I vaguely recall an incident more than 5 years ago, in which an NYPD cop shot (and, I think, killed) a frum Jew weilding a hammer and threatening passersby in Boro Park or Williamsburg. The ywn commentators were mostly outraged at the brutality, especially because, it turned out, the shot man had a long history of mental illness.
One thing we learned from the Chauvin/Floyd murder is that when a cop kills someone, the cops release a phony story. The cell-phone video of George Floyd’s death unequivocally showed that the police department press release was a lie.
I don’t know enough about the shooting in this story to start passing out medals, or indictments, but I know that the facts in these situations are complicated, and police departments have an ugly history of lying.
