So the dude is running in and out of traffic in New York City. Bunch of people gather around. Cops show up, the guy reaches in his pocket...BLAM BLAM BLAM!! But they MISS the guy completely. Instead, they hit two women standing around watching the fun. They do tase him, though.
Now they've charged the guy with two counts of assault - each with a possible penalty of 25 years - because they say he caused the mayhem and that the injuries were HIS fault, not the fault of the officers firing while around a crowd.
Meanwhile, the officers are getting a paid vacation - suspended with pay.
Love me some New York City cop stories.
