Why did they shoot him, was he threatening the other officers, or was it because he had a gun?
Dark, black man running with gun, late at night( three strike right there), and anti-thought, designed, military style shoot don’t shoot drills that pattern a person to shoot.
Mix, shake, get outcome. Shooting officer alive first and foremost.
I’m not sure that when you look at the system, the design, the planning, training of the Police, that anything was done wrong.
I’ve always said, that upon careful inspection we are all criminals now. Now, the shooting officer will be gone through and some fault will be found on him, not the system. Maybe not. I’m sure the NYPD union knows the in’s and outs of the Rabbinical hairsplitting, mindboggling, irrational rules that officers are under and will find a loophole.
It’s the paper shuffling, rule churning, law dumping, code enforcing, ordinance mountains, lawyer spawning dysfunctional world we live in.
