He cooled that piece of shit down really fast.
A New York Police Department sergeant has been suspended without pay after
he threw a picnic cooler at a man, fatally knocking him from his
motorbike.
Eric Duprey was pronounced dead at the scene in Queens, according to a
news release from the New York Attorney General’s office, which has opened
an investigation into the incident.
“On the evening of August 23, in the vicinity of 2505 Aqueduct Avenue, an
NYPD officer threw a picnic cooler at Mr. Duprey, who was riding a
motorbike,” the releases stated. “The cooler hit Mr. Duprey and caused him
to fall on the ground. Mr. Duprey was pronounced dead at the scene.”
In a news release, the NYPD said Duprey had been attempting to flee from police. The statement also named the suspended sergeant as Erik Duran. CNN
has attempted to identify Duran’s legal representation for comment.
“The NYPD is committed to ensuring there will be a full, thorough, and transparent investigation of this incident to determine the facts and to
take the appropriate steps forward,” the release said.
A law enforcement official told CNN the incident began when Duprey was
trying to sell narcotics to a group of plainclothes officers in the Bronx
who were in the area for narcotics enforcement.
Police tried to arrest Duprey at the scene, but an individual brought him
a motorbike and he fled on the bike, the official said.
While he was riding on the sidewalk toward officers, Duran threw the
picnic cooler at Duprey’s head, causing him to smash into a tree, after
which he hit a car and the pavement, according to the law enforcement
official.
Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.
