>HARLEM (PIX11) — A Brooklyn man was arrested Tuesday after
>making a gun gesture with his cellphone at 2 NYPD officers in
>Manhattan in an attempt to show his friends “how easy it
>would be” to kill a cop.
>
>Police say 2 uniformed officers were stopped at a red light on
>West 125th Street in Harlem in a marked police car just before
>9 p.m. when a green 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer slowed to a
>stop next to them.
>
>The car didn’t pull up fully next to the police car, but
>idled near the rear of the passenger side.
>
>The 26-year-old cop at the wheel looked over his shoulder and
>saw the Chevy’s driver with his “arms extended before him,
>both hands clasped around an object that appeared to be a
>weapon, and was pointing it at the head of the cop closest to
>him in the police car’s front passenger seat,” according
>to police.
>
>The driver then made a shooting motion before driving away.
>
>“I absolutely thought we were dead,” the officer, who has
>been on the force for 3 years, said.
>
>When officers pulled the car over, they found Unique Johnson,
>the driver, along with 6 of his co-workers at an energy sales
>company.
>
>Johnson told officers the object he pointed at them was
>actually his iPhone in a dark blue case.
>
>When questioned, Johnson reportedly said he wanted to show how
>easy he thought it would be to shoot an on-duty cop.
>
>Johnson has been charged with menacing a police officer,
>harassment, disorderly conduct and aggravated unlicensed
>operator for driving with a suspended license.
>
>Since detectives Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were shot dead
>in their patrol car in Bed-Stuy last December, the NYPD has
>investigated 126 threats against cops in the city, resulting
>in nearly 30 arrests.
