Cops shot and killed a Brooklyn man Friday after he lunged at the officers with a knife moments after stabbing his roommate, police said.

The man allegedly stabbed his roommate about 8 p.m. inside of their Carroll Gardens apartment, cops said.

The roommate then ran downstairs to a spa, where workers called 911. When cops arrived, the injured man pointed out his attacker, who was standing on the street outside.

The uniformed police officers shot and killed the man after he lunged at them with the knife as they approached, cops said.

That doesn’t sound like a level playing field. Either the cops give the perp a gun, or they only use equal weapons and toss their guns down and use a knife. Hey, fair is fair.

Does anyone still wonder why journalism is the chosen major for “D” students at community college?

Yet another proof that sentence diagramming is no longer taught in English class.

To stop him from voting for Obama again

This headline goes quite well with today’s other headline about a homeowner holding a robber at gunpoint in his bathrobe. LOL!

"Taken to Long Island College Hospital and treated for tinnitus"?

Now they can claim job related disability and sit on their butts for the next 50 years!
