    A shower head. Police told the Daily News that the NYPD shot a man who had a shower head in his hand. People in the neighborhood said the victim was widely known to be mentally ill but that cops rolled up on him and shot him in an instant.pic.twitter.com/rLpzcugaOL

        This shit is becoming ridiculous. Don't become a cop if you are scared of your own shadow.

        Why are the police allowed to shoot on sight w/ warning and attempts to deescalate? Looks like we're still considered 3/5 of a human. People treat their pets better.

        If it’s okay (legal) to have a gun, why do police shoot you when they ‘think’ you have one?

        He was pointing it at them like a gun. I would’ve shot him if I was the officer.

        This is sad. I'm glad there is no mention of race. The tragedy is hurtful. Reflection on the love and life of the man suffering from an illness should be the focus, respective to his family. Transparency to the family is Paramount, imo. Insert DOJ.

        Hate to say it but the more and more this happens to unarmed citizens. It might just start happening to armed cops. I DON’T want that to happen AT ALL but it just might......Food for thought.

        Generally when I see someone holding a shower head in their hand, my first thought is “Kill or be killed.” 😡

        I'm having a rough time with this one, after seeing the photos of the stance he took when officers rolled up, I can actually see them being *fearful*. The man wasn't well but given today's climate he should've known better. Then I'm like fuck these cops...😞
