New York 'Cops gone wild'

finalcall.com NEW YORK (FinalCall.com) - Two days after activists and politicians held a press conference to protest “aggressive behavior” by members of the New York City Police Department, a 25-year-old Black man was shot by a police lieutenant while being questioned about an alleged stolen car. The incident happened during the early morning of Aug. 8 after the lieutenant’s gun went off accidentally, according to media reports. An Amsterdam News headline the same week read “Cops Kill Again,” highlighting the Aug. 3 killing of a 20-year-old Black man in his Brooklyn apartment. The police officer involved said he felt threatened and fired his 9mm weapon in response.
