Police officers fired a total of 16 rounds; one officer shot nine while another one shot seven, the New York Police Department said.
The perp was within feet of the cops. But these white men had so much fear, that they end up shooting so wildly that nine bystanders got shot, while the perp was only shot around three times.
How can you miss from such a close range?
Fear.
So are these officers not trained to take the safety of the public into consideration?
Yes, but they were overcome with fear.
Fear of the white man. That is the explanation why so many unarmed black men end up shot forty times by the police. Another thing that’s noteworthy about this video, the man was still alive on the ground after the shooting had subsided. Can you imagine a black man living that long after pulling a gun on the pigs?
