Police in Brooklyn Fatally Shoot Man Who Chased and Shot at a Mugger
Four police officers were responding to reports of gunshots in East Flatbush when they saw the man, 20, chasing another man and a woman, the authorities said.
Police officers in Brooklyn shot and killed a 20-year-old man on Monday who had been shooting at a mugger running off with his wallet, according to three law enforcement officials familiar with the matter.
The man, Nathan Scott, was firing at a fleeing man and woman after his wallet was stolen, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were discussing a continuing investigation.
The man who stole Mr. Scott’s wallet later confessed to the theft, one of the officials said. Mr. Scott gave chase for several blocks after he was robbed, according to an official.
The fatal shooting occurred after four officers in an unmarked car, responding to calls of gunshots around 6 p.m. at East 57th Street and Linden Boulevard in East Flatbush, came across the foot chase, John Chell, the Police Department’s chief of patrol, said at a news conference on Monday.
The officers saw the man in pursuit of the couple, “firing numerous rounds trying to shoot them,” he said.
Mr. Scott was shot several times by the officers and was taken to Kings County Hospital, where he died, the authorities said. The shooting is under investigation by the Police Department’s Force Investigation Division, which examines officers’ use of deadly force, to determine whether the officers followed proper protocol.
No one has been charged in the incident, the police said. The couple chased by Mr. Scott were not harmed and their names have not been released. None of the officers were shot, the police said.
A gun was recovered at the scene, according to Chief Chell. A 60-year-old man was also shot twice on the street, he said, but it was unclear by whom.
In a porch security-camera video shared on social media and in news reports, two people can be seen running on a sidewalk, while gunshots can be heard in the background and someone yells, “hey, hey, stop, stop.” Shortly after, a man runs into the frame as a gray sedan stops and several shots are fired. The man, possibly Mr. Scott, then collapses.
Four officers can be seen exiting the car, shooting over a dozen times in the man’s direction. While approaching the man, officers yell at him not to move while he is on the ground, and more officers soon arrive at the scene.
The uniformed officers were assigned to the Brooklyn South community response team and were helping officers in the 67th Precinct, Chief Chell said.
I just hope they don't charge the thieves with felony murder.
(CW: dude getting airholed) I've also re-uploaded the security cam footage of the shooting from the New York Post. The first cop almost instantly fires four rounds off and then stops, sensibly--the dude's incapacitated. But then two seconds later his buddies clamber out and fire off a barrage of another dozen rounds, presumably not wanting to miss out on the action.
On the one hand, I doubt that the split-second reaction was enough time to justify shooting a dude in the back (I don't think I even heard a "drop it!" or anything like that). On the other hand, good riddance lmao
Making passports for AU countries is a hobby I didn't know existed but seems pretty neat
Damn that goes hard. I have so much respect for the people who put so much painstaking effort into restoring these old video game tunes--was really cool to see them explain their process.
I've had the groove from Bleed stuck in my head for like 15 years at this point, it slaps, and it's the only djent song I'll ever need
There's a VTuber pulling like 4K viewers on Twitch with a cockroach girl model, don't let your dreams be dreams
...well that's embarrassing 
Thank you though! If you don't mind, I've got a few more for you. First one's another one where I felt stuck (9 mines remaining, if that helps), second is more just a little overwhelming and I couldn't figure out a good place to start:
I actually didn't realize it until looking over the two screenshots, but they both have a pattern that I dread: a T-shaped clearing surrounded by unflagged spaces. Outside of a few specific scenarios with easy solutions (e.g. 5 at the top) it's something I struggle with a lot, and I wonder if there are any specific heuristics that help in dealing with them beyond "clear stuff nearby until you no longer have a T."
edit: just figured out the first one (southwest of upper 3 can't have a mine otherwise the upper 3 can't be fulfilled) which allowed me to solve the rest in like 20 seconds:
but would still love some pointers for the second one!
Charles Cornell's forced YouTuber persona can be kinda grating, but he knows his shit and I really like the videos where he focuses less on the reactions and goes a little more in depth or plays at length (e.g. his video that looks at National Park and Ecruteak City from Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal and includes him playing around with the progression for a few minutes @6:43 or his video on Earth Wind & Fire's "After the Love Has Gone").
A great breakdown of another game which made excellent use of its 3+1 channels is 8-Bit Music Theory's recent video about the Pokémon TCG OST (one of my favorite games AND OSTs). That particular video is very accessible, but if you're also into the more technical breakdowns, I can't recommend his channel highly enough. Some of the stuff might go over your head depending on your music theory knowledge, but the more you watch the more you pick up, and once I started studying jazz the stuff I learned from his videos made it easier to learn the concepts. He's got a bunch of great videos, but some of my favorites are his videos on Baka Mitai and the Dolphin Shoals sax solo, both of which I was able to take things away from and incorporate into my playing as well as helping with hearing things in other music. More advanced topic, but his series on modes really helped demystify them and see how to use them.
Shout out to that one Japanese artist who got convicted of obscenity for making a kayak based on a scan of her vulva
