"I understand that people were hurt but 30-50 respondants to that seems a bit much." Boy, that sure is rich. A police officer is nearly murdered with a knife stabbing to his head and you bitch about the emergency response to the incident? Seems the NYPD can never win with you insensitive pricks in this bloody city. Absolutely sickening.

Maybe now the MTA will get their asses and reopen the Eastern PKWY exit . See people don't realize that their is only one way in or out of the station . I don't have to get into the whole story here. Everybody that uses that station knows the deal .

My L train pulled into the subway station as this was happening on the J tracks. It was total chaos and I was terrified that it was terrorist-related (sorry, but all of that chaos and sirens hits a trigger in our minds at this point, doesn't it?. I understand that a slashing and shots fired constitutes an emergency, but seriously, if you had seen the amount of cops, firemen, gurneys and chaos you would have thought that a bomb went off. It was ridiculous and people were terrified that didn't know what had happened. They were loading gurney after gurney up the escalators as if piles of people had died and screaming and yelling at people to clear the area, then these commissioner types were storming in and then firemen! I understand that people were hurt but 30-50 respondants to that seems a bit much.

Why does the NY Daily News headline read "Two officers kill man who slashed them"?
