New York police have defended their actions after a bystander was shot in the head as two officers tackled a fare-evader armed with a knife in a busy subway station.
The man was in critical condition after the shooting at Sutter Avenue L station in Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon. Three others, including the suspect, were wounded.
This.
This is the problem already. Instead of “something happened, the officers in charge are temporarily on hold until we have fully investigated this incident” it’s immediately defending the indefensible.
I’m all for unions but fuck the police union with an umbrella. Defending workers rights is great but this is defending psychopaths, defending no and bad training, defending violence, defending an abusive system that by now has killed thousands over decades.
STIO DEFENDING THIS SHIT
Nobody said how big.
