NYPD Fatal Shooting 78 Years Old Man. April 13-2023

1. Talk about elderly abuse.

2. this is sad.

3. So you want to be a police officer when you grow ?

4. Why does the commentator state that that guy did not deserve to die? He clearly pointed the gun at the officers and ran in their direction. I guess he doesn't want to upset the PC YouTube algorithms or some bs.

5. Neighbor lady says "He didn't deserve to die." [23-12-27 Wed 4] Neither did the cops. Seems to me the man knew perfectly well they were cops and he forced the issue so he could be done with it all. He had the gun "illegally"? Sounds like maybe he was a felon?

6. Old doesn't mean wise

7. The reason that pistol was “unlawfully owned” is because every handgun in NYC is pretty much unlawful… unless you’re LEO, FBI, ATF, HSI, or <insert 3 letter government acronym>, you’re not allowed to have one. No winners here. Honestly feel bad for everyone involved.

8. I bet people was already wanting apartment next day.

9. Elections are coming. So, most comments get deleted. We ALL know y this happens EVERY SINGLE DAY.

10. The okd man did not deserve to die….and the cops do not deserve to be charged either.
    This one will just be chalked up to a split second tragedy with some lessons to be used in training or police policy regarding police announcing themselves when knocking. Seen similar situations before. Sad all round. 😢

11. Why did he point his radio at the old man like it was a gun? He's eyesight probably isnt 100% Arent these cops trained properly? Rookie policing right there, you have the right to bear arms and defend your home, unless its a dumb ass cop at your door? Im so glad i live in Australia, ill never visit America, its 99% 3rd world

12. To all those saying "they didn't announce themselves": Officers are only required to announce themselves and their intent before using force to enter a dwelling. Otherwise, they are not required to do that.

13. they never called out,,, we were the POLICE, THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE game changer.

14. Don't point a gun at the cops. They teach you that at 5 years old. Somehow this guy forgot about that fact after 73 years. Still doesn't make his judgement any more sound or more lawful. He put a quarter in the jukebox so he got to hear the tune.

15. Moins de risque avec un bouclier qui pourrait protèger les policiers

16. This is one of those tightrope knife edge situations. What is commonly called "lawful but awful". So sad for the old man to go out like that but devastating for the officers too. What else could they do?
    My guess is no charges for the cops and a payout for the man's family is how this will end.
    And possibly some riots sorry, peaceful protests.

17. You know what's annoying and asinine? The delay on the body cams when they turn on. That first 30 seconds of footage would provide a lot of information that we don't get. Could be good for the cops or the people they deal with. They need audio to record when the video starts.

18. Two points

    1) the police were justified in their actions
    2) this is why American gun lust is such a problem. In literally every other first world nation (example Canada), the police dont face these situation very often…. because there are very few guns.

19. never identified themselves as police WHY ???

20. So this guy’s nephew thought he was being robbed the police show up don’t announce they are police officers even when he opens the door. This is the kind of police you get in cities where you guys defunded them.

21. Shit happens.
    Even when you're sober..

22. I don't think they did anything wrong in this circumstance but I think they should announce themselves to avoid some situations

23. The man charged them with a gun after he looked at them. Suicide by cop. Very unfortunate.

24. Old people have a right to protect themselves from any and all threats

25. The police should know that he hadn't learned in 78 years to not point a firearm at armed uniformed officers. They need to go back to the academy and be retrained.

26. Oh my God, the gun wasn't legal in New York. He must have been such a criminal 😂 No reason he's shouldn't be able to own that gun. If he's too dangerous to own a gun He should be in jail.

27. That's bullshit. WTF

28. So what happened to the robbery suspect?

29. Black people need to learn how to own a gun.

30. Was he confused? I mean he let them in, no?

31. i guess we lost the right to defend our property.

32. 6:00 "That old man did'nt deserved to die". Wait, what? Of course, no one "deserves" to die, but he pointed a gun at someone with a gun. Are the officers "deserved" to die?

33. Не заслуживал смерти? а пушку наставил!

34. What this seems like to me… is someone talked an old man that didn't want to stick around anymore, into committing sewiside by cop in order to cash in for the family. This was sad and tragic but justified. And yet it seems like there is something going on here that isn't normal beyond being a confused old man making a mistake…
    THIS SEEMS LIKE SOMEONE PLAYING THAT HARLEM LOTTERY THING.

35. And all of the officers sped off to their favorite donut shop

36. For all the people who want to blame the cops. Please tell us what you would have done in that situation? "Put the gun down, pretty please?"

37. they were looking for a burglary suspect but they never announced that they were the police

38. What the hell was that old fart thinking?

39. 1559th view.

40. The police should have announced. The gun was "unlawfully owned". How?

41. We have a Lice looking for some hair there on the left

42. Well that video sucked

43. The cop rings the doorbell without identifying himself ?

44. Keyword is elderly male

45. So, they were called there to help the elderly man and killed him without ever announcing themselves as police. They could have yelled that before the door was even opened and this could have been a completely different outcome.

46. Defund the police

47. S&W 5946 used by the first officer… one thing I don’t get about many NYPD officers is 1. The radio why don’t they use speaker mics…? Now there is even Bluetooth wireless mics now… they always have their radio in their hand this 1980s practice has to go away… I see it in almost every NYPD video

48. That cop looks like Carl Winslow from Family Matters.😄

49. Those to officers over reacted. I'm ex-cop. Old man was not an imminent threat and both officers had cover available. However, the way we have been treating cops for the last three years you can't blame them for being jumpy. This is the result of Biden (Obama) and his Woke lefities; they killed this old man.
