Dan, Yep, from now on it's not only gonna be how many people killed since Sean Bell, but also How Many Shots It Took To Kill That Person. So the StatShot for this one is HMPKSSB: 2 HMSITTKTP: 12

I don't understand why they had to shoot the guy. He was just going to ax his son something.

I can even go further back in NY history - remember Eleanor Bumpurs? She was a mentally ill woman who threatened cops with a kitchen knife in 1984.

That's actually a hatchet in your picture. An axe has a full handle. (longer) Maybe that's what the dude had, but if so, it's not an axe.
