Bystander shot in head as New York police tackle fare-evader

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.

Getting shot for the crime of someone else jumping a turnstile, classic

“You saw him - he had a gun”

Ahh yes clearly the only sensible solution to a man taking the tube ‘riding the subway’ without paying for a ticket is to pull out your Big Gun™️ and shoot him some poor fucking random guy in the head fuck my life bro holy shit

Janno Liever, the chief executive of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, said that the incident “started because somebody wanted to come to the transit system with a weapon, somebody who… had a history of crime and a history of violence and even gun charges”.

Yes, and besides those two there was a guy with a knife as well.

Last I heard they hadn't found the knife yet.

Wait so did they find the knife? I was reading reports they couldn’t even find a knife.

Edit: yup, no knife

The police said on Sunday that a knife had been recovered and posted a picture on social media. The next day, however, it posted another message saying the knife had been taken from the crime scene by an unidentified man

I will point out that the story has a body cam screenshot showing the knife, presumably in the suspect’s hand.

The clothing in the picture doesn’t match the clothing the suspect was booked in. So it’s still in question.

You mean the NYPD would just go out there on the internet and tell lies?!?

Yeah, not surprised.

The passive (or exonerative) voice in that article is infuriating. Police tackle the suspect, but the bystander was just “shot in the head”. By whom? Hard to say when you’re licking boots.

spankmonkey ,

Clearly he was shot by the knife!

thefartographer ,

Which is why I always bring a knife to a pillow fight!

I’ve lost many friends…

ThePyroPython ,

But you’ve yet to lose a pillow fight.

Focus on what’s important.

Sometimes headshots develop spontaneously. It's a rare condition, but convenient. Some claim John F. Kennedy suffered from this condition.
