Bystanders, cop shot as NYPD opens fire on alleged fare-beater in Brooklyn subway - Aussie Zone

Imagine killing three people over a $2 subway fare and parading around the city like you’re anything other than a domestic terror force

NYPD brass said the alleged fare-beater had charged at the officers with a knife and made verbal threats against their lives; he was last said to be in critical condition, along with one of the bystanders

Yeah, that may have been how it started.

Body-worn camera footage, which Maddrey said he reviewed before the press conference, allegedly showed the man make a verbal threat to the officers. He told the cops, “I’m going to kill you if you don’t stop following me,” the chief said.

Definitely sounds like the police at fault, and the guy wasn’t a walking time bomb or anything.

I get that the situation with the police in the US is cooked, but saying this was over a $2 fare isn’t really being honest about the situation.

“OH shit, Bobby shot some bystanders. We better say there was a reason we were shooting other than he was running away.”

“He had a knife! That’s the ticket!”

No knife found. Just typical police bullshit.

There’s body camera footage, and multiple eyewitnesses, do you really think they’re going to make up a knife?

There’s body cam footage of Tyreek handing the cops his license and the police turned around and said “he was refusing to identify himself.”

So, yeah, I fucking do.
