New York police have defended their actions after a bystander was shot in the head as two officers tackled a fare-evader armed with a knife in a busy subway station.

The man was in critical condition after the shooting at Sutter Avenue L station in Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon. Three others, including the suspect, were wounded.

    The passive (or exonerative) voice in that article is infuriating. Police tackle the suspect, but the bystander was just “shot in the head”. By whom? Hard to say when you’re licking boots.

          But you’ve yet to lose a pillow fight.

          Focus on what’s important.

      Sometimes headshots develop spontaneously. It’s a rare condition, but convenient. Some claim John F. Kennedy suffered from this condition.
