Trigger happy

2024-09-16 19:47:51.991223+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

So, uh, cops in New York City shot 2 bystanders while apprehending a guy with a pocket knife over a $2.90 fare evasion.

One of those two passengers hit by the cops' bullets, a 49-year-old man, was hospitalized in critical condition after he was hit struck in the head, according to the NYPD.

Can you imagine the bloodbath if they treated the casual misuse of deadly weapons used to kill tens of thousands every year, ie: speeding, similarly?
