Yikes!
Did you mean "since the academy?"
Idiot cops. No situational awareness. Just shooot!!!!
“The shots from the Glock prompted five fellow cops on the perimeter to open fire into the fray, according to NYPD officials.
Shot with his own side arm.
Maybe he had his chance but didn’t take it, and then got in a wrassle with the perp. Maybe not.
But this is a huge shame, and a tragedy.
The NYPD has now got to be careful now in the slums and projects. Patrol in pairs?
sad.
Sad. RIP.
Years ago, I said that Glocks were not good for cops. The trigger thing. I would prefer to see them with a DA only gun, like the Sig 320 or similar. The Glock is for “professionals”, no offense to law enforcement.
WTF? He’s on the ground wrestling with the thug - hopefully by not using an “illegal” chokehold - and the other cops shoot at them both? Why am I having a hard time believing that?
Oh please. What an incredabliy niave and stupid comment. How about respect for the dead LEO and his family.
Maybe Amber Guyger was there..
I have seen recent police shootouts online in LA,NYC and Philadelphia. It might as well be “spray and pray”. The typical police office gets very little range time and actually may never fire a weapon in the line of duty.
My guess: Fat lady cop.
“Now, investigators have concluded that he was only ever struck by friendly fire as he became the second cop shot dead in the line of duty this year — and the second by errant NYPD bullets.”
The only cops killed in the line of duty in New York City this year have been killed by other cops.
In the first case, in February, TWO cops were shot and the original suspect didn’t even have a real gun. Only the cops had guns... one got shot in the leg, the other got killed.

Thai cops shoot one of their own - more excusable as it was a ricochet...
There was one I was trying to find from Brazil... can't find it
