In the days since Sunday’s shooting, police officials have repeatedly emphasized that the officers fired after Derell Mickles “charged” at one of them, and when their attempts to deescalate the situation and use Tasers had failed — leaving them with little choice but to resort to deadly force to protect themselves and passengers.
The footage, uploaded to the NYPD’s YouTube page Friday, offers a different view of the shooting that not only wounded Mickles but also a bystander, who was hit in the head with a stray bullet. Gregory Delpeche, 49, was sent to the hospital in critical condition, where doctors had to open up his skull to reduce brain swelling, according to his family.
Just in case anyone lives under a rock, this is another great example of how the cops are not there to protect you. They will hurt you, intentionally or accidentally, and they will never apologize or try to make amends for what they've done. They will always blame somebody else.
And if you don't believe me, ask yourself this. When people on the New York subway see someone with a knife next week or next month, will they be happy if the police arrive? Or, will they run away, because the police are there. I think we all know the answer to that question.
Footage of two New York City police officers ... shot at him as he was standing still, his arms by his side and his back to a train.
Cops are trained to see every little thing as an immediate threat on their lives.
That's why this happened:

Meanwhile, police officer isn't even in the top 25 most dangerous jobs in America.

Maybe we should start giving guns to roofers.
It's not even funny anymore how utterly incompetent (and bigoted) the police force in America is.
A cop would rather shoot and kill a suspect and bystanders than suffer even the slightest of injury. I don't blame the cops for being scared of a potential knife and blasting the guy without a care for anything but your own skin. But don't do that and call yourself a hero.
Honestly I think that's a pretty low expectation.
I'm not going to watch the video but killing someone when there is no imminent threat is murder.
The threat was definitely there, the man was aggressive from the moment they approached him.
Now I definitely don't agree with how they reacted to literally every aspect of this situation, they're lucky more people haven't been hurt from their idiotic decision making. But to call this a non threat situation is pretty dishonest.
I knew footage would be proof against the police. Who would have guessed though.
"We had to shoot. We left our hand grenades and bazooka at home by mistake. HQ wouldn't authorize the nuclear strike unless he had a gun."
What a word salad of a headline. Did the officers wound the four that got wounded? Did the man with the knife wound them? Was the man with the knife involved with the shooting at all? Really confusing.
Yes. The cops shot 4 people. The man with the knife, two random people on the train, and one of the cops. One of the random people is in the hospital with brain swelling, and may be brain dead.
The cops claimed they had to open fire because the knife wielding man charged them. This video shows he did no such thing when they shot him, he wasn't even waving it around. He turned his head with his hands down on at sides, his back to the train, standing still. That's when two of the cops opened fire on him and a crowded train.
The article that is linked explains what happened.

Let's get one thing clear, he definitely chased a cop with the knife out. Clearly unstable and screamed "shoot" several times during the encounter. I say that to demonstrate his state of mind, not that people who say that should be shot.
The suspect charging the cop is at the linked timestamp: https://youtu.be/-EaAraFPzEo?t=952
it says shooting that wounded 4 people. the guy had a knife. unless you know how to shoot with a knife, it's obvious that the cops wounded them.
So have they actually shown that he had a knife yet or not?
From what I've gathered, they stated an unidentified man left the crime scene with the knife. They showed a still from "body cam footage" of a hand holding a knife, but someone said the clothes didn't match up
How the fuck does this have this many upvotes?
You're TWO clicks from learning that yourself. Here, I'll make it one.
So yes, I guess. I'd seen reporting saying he did, then he didn't, then he did but he didn't take it out, then someone did have a knife but not him, then he did have a knife but dropped it and someone took it.
- The guy was spotted with the knife and walked on a train with no more than two officers engage him.
- They used the taser and it failed.
- He walks out and they immediately chase and pull guns.
- He stops and is standing 5-7 ft away with cops on both sides.
- At least two officers stand off with him.
For all the money they spent, why was it only two officers? I thought it would fix everything? Instead another shooting with innocent people being affected.
Sean Bean motherfuckers never saw Ronin apparently.
Save yourself a click - there is no such video on that article.
I'm here for the goalpost moving. Last thread regarding this incident was a bunch of "cops are lying", "there is no knife", and "yeah that's a picture of a knife but we don't know it's real".
