Police Shoot And Kill Unarmed Man In New York

Wrong place at the wrong time. An unarmed 28 year old man was shot and killed by a police officer in Brooklyn New York last Thursday, and initial reports say it may be an accidental discharge. Police say it was just an 'unfortunate tragedy' because he wasn't engaged in any criminal activity.

The victim, Akai Gurley, (pictured above) had been visiting his girlfriend’s apartment in the Brooklyn housing projects. The couple later tried to take the elevator as they were about to leave her place but it seemed the elevator wasn't working, so they decided to take the stairs.

#Ferguson - If You Don't Want To Get Hurt, Don't Challenge Me - Cop Writes In Open Letter

By Sunil Dutta

A teenager is fatally shot by a police officer; the police are accused of being bloodthirsty, trigger-happy murderers; riots erupt. This, we are led to believe, is the way of things in America.

It is also a terrible calumny; cops are not murderers. No officer goes out in the field wishing to shoot anyone, armed or unarmed. And while they’re unlikely to defend it quite as loudly during a time of national angst like this one, people who work in law enforcement know they are legally vested with the authority to detain suspects — an authority that must sometimes be enforced. Regardless of what happened with Mike Brown, in the overwhelming majority of cases it is not the cops, but the people they stop, who can prevent detentions from turning into tragedies.

Working the street, I can’t even count how many times I withstood curses, screaming tantrums, aggressive and menacing encroachments on my safety zone, and outright challenges to my authority. In the vast majority of such encounters, I was able to peacefully resolve the situation without using force.
