They can kill you just as dead.

...“appeared out of nowhere,”...

Sounds like one of those "suicide by cop" things to me.

Don’t bring an air pistol to a gunfight.

It was actually a Walther CP99 compressed air pistol, but was designed to look like a Glock, police said.

Really? Designed to look like a Glock?

Gosh, New York peoples is so smart!

I'm one of the first to jump on the cops in most of these shootings... but this one seems justified. The only hiccup that I see is that the arrestee had enough time to say “They’re cops, you idiot!”, and yet it still escalated. But if the idiot was warned, AND proceeded against the police with an air pistol, then you may as well call it suicide-by-cop.

I'm not crazy about the never-ending parade of police shootings (my father served for 22 years in the 5-boroughs area, and never once shot anyone - despite being fired upon 3 times), but I can't see this as anything but justified.

It is a chance the cop could not take.

That fake Glock air pistol (probably) helped him pull all kinds of sheeeeet out on the street. But his good luck streak ran out with some cops

Seriously, when a drug dealer tells you to not act stupidly around cops, that is pretty good advice.

“Looked like a gun?” An air pistol is a gun! Pull a gun on a police officer - you get shot - end of story.

Looks like a Glock? The CP99 is—and is supposed to be—a dead ringer for the Walther P99C.
