A suspect swung a machete-style blade at two NYPD cops just outside the secure area where revelers were gathered to ring in the new year—and was then shot by one of the cops.
None of the injuries were life-threatening, according to NBC New York. It unfolded a couple of hours before the midnight ball drop in Times Square, and some revelers waiting to get into the area reportedly ran in panic.
It’s incredible to me that with all of our modern science & tech, we still resort to using a crude 600 year invention to blast hot metal slugs into human beings, rather than having a reliable non-lethal method to immobilize someone.
If one is innocent until proven guilty in court, then cops MUST ensure every suspect gets safely to court for trial. It is never ok for them to kill innocent people, regardless of anyone’s blood lust. Respect for the rule of law demands consistent fairness.

‘Good, bad or ugly, we are history’: New Year’s Day marks 100 years since Rosewood massacreSunday, Jan. 1, 2023, will mark 100 years since an angry, racist mob invaded and destroyed the town of Rosewood after a white woman falsely accused a Black man of assaulting her. Why don’t you cover the crippling black on black crime currently going on in black communities? Should we study all history yes, but people are suffering now and your priority as usual is skewed to divide the races. White women have long been raised to Weaponized their femininity/tears against people of color. Even today, they use a more modern form of Weaponized femininity by calling the police on people of color for any perceived reasons. The echo of these communities are all over the US. Well thank God we have evolved.
