NYPD brass vow to release Brooklyn subway police shooting bodycam footage soon, say incident was ‘not about fare evasion’ NYPD brass defended on Wednesday the actions of two of New York’s Finest in the Brooklyn police-involved subway shooting on Sunday that left two bystanders wounded, along with a knife-wielding suspect and an officer.
“Just a tragic incident for everyone involved, and we wish everybody speedy recovery, our prayers are with everybody. We are human beings, we have families,” Chell said. “Our officers try everything to deescalate these situations, to help people through mental stress. But we are not perfect, and every situation is not the same.”
Chell then said Mickles allegedly returned to the station, this time passing in through an open gate. After that, the same cops followed the suspect and commanded him to show them his hands and to drop the knife. Police say he refused to comply and they pursued him aboard an arriving train. “I’m going to stress this again, this incident is not about fare evasion. This incident was about a person in mental stress armed with a deadly weapon,” Chell said.As for the faulty Tasers, amNewYork Metro quizzed police on why the non-lethal devices did not function as designed on Sunday.
