Yes its sad that an innocent man was killed. But why are they attacking the NYPD as a whole the men who killed him shoud be attacked. New york needs police.

Well, I guess the whole police force is being targeted when it's just a few, just like all of Islam gets targeted when it's just a few being the terrorists. Whatever...I s'pose the Black community remember when the police shot this Black man who was a total innocent, standing in the shadows. The police got away w/ that one. And didn't the police abuse an immigrant years ago, shoving a broom handle up his anus? Can't remember all the details but those are 2 brief examples of why it's so easy to look cross-eyed at the whole NYC police dept.

the whole police force is being blamed because the innocent man was shot at fifty times and it was done completely within the guidelines established by which the police can fire on a suspect.
As I understand it the officers were in plain clothes and they approached the group in a parking garage outside a strip club.
Now i don't know of any strip clubs in nice neighborhoods, so if it was me and 5 people came up to me with guns drawn, it wouldn't matter what they said, I would think it was a robbery, I would think danger, I would try to get away, and when they did try to get away, the police considered the car backing toward them to be a threat to their life so they fired their weapons, which is completely within their rights as police officers

How you can justify shooting a person in the back 50 times is a mystery to me..How they are keeping asinine news caster like Sean Hannity is also baffling! Blacks can be just as discriminatory against each other, just as any other race can be bigoted to those different from themselves....(Fox news ) From what I have heard the police served as judges, jury and executioners! They fired and reloaded! Shame, Shame Shame! This is occurring too frequently across the United States and something should be done...About 10 years ago, my own nephew was shot in the back by Chicago Police, in my sister's backdoor.....See lynchings on line, That is what this is equal to.
