Grand Juries are a joke. They will indict anyone that is brought before them. I don't know why we even bother anymore.
Next. District Attorney's are a joke. Well, at least some of them. If you have a clown in the DA's office that is looking for a promotion or higher office then you can expect a parking ticket to turn into a crime against humanity.
Last. NY police should be disarmed. Believe it or not if what I'm reading is true then I don't blame them for the shooting. A furtive movement --- especially to one's pockets is just an indication of a desire to commit suicide by cop. So the shooting is justified. I BLAME THEM 100 percent for hitting bystanders. A civilian would be charged for those hit, even if the original target was justified.
This is why people don't trust police.
An unarmed, emotionally disturbed man shot at by the police as he was lurching around traffic near Times Square in September has been charged with assault, on the theory that he was responsible for bullet wounds suffered by two bystanders, according to an indictment unsealed in State Supreme Court in Manhattan on Wednesday.A few things.
The man, Glenn Broadnax, 35, of Brooklyn, created a disturbance on Sept. 14, wading into traffic at 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue and throwing himself into the path of oncoming cars.
A curious crowd grew. Police officers arrived and tried to corral Mr. Broadnax, a 250-pound man. When he reached into his pants pocket, two officers, who, the police said, thought he was pulling a gun, opened fire, missing Mr. Broadnax, but hitting two nearby women. Finally, a police sergeant knocked Mr. Broadnax down with a Taser.
The shootings once again raised questions about the police use of firearms in crowded areas and drew comparisons to a shooting a year ago, when officers struck nine bystanders in front of the Empire State Building when they killed an armed murder suspect.
Initially Mr. Broadnax was arrested on misdemeanor charges of menacing, drug possession and resisting arrest. But the Manhattan district attorney’s office persuaded a grand jury to charge Mr. Broadnax with assault, a felony carrying a maximum sentence of 25 years. Specifically, the nine-count indictment unsealed on Wednesday said Mr. Broadnax “recklessly engaged in conduct which created a grave risk of death.”
