Earlier today, one of our officers was shot while protecting our subway system. I am relieved to report he is in good condition now, and we have arrested the suspect who put so many lives in danger. I cannot thank these officers enough for their bravery. pic.twitter.com/nSLDTyZwkj

cops lie. all the damn time. and a bunch of local media ate that shit up and reported the lie the NYPD told about the victim brandishing a knife to justify the mass shooting they did on the L train. wonder how much coverage this part of the story will get. https://t.co/qNiHW0iHlI
