Nice shootin' Elmer Fudd!
Where was Car 54?
40 shots rang out
40 people fell
They totally missed each other
But they shot the town to hell.
Cow Patty
Was it a Dindu Nuffin?
You only had to kill Patty’s daddy once to get that gal P. O.’d.
Any bets on how many seconds will pass before their moronic mayor denounced these officers without even knowing what actually happened?

Well, at least Reverend Al won’t have to go far to “find” some “moral outrage”.

“Four officers open fired and hit the suspect once?
Nice shootin’ Elmer Fudd!”
Pretty good since they have 20 lb New York triggers.
“The man was mentally ill, according to Crown Heights residents.”
You have to he MENTALLY ILL to live in NYC.

Sure sounds like it, based on this angry critic's grammar.
Kudos to CBS NY for leaving that in. The NYTimes usually edits Ebonics morons to sound like Shakespeare.
From what I got in the story it seems to be an obvious case of suicide by cop.
LOL
