   It’s better to be lucky than good.   
      
   A Bronx man arrested twice for gun possession and potentially   
   facing years behind bars escaped the long arm of the law twice,   
   the Daily News has learned.   
      
   Ebrima Faal’s arresting officers in one bust was shot to death   
   two months later in a tragic case of friendly fire. And the cop   
   who claimed to catch him with a gun in the other case went on to   
   be arrested for child porn.   
      
   When both cases were tossed out last week because of the fates   
   of his arresting officers, Faal, 21, celebrated on Facebook,   
   writing “JUST BEAT 2 GUN CASES” above an emoji of a flexing   
   bicep. His jubilant message soon garnered over 130 likes from   
   pals and more than 50 comments of praise like “As u should my   
   guy.”   
      
   But when the Daily News caught up with 21-year-old Faal he was   
   less effusive.   
      
   "I’m just a victim,” he said Tuesday. “I’m sorry. I’m not happy   
   about what happened.”   
      
   “I can’t talk about the cases,” he added. “Of course, I’m not   
   guilty.”   
      
   NYPD sources insist Faal was carrying guns in both incidents and   
   that he’s fortunate to be free.   
      
   On July 17, Faal was busted for possession of a .25-caliber   
   handgun at Crotona Ave. and Garden St., just up the block from   
   where he lives with his parents, police sources said.   
      
   The arresting officer, Brian Mulkeen, was killed Sept. 29 during   
   a tragic case of friendly fire while trying to arrest Antonio   
   Williams, an armed ex-con who bolted when cops tried to question   
   him about gang activity.   
      
   Police said Williams reached for his own gun but Mulkeen fired   
   his weapon five times before the ex-con could get off a shot.   
   The officers behind Mulkeen started shooting as well, striking   
   Mulkeen twice and killing him. Williams also died in the blaze   
   of bullets.   
      
   NYPD officer killed in 'violent struggle' with gunman   
   Before Mulkeen’s death, Faal’s gun was taken into evidence by   
   police and Mulkeen had articulated the details of the incident,   
   police sources said. But the Bronx District Attorney’s office   
   felt it couldn’t win a conviction without Mulkeen alive to   
   testify, the sources said.   
      
   Faal appeared in Bronx Criminal Court last Wednesday and the   
   case was dismissed, prompting his jubilant Facebook post that   
   morning.   
      
   Faal’s other case was also dismissed that morning, but for an   
   entirely different reason.   
      
   In August, NYPD Officer John Telesca was busted off-duty for   
   kiddie porn at his home in Westchester. He allegedly had at   
   least 60 pictures of naked children between ages 8 and 13 on his   
   electronic devices.   
      
   Telesca also allegedly shared the disturbing photos by email. He   
   was charged with possessing and promoting an obscene sexual   
   performance by a child and released on $5,000 bail. The NYPD   
   suspended him without pay after his arrest.   
      
   Following Telesca’s arrest, Bronx prosecutors began taking a   
   look at his arrest record as a NYPD officer, police sources said.   
      
   On Feb. 1, 2018, he busted Faal at Webster Ave. and Fordham Road   
   for allegedly carrying a .40-caliber handgun, police said.   
      
   That case appeared to be nearing trial when Telesca was busted.   
   The DA’s office decided it couldn’t successfully prosecute   
   Faal’s case because of the legal troubles Telesca was facing,   
   sources said.   
      
   The Legal Aid Society, which represented Faal in the Mulkeen   
   case, had no comment Tuesday. Legal Aid also represented Faal in   
   the other case right after the arrest, but another lawyer took   
   over after that. It wasn’t clear who that lawyer was.   
      
   Patrice O’Shaughnessy, a spokeswoman for the Bronx DA’s office,   
   confirmed both gun cases were sealed and dismissed. She had no   
   comment on the Telesca case but said that the Mulkeen case was   
   dismissed because “we would not have been able to prove the case   
   beyond a reasonable doubt.”   
      
   Faal also has three marijuana and a fare evasion arrest on his   
   record, police sources said. He is due in court next week on one   
   of the marijuana cases.
