cause it benefits yourself and no cops are throwing water coolers at your head as of now cause of it. Kettles never have a problem calling a teapot black but never want to admit that their features are also dark. A crime is a crime whether acceptable or not. You either all in or out with which side you on. Hopefully no cop throws a cooler at your head for doing a nonviolent offense such as posting and downloading porn, movies, music, programs, etc

If police come to your or my house to arrest us for being here doing what we do and we decide to jump on a scooter with no helmet and race down the sidewalk in daytime and get hurt or die. We'd be just as dumb as that dead retard.
 
For those of you who are not familiar with NYC. Throughout the 5 boroughs that make up NYC, there are plenty of weed stores. Not to be confused with Medicinal Marijuana Dispensaries requiring a Medical Marijuana card. None the less business is good. Often times there are people outside those businesses leaching traffic to peddle their own weed. You can walk down the street smoking a big ass spliff and police won't bother you for smoking weed. Anywhere you can smoke cigarettes you can smoke weed unless a notice is posted stating otherwise. Some of the weed shops I go to are on the same street or avenue as a police precinct. Suffice to say most folks are not taking flight from law enforcement because they have marijuana.

If you're gonna make a comparison make one that actually matches

The police aren't you or me a regular person they have the power to detain and arrest you ...so throwing a cooler at someone for no reason or for even some reason means you'd have to explain why you did it.

He didnt get a cooler thrown at him for no reason - the cop threw it at him to try to stop him from fleeing for dealing drugs ( not weed since weed is legal here in NY and for weight you'd have to have about a hundred pounds to get to even the lowest felony which STILL would mean you're walking out of the precinct in hours )

He wasn't just riding his scooter not doing anything - he was riding his scooter to flee a lawful arrest - he was riding his scooter and could very likely injure someone becuase he was riding on the sidewalk that had people on it. Again you seem to say it's ok for him to risk knocking down people so that they can hit their head on the sidewalk but if he gets knocked down its a terrible thing

again it would be STUPID to run on having weed since all weed is here in NYC is a ticket - fighting in the streets is a ticket - breaking into someone's car is a ticket - ANYTHING that is a misdemeanor grabbing a titty , spitting on someone , stealing all the Tide pods is a ticket and you are out in a few hours.

Maybe you're so tall that the air up there is thin so you don't think so well or maybe you just like criminal niggas getting away with doing criminal shit

I'm sorry but hes a fucking drug dealer and he fell and died doing dumb shit that he should have made a better life choice to do which is just take his arrest - does he deserve to die ? No but his dying is no loss since he was a fucking scumbag that made the neighborhood shitty and enabled people destroying their lives ( or ending their lives ) with the drugs he was selling

Truth be told for his part in dealing it doesn't bother me one bit if he fell and just wound up paralyzed or a fucked up in pain for the rest of his life ..


Its instant Karma as far as I'm concerned that he fell and died for all the times he dealt that shit and fucked up peoples life so that they are dying slow.

I am A Ok with a cop punching him or kicking him or knocking his ass off a scooter with a elephant since he is a criminal and a useless piece of drug dealing shit

But thats just me

All in all - the cop only hurt the person who didn't give a fuck about who he was hurting or could hurt...or kill

Far as I'm concerned - give him a talking to - and put him back to work

I guess you don't have the experience of being black in America. News Flash you ain't always guilty when the police fuck with you. You ain't always guilty with the police chase you. Police do not have the right to restrict your freedom just because they "think" you did something wrong. Fleeing from the police does not give them the right to use deadly force to arrest you. These are your rights in America.

Now if you want to give those rights to the overseer so he can knock your black ass in the head every time he feels you are threat to his safety go right ahead but with all the deaths we have scene in our lifetime by police to innocent black people you think you would by wise enough to know who side you are on. But no you would probably be standing next to George Floyd saying see you shouldn't have had a suspended license.

People who work for the government have MORE of a responsibility to the public then the public. There actions are held to an even higher standard. In this country with it's history do you really hate crime more than you love your people? If so that's very sad.

And again they didn't use "deadly force" on him - the cop hit him -

What killed him was gravity and physics - and the fact he wasn't wearing a helmet

they didnt THINK he did a crime he actually DID a fucking crime - he was dealing drugs and had the shit on him so yeh the police absolutely DO have the right to restrict his freedom and hit him to arrest him.if he is attempting to not get arrested

Bringing up people who have been wrongfully accused or innocent and killed is no comparison since he was neither wrongfully accused nor was he innocent AND in fleeing he was commmiting an additional crimes by risking other peoples lives to get away ....wtf?!?

Do I hate crime more than I love my people ? Fuck yes ! Why the fuck would I value a thief or a drug dealer or a fucking shooter the same way or as as much as a doctor or shopkeeper or construction worker becuase they are black???

