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?
