COPS KILL THUG IN PAROLE OFFICE

A convicted rapist waiting to meet his parole officer in Queens was shot dead yesterday after pulling a knife during a random search, police said.

Eric Reid, 50, was in the waiting room of the state Division of Parole office on Merrick Boulevard in Jamaica at around 10 a.m. when officers announced they were randomly checking people’s bags, police said.

An officer spotted Reid attempting to hide a knife.

When the officer confronted him, Reid brandished the knife.

Two other officers opened fire, shooting Reid in the groin and head. He was declared dead at the scene.
