It's a difficult job to be a cop in these crazy times
A crime in Rego park?! NYC is going crazy especially in Queens
Suicide by cop this way is crazy
Living in a blue sanctuary city is absolutely terrifying.
He was just about to turn his life around
Drugs and alcohol
This is my friends aunt. She told me about it she was crying tbh best prayers. ❤
VENUZUELA
Thank God the NYPD Police Officers will be okay. RIP the man that passed.
NYC is safe crime is down 100%
She’s an amazing woman who did so much for my family when my father was in critical condition from a car accident. I grew up around them, them and myself are from Uzbekistan and based on what I heard the husband had some mental issues and that’s that. The only thing I don’t understand is how you become a cop and a protector of the law if you can’t lay a shot and wound the target in the leg arm or else where.. cops even if go by protocol aim to shoot and kill and in my opinion that’s a major problem. They did not know he is mentally ill and they won’t ever know that in any other case when coming to the scene but to avoid killing and take precarious could be done and if you can’t as a cop be on alert when you’re on scene you should not be a cop because it could of been a child with mental issues running at them with a knife or a woman.
I can't even imagine myself being a Police Officer. All you see if the negative side of society day in and day out.
I remember growing up watching snake plisskin thinking wow this is such a weird story, now I’m like New York. Lol.
NYC is wild
What these cops are showing is simply a photo of a knife. How difficult is that to obtain?
FAFO. oh well.
Back to the future??? Nope!!! Back to the 80's .....
I'm from this city lefrak city NYC 😑😑😑😑😑
Sounds like a suicide
This will be more common until the justice system realizes there are dangerous people walking around every damn day. Unfortunately it won’t change. Just listen to the newest rap song. That’s what is blasting in young peoples ears
