The cops killed the man to stop him from killing himself. Good work officers, mission accomplished. Now go write some more tickets you cowards. Don't subdue the knife wielding man with your tasers or mace....nope , just shoot him. That is why you became a cop right? To kill people.

Please educate yourself before making ignorant statments such as the one above. Obviously you have no knowlege of Article 35 of the NYS Penal law nor do you have any experience or education in law enforcement. When a man wields a knife, he is using deadly force...trying to subdue a person with a taser or "mace" as you call it, is non-deadly force. It is common sense at the very least to know that police officers must match a threat of deadly force with the same force. You must realize that using less than lethal weapons against someone with a lethal weapon doesn't make much sense. Would you try to "mace" or taser someone who was weilding a knife? Would you use a slingshot against someone threatening you with a crowbar? I certainly hope not. Plus, police officers shoot to stop a threat, not to kill. If a person dies as a result of a gunshot wound while being stopped from posing a threat, its unfortunate but unintentional. Please try to educate yourself on these matters before making uninformed and inaccurate comments. Thanks

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Taurus

Try hard not to let money or possessions come between you and a friend today, unless it's over something that has got to be sorted out before it goes any further. For instance, if someone owes you money and has consistently failed to pay it back, this is a good day for mentioning it to them and finding out what's going on. If necessary, you may have to be quite vehement.
