How long until the cop’s inevitable acquittal?
Involuntary manslaughter at a minimum. He knew better than to put his finger on the trigger.
The chief said this “It was a pitch-black hallway, .
Cops cannot clear the field in front of them, and then go find out what it was, cops have to start taking more risks, the citizen death count from clearing the area shootings is just too high.
The cop needs to be fired and charged. Easily startled, with his finger on the trigger, and pops off a round. When it comes to a life, he should have been more careful and kept his finger off the trigger until the target is identified as a threat. What if it were a child? Doesn’t matter, an innocent life was lost.
The NYPD’s current authorized uniformed strength is 34,450.[7] There are also approximately 4,500 Auxiliary Police Officers, 5,000 School Safety Agents, 2,300 Traffic Enforcement Agents, and 370 Traffic Enforcement Supervisors currently employed by the department
do they all get a freebie??
It was that damn civilian’s fault for standing where the cop was shooting. /sarc
This was a cop, so finger on the trigger is part of the job description, especially in the high crime neighborhood. Of course, the lynchmob wants some blood, so the cop might get sacrificed.
We’ll find out.
a cop killed an innocent man and you think this is about a lynchmob? He should be in prison.
Please tell me how you “accidentally” pull the trigger on your service revolver - in a dark hallway, when you cannot identify your target, nor any others who may be in the line of fire, and nor do you have any threat made against you? So this a-hole just pops off a cap in the dark - because he was “afraid of the dark”? This is one more example of why I hate cops. The damn fools being hired today have neither the brains nor the moral fiber to be police officers.
We don't, but cops are special.
“This was a cop, so finger on the trigger is part of the job description, especially in the high crime neighborhood. Of course, the lynchmob wants some blood, so the cop might get sacrificed.”
What the hell is wrong with you?
Oh PULEASE!
Give me a break!
Maybe if one of your own get taken out by some fool with a badge and no brains, you then might think differently.
The Louis Pink houses are in East New York, not Red Hook. East New York is most certainly notoriously dangerous.
Walking around with a finger on the trigger is absolutely NOT “part of the job description.”
You really outta see these trigger happy cops in NYC; petite women standing 5 feet, effeminate Asian men, and you name it. They walk up to with their hands on the trigger, because you could literally slap the taste outta their mouth. Scared, ignorant, poor, feeble, and sad. Truly, NYC cops are the bottom of the barrel.
