More Good Cops: Woman Jailed For Calling City Too Many Times To Report Drug Dealers

The NYPD is famous for their “if you see something, say something” policy. But a Bronx woman, 67, says she was punished by New York cops for reporting drug dealers in her neighborhood.

After Arles Cepeda, who lives in Castle Hill Houses, called the NYC “311” line “too many times” to report drug dealers, she was arrested and locked behind bars. Now she says she will file a federal lawsuit against the NYPD.

They threatened her with being put in an institution as well as arresting her.


When is enough enough with these fucking pigs?

Look at all those black people they stop&frisk! How could there possibly be drug-dealers around?

When the group that defends murdering someone accused of selling a loosey doesn't respond to calls about drug dealers, then you can bet they're on the take.
