The Right One to Shoot

The New York City Crime Report with Pat Dixon

IN VIOLENT BROOKLYN, A MACHETE-WIELDING BRONX MAN WIELDED A MACHETE, CHOPPED A DOG AND A DOG'S OWNER, BEFORE BEING SHOT DEAD BY POLICE FOR REFUSING TO STOP WIELDING THE MACHETE.

A NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENT WHO WITNESSED THE CARNAGE ACKNOWLEDGED, ACCORDING TO VIDEO FOOTAGE, THAT NYPD HAD RESPONDED TO THE SITUATION CORRECTLY AND WITHOUT USING TOO MUCH FORCE.

In Midtown, a mob of color on bikes blocked traffic on 5th Ave. at 21st St., surrounded a random BMW and began punching, kicking, jumping on it, attempting to shatter windows, breaking the windshield and ordering the man driving and his terrified elderly mother to "get out!" in a violent, spontaneous attack.

10 blocks away, the same mob had pulled a cab driver out from behind the wheel and beaten him mercilessly, leaving him in the street.

A 16-yr-old accused murderer got a break when a judge released him from jail due to COVID19 concerns, and while he was out, slashed a girl in the stomach. Then the same judge released him AGAIN! He's currently out.

A group of friends roughed up an Asian woman, even punching her in the face, claiming it was because the woman wasn't wearing a mask. Is it a bad sign that a lot people, then, figure it was absolutely justified?

Pluse - Pushed to the tracks, inches away from the 3rd rail, a man is hanging tough.

De Blasio celebrates Kwanzaa.
