Let citizens have carry permits in NYC to protect us from all of these violent libs
@QueensUser954258011 violent libs? Please stop with the politicking and the HATE SPEECH! The election was over and your party is in power. What is your problem?
Hope the officers are ok 🙏🙏
Of course they are.. one man shot, not officers. Relax.
Play stupid games win super prize!!
Stop already. You wore it out
I would hope that people unfamiliar with law enforcement technique would try to understand that it is not the officers intent to EVER have a result like this, which is exactly why they vigorously attempted to descalate the situation. My hunch is that all responding officers fire so as to not have any one of them feel responsible for a fatal shot- it could have been any one of them. It seems they are trained to use deadly force when extreme situations warrant it. After all, criminals would likely not fire at a targets knee, would they? Regardless of the victims ethnicity, he was a threat to the safety of the community It is a sad situation for all involved.
