To summarize, an officer committed a mass shooting on a public subway in the effort to shoot a $2.60 fare jumper.
Justice, baby.
Dig it.
/s
To be fair, he did get him.
and it took a lot of effort to do so, as he managed to shoot more than one other person
I would like to see a movie in which someone calls the cops and tells them that a terrorist ist running amok in a train station. The thing is that the terrorist is dressed as a cop and, of course, the cops start shooting each other. In the end it turns out they are all terrorists.
Yes, all cops are terrorists.
What does this have to do with socialism?
American socialism has the demilitarization of the police and ending police brutality as key policy goals, so news like this is of interest to keeping tabs on that problem.
Wow, trash taking itself out.
Also taking out innocent bystanders:
two police officers pursued this man up three flights of stairs and confronted him on the station platform. Police say the man pulled out a knife. Both officers opened fire on the man, piercing him with several bullets, while also striking two bystanders; one of the officers was hit with friendly fire. One of the bystanders, a 49-year-old man, is in critical condition in the hospital from a bullet wound to the head.
They really are completely devoid of any care, aren't they?
They know that they don't have to.
Yup. So we don't have to care about them either.
There isn't any evidence of a knife except for a closeup photo which was taken of a different person in a different place who had a knife.
Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.
