Police Decide to Start Shooting Around Tourists in Times SquareNominee

Hard to imagine a 25-year-old local scam artist is so dangerous to the public that it was worth endangering the lives of many by opening fire in a crowded public spot.  Or enough to kill him, which is what they did.  Watched too many movies? Poor judgment call?  Poor training?  Personally  prefer the practice in Europe, where typically let the guy get away (and try to catch him later), rather than start a public gun fight that might kill or wound many onlookers.

    Said 25 year old scam artist decided to shoot first at the NYPD with a MAC10 which (because the said 25 YO scam artist held it gangster style sideways causing the gun to jam). NYPD responded and were much better shots.

    Submitter is a troll, been watching too many movies, made a poor judgment call, needs better training and hasn’t yet learned.

    The scam artist shot first, what should they do, let him decide when to stop shooting. Doug Lansky lets hope you never hold a public office position.
