Full title: Innocent bystander, 61, dies after NYPD accidentally shot him in bungled attempt to catch a gun dealer

So, will they go after DiBlasio, like they did Rudy?

[conservative98]

Only police should have guns.

In response to the sting-gone-wrong, Mount Vernon Police Commissioner Terrence Raynor said: 'Things went awry, and shots were fired.'

So of 11 rounds fired, three hit the perp and wounded him and two killed a innocent person. Maybe some more range time is in order, and some training to not just empty the mag in the general direction of the perp.

Three of the shots his Smothers, while at least two went astray and hit Kumi, who was standing behind him.

I'd say more like 8 went astray.

What was Innocentbystander doing in NYC?

Some of the *older* FReepers may remember him.

Thought he was a left cost FReeper?

[Rodamala]

Innocent bystander, my ass... he was a collaborator.

Well, if it was an accident, then I guess IT'S ALL GOOD.

After all, the local prosecutor would not prosecute a peasant if he or she "accidentallly" shot someone to death...

LOL!

“... while at least two went astray and hit Kumi,...”

Where are the cries for “gun control”? Seems like some pretty poor “gun control” on the part of the “designated executioner”.

Hey, stuff happens. Especially when cops are involved. Best choice is not to interact with cops if you can help it.

Do you supposed that Felix Kumi's familiy feels as bad as Deputy Darren Goforth's family does?

[Chickensoup]

Bears repeating:

We are a totalitarian fascist state and the police are doing things like this to terrify the population.
