I vote for stricter cop control

So it looks like the suspect didn't shoot anyone after shooting his intended target - his ex-boss - and everyone else was shot by the cops

Crazy white folks going postal again.
- I really do not think it is a white or black thing. Why would you say that? Because the media puts more focus on when a white person goes postal?rson

I do not think I could take out my phone and snap a fucking pic of someone lying there dead. Seems classless.

Only 2 people died. Not really big news. Go back to your cubicles.
- Really? Did you grow up in a ghetto or something that 2 people were a normal thing? geeznumero1

only two people in the most heavily touristed area.
- Exactly. Could have been a LOT worse, and 1 of the dead is the shooter? This happens all over the world everyday.CygnusZero4

16 fucking rounds. The two cops shot that many bullets at a man who may or may not have fired at them first. So damn irresponsible it makes me sick! 16? That's beyond protection, that's sadistic. I hope these cops get fired for this shit. I'm also sorry to hear about your loss, e-, another friend of mine knew Steve too.

11:24 AM EST: In a press conference, Mayor Mike Bloomberg says some of the victims may have been shot accidentally by police.

i just found out today, the man killed by that idiot guy.. was a good friend of mine, an ex coworker, whom i had worked with for 7 and a half years in 2 separate companies. he was such a nice guy.. always had the girls with him, always had a smile on.. he was a great salesman.. he got me one of my best freelance gigs in my career.. he was only a few years older than me.. i cant believe this happened to him.. my ex boss emailed me the bad news.. this is such sad news to receive... i really liked him, he was funny, smart, and had a great heart.. he would give you the world.. so sad to see a friend be murdered by some idiot with a gun.. i fucking hate guns.

You do wonder about the bystanders. You'd think there would be some pretty large lawsuits for that.
Cops here unload all the time. Insanity, imho, the faster you fire, the less accurate you'll be.
Also is further evidence that citizens with guns would simply massacre each other. I can just see a bunch of people pulling guns, then more pulling guns and everyone starts aiming at each other 'cause non one knows who the hell the "bad" guy is, just a bunch of idiots with guns...and everyone just shoots each other.
It'll happen sometime.

We are not immune to being disarmed and helpless in such event.
9 people shot by cops...Mental Note: Its safer to be shot by police.
