Seems like NYPD needs more training

too much monster energy and red bull and 5 hour energy police response culture. They should stress situational awareness and composure and critical thinking under stress.

The report i saw said the perp had a toy gun. So that means police fired first.

My thoughts and prayers to NYPD Family of First Responders and the family of the Fallen Officer...thank you for your service 🌹🇺🇸 Rest In Peace

Because ABC won’t report...

Nice, another race soldier bites the dust. Rest in hell.

Arm teachers

So if trained professionals can accidentally shoot a good guy, what makes you think no professionals won’t ? Any volunteers?

So who was 'Friendly Fire'? Is that not public information?

So sad...

MattWhitaker46 This is what happens when the training of these officers is to shoot first & quick! It is all in the training. We need to change some of our training methods. Otherwise, we will have more unwanted shootings & more innocent people getting shot. 😓
