Hey now, don’t worry. I’m sure this will all be cleared up when the bodycam footage is released and it clearly shows the police being menaced with a knife… right?

Does the MTA not have security cameras? I live in Boston where the system is an antique (literally, in one part) and we have cameras on all platforms and all new trains.

(Granted, we did also face that bombing a few years ago that probably was used to justify the funding for it.)

The funny thing is you know they have searched every subway station in the area and can’t find a single knife

“Please help exonerate us! We totally had the right to shoot someone because they didn’t pay $3.50!”

Unless the figure has been changed, it was even less than that.

If it weren’t for the work of dedicated scientists I’d have assumed the knife would have just melded its the rest of the general subway ambiance.

are they just training them now to shout something about their life being in danger before they pull the trigger?

like south parks "theyre coming right for us!"

Maeve ,

This has been sop for a few decades now.

spankmonkey ,

Yeah, the South Park episode was based on a true story.

I know I have definitely been waiting for the inevitable video from someone there that disproves anything the cops said.

And I kinda hate having that feeling, to be honest. We shouldn’t feel that way.

But as we’ve seen time and again, cops’ word often can’t be taken as proof without some video to back it up.

Man, even the article can’t get the story straight…

“NYPD can’t find knife”…

“the department put out a request seeking the public’s help to find the knife”…

“a man believed to have swiped the suspect’s knife”…

“Video circulating on social media appears to show the man scoop up the knife”…

OK, that’s all consistent…

“the NYPD posted on X that the knife had been “recovered” following the police shooting.”

Um, no.

“Below is a picture of the weapon recovered from the scene of today’s incident. pic.twitter.com/D3AZjNr4cL

— NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) September 15, 2024”

Recovered? But then…

“Now, they are seeking the individual potentially in possession of the weapon”… Did you or did you not recover the weapon?

“the now-missing knife”… OK, so NOT recovered.

silence7 OP ,

The current position of the NYPD is that some random black guy wandering past a crime scene after the cops shot up a crowd decided to steal the knife that the cops considered to be key evidence. This is, to put it mildly, somewhat less credible than the claim that a crow tried to steal a murder weapon.

The police don’t want you to know this, but the knives at crime scenes are free. You can take them home with you. I have 458 knives.

Honestly I find Russian general’s belief in a 3 day offensive more credible than that.

Nearly 1000 days later, even.

“the department put out a request seeking the public’s help to find the knife”

Translation: “We’d love someone to come forward with a knife and claim it’s from the crime scene, so we can cover our asses.”

Yikes.
