This one is a gem.
Two of the NYPD’s finest decided to open fire on an unarmed, mentally disturbed man outside New York’s Port Authority Bus Terminal. His capital offense–wandering through traffic.
Though these defenders of the realm missed their target, they did manage to shoot two women who had the impudence to be on the scene.
And now for the MOST unbelievable part of the story-–New York’s DA has charged the mentally disturbed man with...

Ha ha ha.. no.
No impediment exists to your posting it all here.
So? According to the usual suspects here, the most important thing is that the cops got home safely.
Dogs and bystanders not important...
you think they are bad now,
just wait til the new mayor is in office.
I call it pathetic
I saw it before.
Most NYC cops I have encountered were arrogant jerks. Glad I dont live there.
There’s a holdup in the Bronx.......
Car 54 where are you?
Pathetic.
I wonder who the two women are going to sue?
You forgot "We don't know the whole story." that's a favorite with the FR jackboot licking crew.
Only the police can be trusted with guns. They receive special training, you know.
Criminal charges against the cops would be appropriate, but will NEVER happen.
I make it a point to never give him the click
Concealed carry permit holders are held to a higher standard and therefore have to use better judgement and skill than LEO’s. We will be held personally responsible for every bullet we fire.
There were no dogs arounds so they picked out two civilians
There probably is more to this story, but it will be really difficult to justify these facts.
390 miles tomorrow. Fly or drive. Hmmmm let’s see.
Drive, 6 hours, almost all interstate, not many bottlenecks along the way. Work at home in the morning. Enjoy breakfast with wife. Leave at noon, listen to Rush, listen to Hannity, there by dinner. May listen to oldies and sing at the top of my lungs for a bit. Maybe see some interesting things along the road. Arrive a little tired but not bad.
Fly, allow 5 hours, 1 hour to airport, be sure to get there 2 hours B4 flight cause you never know, 1 hour flight time, 1 hour to get out of the airport, catch a cab and get to the hotel.
Strip off boots, belt and coat, move computer to tray, be sure to remove Leatherman and all change from briefcase, leave pocket knife at home etc. Stand in X-ray, hold arms over head like a criminal, be passive, grit teeth but try not to look angry, risk being frisked by Fat Albert and / or having all contents of bags manhandled etc. Oh boy! What fun!
Fly red-eye or late afternoon.
Up at 0430 for red eye, got to allow for 48 miles of rush hour traffic to go the airport and get there too early, about 1000. Kill rest of day at hotel working on something.
Leave the house at 1300 for afternoon flight and arrive by about 1800.
Arrive at destination having been run through the mill, tired, frustrated, angry... yeah buddy.
Return
Drive, leave in evening and drive until I get tired, hotel if necessary. Up early, drive to office.
Fly, leave at 1900 and maybe arrive home by midnight.
Oh, and did I mention that the only carrier is United? Blech!
Stupid of me. Don’t know how that happened. Wrong thread.
“But we had to shoot him; he was wandering in traffic and could have been hurt. It was for his own good ...”
