nullagentThe NYPD shot a Black man yesterday over not paying a $2.90 fare.
Four bystanders were also shot, including an innocent person shot in the head in critical condition.
And naturally the cops had a friendly fire incident injury a cop too boot.
The Gothamist has an article and while its well written and the situation seems quite serious they seem to fail to call this what it was...
A mass shooting attack on civilians carried out by the NYPD.
How does it make sense to escalate a fucking subway fare into a mass fucking shooting?

Aftermath of NYPD shooting 4 ppl over a $2.90 fare
Laukidh@nullagent three people down two train cars apart. That’s some real “disciplined” work by the nypd.
Also, no medical care being given to at least two of them, cops just standing guard over bodies.
The even took the time to handcuff the guy 😡
RinostarGames@nullagent @Laukidh "YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT!" *bleeding to death*
@nullagent I couldn’t really tell, cause it’s only a couple frames, but I bet the one who was getting medical attention was the cop.

We backed down too easily from demands to defund the police. The amount of money that is wasted on criminal defense and legal settlements for police misconduct would be better spent solving social problems like homelessness.
