Welcome to NY where we shoot first and ask questions later.

Every citizens nightmare has happened in NY.  A man holding a firearm in the open was shot by the cops.  It is not clear if any orders were given to the man who was killed or even if the plain clothes cops identified themselves as police.  Except this time the cops got one of their own.  In an attempt to arrest a man who was breaking in to his car a NYPD officer in plain clothes was gunned down by another cop.   I think this clearly shows how readily cops are willing to shoot the civilians they are supposed to be protecting instead of taking the risk of being shot themselves. A risk that they are paid for, at least that’s what they tell us every time they want a raise.  Maybe after this cops in NY might be a little more careful about shooting the next civilian they come across with a weapon drawn, but you won’t find me holding my breath.
