Four people were wounded at a Brooklyn subway station Sunday when police officers shot a man threatening them with a knife, and inadvertently sprayed bullets that hit passengers, authorities said.
The people struck by gunfire included two innocent bystanders, one of the officers and the man with the blade, who the police initially confronted because he hadn’t paid his fare, officials said.
One of the passengers, a 49-year-old man, was hospitalized in critical condition after a bullet passed into an adjoining subway car and struck his head.
Jfc. The guy doesn’t pay his fare so cops let loose with their service weapons, spraying people with bullets.
As always, ACAB.
If those Innocent Bystanders DIDNT want to get Shot they Shouldn’t have been Around a Petty Criminal at that EXACT MOMENT! THE COPS DID NOTHING WRONG! I LOVE BOOT FLAVOR!
I feel like every comment or joke I could possibly make is already obvious to everyone the second everyone read the story.
So instead I’m going to scream into this pillow, cry uncontrollably, and then punch these pancakes as I try to come to grips with how this situation will have zero real long lasting consequences for the cops responsible.
Surely I misread the title. The wounded were all stabbed, surely. Nope… Cops open fired hit the suspect, 2 randos (one of which was hit in the head), and a friggin cop. All started by suspect not paying the fare. Cops made the whole situation infinitely worse than had they not showed up.
It hurt itself (and two innocents) in its confusion
