Police opened fire on a subway platform in Brooklyn during a confrontation with an alleged fare-beater, striking the man cops said was armed with a knife, two straphangers caught in the fray, and one of the firing officers, NYPD officials said Sunday.
One of those two passengers hit by the cops’ bullets, a 49-year-old man, was hospitalized in critical condition after he was hit struck in the head, according to the NYPD.
The two officers who opened fire were assigned to patrol the Sutter Avenue subway stop in the 73rd precinct when they spotted a man skip the station turnstile and walk through an open gate toward the train platform, Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey explained at an evening press conference from Brookdale Hospital.
Not as a result of two people walking, but as a result of someone brandishing a knife and attempting murder in a public place. Cringe goalpost move.
And all of what you’re saying is based on literally nothing but your hate boner for police, lmao.
The image released shows a knife clutched in the criminal’s hand. I’m sure he was strolling around like that very innocently and cops just opened fire on him for a laugh, right?
The straw-grasping is incredible.
Like it’d matter to your type. We have extensive hard video evidence of what happened with Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, all put online publicly mere days after the event, and there are still innumerable imbeciles claiming shit it directly contradicts happened, lol.
Lol, you guys used the same argument about car chases. Just two cars driving. It’s an absurdist reduction.
And no it’s not based on hate. It’s based on the police being found to lie over and over again. Even with video footage available. They just aren’t credible. And you bending over backwards to defend them shooting into a crowd is repugnant.
Fact: Bigotry is hate. Fact: Assuming someone is a liar based on their job is textbook bigotry.
Therefore, yes, it’s based on hate.
ACABers are so obsessed with their prejudicial hate that they actually happily swallowed the complete fabrication in the OP’s title, and ACTUALLY convinced themselves that cops saw someone jump a turnstile and their initial immediate reaction was to open fire on them, lmao.
