According to the police account, officers pepper sprayed the man six times but he held onto the knife throughout the seven-block pursuit. At West 37th Street, he lunged at police and two officers shot him in the torso, police said. He was pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital.
Really? It took 7 blocks to catch this guy? Keystone cops. NYC has three cops per block ...
11" knife -- that's a 6 inch blade ... nice the cops let him run around swinging at people.
Proof that cops have no duty to protect YOU but when the guy gets within 10' of them ... its a hellfire of bullets ..
Needed to kill him? Subject to debate ... he likely had 20 cops shooting at him (eyewitnesses indicate that more than 2 cops shot at him so I'm guessing 20 cops and its a typo in the article) and they all are not great shots so they may have been aiming for his toes and accidentally shot him in the head.
Cops never should have let him get 1/4 of a block...
If NYC you allow CC or OC, this guy would have never even pulled a knife.
