The Local blog has the report on an undercover operation gone tragically wrong in Clinton Hill…Evidently an undercover cop sitting on the stoop at 370 Lafayette Avenue was attacked by a resident of the building who was angry at his presence on the stoop. One thing led to another and the resident was shot. Check The Local for more details. Update: The Daily News is reporting that the fight started because the policeman had an earpiece in that prevented him from hearing the resident, and ex-con, giving an initial command to get off his stoop; the resident then followed up with a kick to the back of the head and a punch in the face.
This has a lot to do with real estate, if you were a prospective home buyer you know not to move to that shitty block regardes of how “up and coming” Corcoran calls it.
Or maybe you want to if you’re looking to score some crack and now you know where to cop.
Keep up the good work Brownstoner,
Brownstoner, I’m confused. Just 3 days ago someone posted an incident about rude cops drawing their guns on him and his dog. We all chipped in about can potentially go wrong when rude and arrogant cops with guns confront the public, something many (non-home owning) Brooklynites can relate to.
You took the post down and reminded us kids to basically stick to Real Estate as per your post below.

Using your own logic – I ask you respectfully. What does this have to do with Real Estate??
obama promised me hope and change, all we have is more black on black crime, why dont we make Dinkins our mayor again, this city needs another 2600 murders and a good douching.
I’m am incredibly saddened by this!
Mr. Walker was only trying to get young men he probably figured were drug dealers off his stoop. Why or WHY couldn’t these stupid cops have “fled the scene” if they were really trying not to “blow there cover”????!!!
This is a travesty!!!
Black people are simply targets to cops who think like slick/Xander Crews.
yo slick/xander. maybe you can go half on a white sheet. fools.
hey xander and slick, maybe you can share a bus out of town. redneck fools.
Stuff like this needs to happen more often to make this city a safer place to live.
Slick, if you believe that an unarmed Black man in Brooklyn tried to wrestle a drawn gun away from a known cop or suspected drug dealer, I’d like to talk to you about a bridge I am selling.
