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.

    Hey now, don’t worry. I’m sure this will all be cleared up when the bodycam footage is released and it clearly shows the police being menaced with a knife… right?

      Does the MTA not have security cameras? I live in Boston where the system is an antique (literally, in one part) and we have cameras on all platforms and all new trains.

      (Granted, we did also face that bombing a few years ago that probably was used to justify the funding for it.)
