Yes it was - Police: All Empire State shooting victims were wounded by officers

The official media-friendly narrative explaining yesterday's latest tragic shooting incident in midtown Manhattan in which a recently unemployed Jeffrey Johnson, 58, walked up to his former boss and shot him three times point blank before "calmly" walking away, is that Johnson also shot 9 other people, luckily none fatally, before being taken down by the NYPD. Sadly, as so often happens these days, the "media-friendly" narrative is wrong, and as CBS and Guardian report, Johnson did not fire during the quote unquote shootout, in which at least nine other perfectly innocent were hit, all of them by stray NYPD bullets.

From CBS: "Police said it is unlikely that Johnson fired during the shootout." Uhm, then isn't shootout a somewhat inaccurate word? "One witness told investigators that Johnson fired, but ballistics tests don’t back that up, authorities said... At least nine other people on the street were also shot, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it is unclear whether they were shot by the suspect or police. “Some may have been shot accidentally by police officers who responded immediately,” Bloomberg said." In other words of the (at least) 11 people shot yesterday, 2 of whom fatally, the NYPD was responsible for 10 of those shot, 9 of whom were literally "collateral damage" in a non-shoot out, and should be sacrificing various animals to their assorted guns that the NYPD, in missing their designated target, is at least quite atrocious in hitting any major organs. All of which of course begs the question: is a hit-to-miss (and potentially hit-to-casualty) ratio of less than 10% for New York's finest really acceptable and is this the kind of statistic that NY City wishes to boast in enticing new tourists?

Below is a graphic complete clip of what happened around 9 am yesterday:

And some more on what really transpired via the Guardian:...

    • Bloomberg spent ten million of his own money to build a hospital in Izrael. What has he done for his own city ? Where is this traitor's loyalty ? What is his personal agenda ? What is his connection to Sheldon Adelson. What is his view on free speech and organized protest? Has he ever acknowledged Rachel Corrie's right to not be murdered ? That hospital he built was not for victims of Israeli state sponsered Terrorism or for any palestinian or American dissident.

    • This certainly strengthens my argument that mote guns is not the answer. If well trained police officers are not capable of firing their guns without hitting innocent people then why should we expect untrained civilians to be any better?

      If I am ever in a position where a lone gunman is shooting into a crowd I will feel a little safer knowing the bullets are coming from only one direction.

      "Untrained civilians."

      Umm, unless we are living under martial law, I believe the police are civilians as well.

      And even a moderate -once a month to the shooting range- gun enthusiast would have shot better than these trigger happy idiots who apparently can't hit a target from 8 feet away.

      If anything this shows the insanity of the idea that only the police should have guns.

      To serve and protect?

      Who is going to protect you from the police state lunatics who have no qualms about randomly spraying bullets into a crowded sidewalk, to kill a suspected murderer who already got what he came for and is calmly walking away from the scene.

    • The NY police showed they were a gang during the occupy movement. They should be paying big law suits due to what happened then and now.

    • This is inexcusable, what an abominable mess!
      I hope at east this will launch a long overdue reform of the Police,
      they are just good at hurting civilians, from pepper spaying 80yos to random shoot in crowed environment!

      this is calling for mass resignation and serious investigation

    • Maybe Raymond "Police State" Kelly should spend more time training his "troops" and less time watching the people on his cameras.

    • This is somewhere where more gun control (regulating the Police) would have helped tremendously. I'm typically on the side of less gun control, except for NYC where the situation is... well, Unique. The sheer density of the city amounts to a need for a completely different type of regulation, and some acknowledgement on all sides that with the higher population density, crazy shit is gonna happen regardless.

      Bloomberg continually fucks up as mayor, and his staunch stance going after guns is a total failure and should point to some of the REAL underlying causes of the violence: Desperation due to tantamount negative feedback in the social environment. Call it gas prices, the establishment, 1%ers vs 99%, food prices, natural disasters, the shit job market... The root of all of our problems is not any 'one' thing or person. It is the social fabric that is being torn down around us (I would argue that it's by design), and the fact that we're actually turning against each other when we SHOULD be banding together.

    • There seem to be an inordinate number of suspicious provocative shootings and it smells like a conspiracy in progress. The New World Order will wish to deprive us of any and all personal power as a matter of course, to facilitate a smoother transition to minority rule. One would assume that this would include the confiscation of firearms, like in our former slave master's Kingdom of England. Who is advocating these draconian measures ?

      I don't know about ' God's Will' ,but when you look at R-Money and Lyin'
      Ryan, their campaign financeers and the agenda, which is the same as Mike Bloomberg's.Gestapo Police State, then I would hope for a Massive Cat. 5 to hit Tampa, followed by a similar Perfect storm to swamp NYC..

      Short of a natural disaster that could not be blamed on the progressives, I'd just let them drown themselves in their egos, lies and greed. Perhaps this is what will happen. They certainly are the WOLVES and the rest of us the 99 % are the SHEEP.. Personally I will always keep my head above water for obvious reasons,

      Here is my song:

      NoS

      Nation

      My nation

      Of Sheep

      Led by wolves

      Ruled by thieves

      Baa Baa-Bah ah ah

      BaaaBaaa

      Sheep

      Led by wolves

      Puppet Masters

      Howling proud they

      Piss on the bleating city

      Shear our wool and

      Slaughter our meat

      Fuel their fortunes

      And our poverty

      Baa Baa-Bah ah ah

      BaaaBaaa

      Sheep Sheep

      Led by wolves

      Trillionaires

      Enslave mankind

      With usury

      Capitalize

      Corporate crimes

      It’s treason

      and tyranny.

      Baa Baa-Bah ah ah

      BaaaBaaa

      Sheep Sheep

      Led by wolves

      Fooled by Thieves

      Wall Street Pigs

      And Fascist Cops

      Frisk n’ shit kick ev’rybody they stop

      Got Peppa’sprayed n’ maced in the face

      Whoa li’l honey

      Let’s get ouuta’ this place

    • I think it's safe to say, that according to this situation, for everything that transpired, guns did more harm than good. And I'm just keeping it real. If trained police officers couldn't hit someone in broad daylight, that wasn't shooting back at them, I wonder what would of happened if more guns were incorporated into the tragedy that took place in Colorado

    • These cops will jump at any opportunity to just start blasting away. This is your new Homeland Security at work. Security for whom?

      That's what I'm saying, a part of me thinks they just wanted to shoot. And your right, security for who? Even if you haven't done anything wrong you can still be shot by the police, luckily it wasn't at night [thumbs up]

      It just seems like it's open season on regular people, Matlock. These cops turned what should've been a simple revenge killing into another media fueled mass shooting by a "crazed gunman."

      Exactly. NYPD has always been one of the most corrupt law enforcement agencies in the country. Why do you think there has been so many movies about just that?

      And when you add all of that extra Homeland Security surveillance to the mix, (which the NYPD operates), things begin to get scary. Commissioner Kelly has way too much power.

    • I read this on an update on Politico yesterday and was wondering if the mainstream media were going to mention it....or actually give it any coverage at all.....

      Smells like lawsuit.....

    • Interesting that the police shot this guy dead in the streets but the Batman killer was calmy detained by the police after allegedly shooting up a theater full of moviegoers.
