Cops got there and decided to get him down by shooting tranquilizers at him. Taking the same force they used on Sean Bell when they shot a man on his wedding night 50 times (about 48 shots too excessive), they shot the poor little Raccoon so many times that he died in custody.
According to reports, the cops shot tranquilizer darts so many times and so deep to his body that the animal control people (who got there after this happened) had to euthanize the little one because as they said "it would have been difficult, if not impossible to remove them (the darts)".
Some witnesses said the NYPD reacted very un-humanely and said that some of the police officers even joked about "harpooning" the raccoon.
The NYPD was quoted with a response to the allegations by saying that the officers on site felt like the raccoon may be "Rabid" and were concerned it may have "rabies".
It is known that a raccoon hanging out in daylight is a sign of possibly having rabies. Hanging in a tree on the Upper East Side on the other hand, is a sign you may get shot to death.
R.I.P. little buddy.
