New York Police Department Chief of Transit Edward Delatorre, in a statement posted to Twitter, said the man in the video ran into the train car after being approached by officers who had been told by a credible witness that he was armed with a gun. The man managed to flee to the next subway stop where the train was held so officers could take him into custody. Yeah because Police never ever lie so we would have no basis to make that claim. Okay, so in this specific story are you going to accuse the police of lying, or in this specific instance is it likely that they were actually responding to a guy who fled and made it to the next stop who they believed may have been armed? It's pretty much a Boy Who Cried Wolf scenario at this point. If police collectively prove themselves to be untrustworthy, they can't blame the public for refusing to trust them even in cases where they're not lying. Is it, though? Or is it that out of the tens of thousands of arrests made daily, the ones where nobody is lying don't make the news?And then in cases where they aren't lying, even after everyone assumes they are, the story gets buried and nobody talks about it anymore.
