PO Aziz Took on the Shooter Outside 7 Eleven Earlier This Month

Last week, we all heard about the incident that happened outside of the 7 Eleven next to the 68th Precinct. Two men in their twenties had a conflict while driving on 4th Avenue that ended with one of the men being shot in the butt. (Story here)

The Precinct didn’t tell share how Police Officer Aziz’s swift actions took down the shooter!

Senator Andrew Gounardes and Councilman Justin Brannan both knew and didn’t share this information with the community. Gounardes has honored people for doing far less. Brannan didn’t share this heroinism on social media or honor the officer in a press release to the paper. The politician’s jobs are to act as liaisons between the precinct and community.

Captain Tolson told the community about the incident when he was asked about it by a resident (he didn’t offer it at the start of the meeting). Tolson said that when the commotion started on April 4th, Police Officer Aziz ran out of the 68th Precinct, confronted the shooter and held him at gunpoint. His swift actions are the reason Jose Ochoa was immediately arrested.

Police Officer Aziz will be honored as the Officer of the Month this month. (I hope I spelled his name correctly.)

In a time when politicians want to use the words, “Defunding the Police,” the precinct’s social media posters should be sharing stories of officers who are doing what they love and protecting this community.
