NYPD Bills Family for Damage to Cop Car That Killed Their Son
In April 2012, Tamon Robinson was struck and killed by an NYPD police car after Robinson was allegedly caught stealing cobblestones from a public housing complex.
Six months later, Robinson’s mother says the city is ordering the family to pay $710 to pay for the damages on the very car that killed her 27-year-old son.
45-year-old Laverne Dobbinson told The Daily News, “We’re still grieving, and this is like a slap in the face. They want my son to pay for damage to the vehicle that killed him. It’s crazy.”
An attorney for the family filed an intent to sue the city and hopes to prevent the department from issuing any repairs to the vehicle as the case is still under investigation. “In my 40 years of practicing law in this city I have never seen anything as heartless as this,” the lawyer told The News, referring to the bill sent to Tamon’s family.
According to police, the car was stopped when Robinson ran into it. Witnesses, however, maintain the car hit Robinson directly.
A witness described the incident, claiming, “They hit him. He flew up and he came down. They backed the car up, and they told him to get up. People were yelling out their windows screaming at the cops, ‘We saw what you did.’ ”
Robinson was rushed to a nearby hospital where he fell into a coma. While unconscious, cops kept him handcuffed to the hospital bed. Six days later, he was declared brain dead and his family made the decision to take him off the respirator.
Rev. Al Sharpton held a rally in honor of Robinson and demanded an investigation, which is still in process, to look into any criminal wrongdoing in the young man’s death.
An NYPD spokesman declined to comment on the $710 bill.
did i misunderstand, or is the NYPD seriously claiming that a young man ran into a parked car and died?
THAT’S HORRIBLE WTF
My highlights from Fox News on Asexuality
“Asexuality has been around for thousands of years, it’s called being a woman once a month”
“They did a segment on asexuality on SNL…so they’ve been represented, definitely”
“They don’t have a sexual orientation so they’ll be treated as lepers; asexual lepers if you will”
“When you say you want to be represented, what do you want, like, the most boring beer commercials ever?”
“How are they being discriminated against in the first place? They have better focus, get more done, don’t have to worry about a myriad of things that ‘you sexual people’ have to worry about”
“When it gets to be that small a percentage of the population, do I really need to recognize you? Like, ‘oh, recognize me because i wear sock monkey hats!”
“I don’t trust them a bit, I don’t trust them at all *group laughter*”
Someone needs to tell Studio Mir to stop whitewashing.
Dan Savage continues to find new and exciting ways to be a douchebag
It’s exactly what the world has been clamoring for, right? “The Miracle Worker” done in drag. Well, maybe not. But the creative juices of Dan Savage can’t be denied, so “Miracle!” - yes, that’s miracle with an exclamation point - came to life for the very first time Saturday night at the Intiman Theatre. And at last, we can finally answer that age-old question “What if Helen Keller was a deaf and blind drag queen?”
This doesn’t HAVE to end horibly, does it?
As the audience walks in, there’s a giant written announcement up on stage that warns “this play will be deeply offensive to the deaf/blind community, so please don’t tell them. Keep your hands shut!”
Apparently yes, yes it does.
The first time we see Helen perform is one of the most- cringe worthy and funny bits you can expect to see on a Seattle stage all year. She can’t hear the music and she can’t see the stage, so you can imagine what her dance routine must be like. Or then again, maybe you can’t. Let’s just say, she has to wear a dog collar that zaps her whenever she gets too close to the edge of the stage.
Abusing people with disabilities: always hilarious.
Deafblind queers: apparently not a thing.
Dan Savage: fuck you.
help
waht the fuck
uh???