Get the entire fuck out of here with that bullshit - romanticizing or excusing criminality and doing dumb shit as somehow balancing out the scales or white institutionalized racism

that is about as fucking stupid a way of thinking as overlooking someone lying becuase its not a lie that hurts you....

Bruh you are delusional.

Tell you what when a street nigga run over someone you care about show all the compassion you preaching now to them because they have brown skin ....


The fact that dudes are caping for this Dominican kid who got killed by a Dominican cop as somehow unjust because of the treatment of black people when dudes are the first to say fuck a Dominican when they have a problem.or a issue or claim being like black people is already layers of fucking contradiction deep...especially here

you can not sell weed.. smoking weed is legal in nyc in certain areas, you can carry up to 2 ounces without receiving a tix.. but it is still illegal to sell weed.. yes you can still go to jail if you are selling weed and have a large amount of weed on you.. if you think you can’t get arrested go to a corner and have 2 pounds of weed and openly sell it and see what happens.. in fact if you are in certain locations like near a school, park, you definitely could get hit with a few diff charges.. nigs don’t know the laws or simply can’t comprehend it.. so yes he could’ve been selling weight and than an officer tried to apprehend him and than another cop killed him. Cops actually stop trying to chase dudes on bikes due to many accidents and potential risk that exist when pursuing people on bikes.. that’s why so many individuals were riding motorcycles without a care in the world cause certain protocols exist. So know the history, know the laws, b4 commenting on a subject you seem to not know about. Like I said there’s a reason why he’s suspended without pay.. the keyword is without pay which means even the police department know that cop is in the wrong and possible pending charges may occur.. let a protest happen and watch how quickly that cop might get hit with charges
 

Death of scooter-riding suspect — who died after undercover NYPD sergeant threw cooler at him — ruled homicide​

MORE ON:NYPD

The death of a scooter-riding drug suspect — who crashed after an undercover NYPD sergeant threw a cooler at him in the Bronx — has been ruled a homicide, officials said Friday.
Eric Duprey, 30, died from “blunt force injuries of the head,” which he sustained Wednesday while fleeing a drug bust on Aqueduct Avenue near West 190th Street in Kingsbridge Heights, a spokesperson for the city medical examiner confirmed.
Duprey took off during a buy-and-bust operation conducted by the sergeant, Erik Duran, and was driving his scooter erratically on the street and sidewalk, sources have said.
During the escape attempt, Duran — who has since been suspended without pay — chucked a cooler at Duprey, striking him in the head from close range, according to surveillance footage of the incident.
After being hit, Duprey lost control and crashed into a parked car.
He suffered trauma to his body and was pronounced dead by EMS workers at the site of the crash.
The medical examiner ruled his death a homicide. Sources told The Post Duprey’s fatal injuries were caused by the crash.
Police said Duprey was running from cops after he sold drugs to the undercover officer.
Duprey’s mother, however, said the allegations were “all lies.”

“He wasn’t fleeing. He wasn’t fleeing. He was just on the motorcycle talking to me on the video chat. And he passed by that place when all of a sudden the call cut out,” Gretchen Soto told The Associated Press in Spanish.
Soto maintained her son’s innocence.
Duprey, a father of three young children under the age of 10, worked with the city’s Parks Department before taking a job as an Uber Eats driver.
“They left three fatherless babies,” Soto said. “I’m going to get justice.”

Erik Duran struck Eric Duprey with a cooler as he attempted to flee a drug bust operation.
Despite his mother’s claims he wasn’t involved in a drug deal, Duprey has a previous arrest for a narcotics case from March, police sources said.
He also has an open felony assault case in the Bronx from June 2022 for allegedly throwing a two-liter bottle of soda through someone’s driver-side window.
The NYPD’s Force Investigation Division and State Attorney General’s Office are investigating the actions of Duran, a 13-year veteran of the force.

The Bronx Narcotics Unit member has been recognized by the department dozens of times for what it deems excellent and meritorious police service, according to a police personnel database.
He does, however, have a substantiated complaint on record from last year for abusing his authority during a stop, according to the city’s Civilian Complaint Review Board.
The NYPD sent out an internal memo to the department warning officers that Duprey’s death could spark a strong public reaction and “unrest.”
The notice advised officers to remind colleagues to keep their helmets and batons in their police cruisers and to set up barricades, especially at historic locations.
 
I don't get this suspension without pay angle that people are talking about. New York City departments don't suspend you with pay. They put you on modified duty. Also they can suspend you for damn near anything whether it's right or wrong. I've seen people that were 100% in the right get suspended then go to a departmental hearing and beat the suspension and get their money back.
