And then, in the course of pursuing someone about a less than $3.00 fare, the NYPD shot four people, including a police officer.
And one of the people that they shot is probably going to have brain damage for the rest of his life.
So, and additionally, the mayor, after this incident, went to the hospital to express his concern about the police officer, which, of course, it's a tragedy when anyone is shot, including a police officer.
But what about the innocent bystanders that were shot by your NYPD?
Then there's this whole thing that unfolded around the knife and the evidence.
So basically they claimed that the reason they had to shoot was because the man was wielding a knife and they showed pictures of the knife in the immediate hours after to say this was the weapon.
But then a few hours later they said someone stole the weapon and then now the story is it was the wrong weapon.
What does it mean
to say you had the wrong weapon.
Right.
I mean, well, if you're prioritizing his life, there's no reason that four people have to be shot because one guy pulled the knife.
I mean, I don't, you know, but the other thing is they don't seem to have found the knife.
At this point, they can't produce the knife.
And so, but the real question is, how are four people shot because you were pursuing one person over fare?
Who is safer as a result of this?
Well, I mean, clearly we want our subways, our subways are important for everybody to pursue.
But, I mean, one thing that people have pointed out is that Mayor Eric Adams has given the police so much overtime to work in those subways, where a lot of times officers are standing around playing Candy Crush and things like this in those subways, that the additional overtime, cutting that back would actually, you could cut into that budget and add more than you're losing from ferry major.
So, you know, but what people are really basically saying is, really, in the end of the day, we should be finding ways to support low-income people who are trying to travel to work, trying to travel with their families.
And, you know, this subway stop was in Brownsville, New York.
and Sutter Ave Station.
