I find it absolutely rediculous that those officers closed on someone suspected of being armed and having shot someone in a crowded location when the same agency probably has a policy of "backing off" in vehicle chases. They should have followed at a discrete distance until the suspect was in a location that wasn't so "target rich" for their hail of bullets!

They're weaing bullet proof vests, the unconstitutionally disarmed citizen bystanders were not. Hero's would have taken a different approach.

Maybe Bloomberg could grab the guns of all his police officers and just arm them all with hand grenades. I'm sure they'd be just as effective at taking out suspects and possibly a little less collateral damage then the cops with guns shooting in every direction caused.

Proof that 10-round mags aren't enough. If there would have only been one cop, he would have had to reload while the bad guy was pointing a gun at him. If there had been one cop and two bad guys, he would have had to reload THREE TIMES since he would have needed 32 shots.

Not that NYC residents are allowed their constitutional rights anyway, but if they were and the Great Leader Bloomberg passed something similar to an AWB, do you really think it would apply to his SS/gestapo forces? They'd still be as armed as they please, shooting suspects and everyone else near them.

Maybe calling them SS/gestapo is a little too generous because i'm sure they actually had firearms training before assaulting the innocent public.

Nine people just got injured with guns. It's obvious NYC needs more gun control. And so the NYPD should be banned from carrying any firearms. It's the logical thing to do, Mayor Bloomberg.

^^^^this x 100000000000000000000.

There has GOT to be some way to get a pro 2A media-spin on this to counter the absolute luncacy of the anti's out there, in regards to civies somehow being "less qualified" to carry and shoot than these donut-devouring dolts..
