CITY COUNCILMAN GOES OFF ON COPS

by Bob Walsh

Omari Shakur is a City Councilman-At-Large in the teeming metropolis of the City Of Newburgh, New York. The councilman's son was shot to death by city cops in 2006. Shakur was elected last November.

The incident started when a detective blew his horn at Shakur, who was parked in the roadway when there were several open parking spaces available. When Shakur refused to move his car, which was "parked" the wrong way on the road, an altercation started. Detectives do not wear body cams so there is no recording of the situation before a uniformed officer arrived.

Shakur allegedly stated, "I'm your fucking boss" among other things. He was allegedly visiting a constituent at the time.

Nothing like having an enemy on city council.
