Imagine shooting someone over $3 in unpaid fares
Literally not firing the gun would have been the fiscally responsible decision.
Wasted $30 in ammo and shot like 6 people to stop somebody from not paying less than $3.
I know someone who’s motorbike got stolen in Atlanta and the cops tracked the lo jack, then initiated a high speed chase that included a helicopter and briefly shut down part of the atlanta airport. They found the bike dumped in a forest near the airport and it ended up totaled out. This was a new bike, but like, an 8k one. When the person asked the cops why they went through all of that for such a cheap bike, they straight-up said they like causing high speed chases and exercising authority.
It’s not about the money, it’s about them getting to be cruel on your dime and you not having any recourse to stop them. They get off on that.
Did they not murder the “suspect” who had just jumped over a turnstile?
The US is a fucking stereotype/parody of it itself. This is right out of an episode of South Park. Guy is evading fare so you pull out your gun and start shooting? Tf?!
Get out a little notebook and write down a description. Take a phone out and snap a picture. Follow him on the CCTV and have cops waiting for him at the next platform.
I’d make a better police officer than half these dumb ass pigs.
I think there’s no way that’s the reason they shot at him, I think it’s more likely to be a power trip situation where they literally just wanted to kill someone. There’s no world where a cop shoots at someone for jumping a turnstile as an enforcement tactic, that’s just attempted murder for the first plausible excuse the pig could identify.
Must be so scary living in America you might get shot by the cops because someone else wasn’t doing anything wrong.
Imagine commuting back from your job, when suddenly you hear shoots around you. You look and see two police officers using your car as cover while they shoot a suspect in a UPS car just two cars in front on you.
I fucking hate new york state. I really don’t know how we have a reputation of being a progressive state when the politicians make it a priority that if poor people want to actually have public transportation they better know they’re at constant threat of being gunned down by the gestapo.
Yea but everybody in new yprk knows that only dems win in the state so everybody just calls themselves a dem (trump) and as a result we get “liberals” like Eric Adam’s who’s top priority is siding with cops against people trying to smoke legal pot.
You think someone would just do that? You just lie on the internet
I’ll give the cop the smallest bit of credit for almost getting rid of another.
