Four people were injured Sunday afternoon at a Brooklyn subway stop in what started as officers’ attempts to apprehend a man accused of skipping the station turnstile.

This likely means that the knife never existed in the first place, and was made up by the cops in order to justify shooting into a crowd.

    I was gonna make a joke about Chris Rock’s video guide with this exact scenario, but nah this actually exceeds that skit because:

    1. The guy was apparently unarmed, meaning he actually followed what the guide said
    2. The police decided murder was preferable to a beating, for jumping a subway turnstile
