To summarize, an officer committed a mass shooting on a public subway in the effort to shoot a $2.60 fare jumper.
- Yes, all cops are terrorists.
What does this have to do with socialism?
- American socialism has the demilitarization of the police and ending police brutality as key policy goals, so news like this is of interest to keeping tabs on that problem.
Wow, trash taking itself out.
- Also taking out innocent bystanders:
  two police officers pursued this man up three flights of stairs and confronted him on the station platform. Police say the man pulled out a knife. Both officers opened fire on the man, piercing him with several bullets, while also striking two bystanders; one of the officers was hit with friendly fire. One of the bystanders, a 49-year-old man, is in critical condition in the hospital from a bullet wound to the head.
  
  They really are completely devoid of any care, aren't they?
  
  There isn't any evidence of a knife except for a closeup photo which was taken of a different person in a different place who had a knife.
