Why are people saying it’s a stolen car? Is it so hard to believe that someone in Sunnyside can own this car?

Thanks for not reporting him, until now, idiot. If you personally know him, you must be either dealing with him or his supplier.

The police chase actually happened around 8:45 dude blew through the parking area under the 7 going more than 60mph trying to evade police. Car is always parked around the park on Greenpoint Ave, wouldn’t be suprised if he was dealing.

If cops can catch this guy, then I don’t know what else to tell you. Also how could they know if the suspect was armed or not, seriously…

Yep. Sounds about right. But who gives a crap about street safety when precious parking spaces are in question?
