April 18, 2015, 1:58am, St. Marks Place in the East Village, NYC. No idea, two men get involved in an altercation, an unmarked police car pulls over, but the plainclothes cops decide this dispute is not worth the time. The block where this dispute took place is located on the east side of Third Ave, between st. Marks place, and E. 9th St.

Right outside Continental. These must be the "REGULARS are respectful of the neighborhood" crowd Scooby was talking about.

That altercation was less of a fight and more of a standoff where a very serious fight could have started. Cool a cop came quickly. Most of the drunk ev "fights" I see are a bunch of crap talking over bs, a sucker punch followed by being very content the fight is immediately broken up. Followed up with more crap talking about what could have happened. Both sides of the coin are crap and unacceptable. Fools are fools.

its the gestapomobile for the undercover pigs! Can't tell if its the same pig, but last weekend one driving this gestapomoobile whipped around 4th St and up 1st through the bike lane, almost taking out several people, in order to help like 8 cops on the corner of 6th arrest a single young woman. The so called cop driver gloated to an onlooker about his driving and at that moment I saw some very glazed and heavy lidded eyes.
