The police shot and killed a mentally ill man accused of slashing his roommate's throat yesterday morning in the East New York section of Brooklyn. This comes six days after the police fatally shot a mentally ill Brooklyn teen.
Michael Angel Torres told police that his roommate David Kostovski slashed him with a knife while he was sleeping. The police found Kostovski a few blocks from his Autumn Avenue apartment and saw him holding a broken wine bottle. They asked him to drop the bottle several times, a confrontation the NY Times notes was "heard on the police radio", but police shot Kostovski when he refused and charged them.
Two police officers fired 12 times. A neighbor who lived downstairs said that landlord rented the apartment to mentally ill people, who were placed there by a social workers, and that Torres and Kostovski were always fighting - and always called the police: "They would fight about everything...There was lots of noise, banging, screaming, cursing. That’s why this morning I didn’t think anything about it.” Still, another neighbor told the Times, "These cops got to stop this. They’re shooting people like crazy. These cops have got to be trained to deal with mentally ill people.” The NYPD told the Sun that fatal police shootings have dropped in the past two decades - there were 41 in 1990, with 9 in 2005, 13 in 2006 and 10 this year so far.
And tomorrow is the funeral for Khiel Coppin, the 18-year-old shot by police last week. While a 911 call suggested he had a gun and he seemed to be concealing something during a police confrontation, Coppin was just holding a hairbrush.

The police need to learn to use their nightsticks to deal with mentally ill people.
""another neighbor told the Times, "These cops got to stop this. They’re shooting people like crazy. ""
maybe people should stop antagonizing the police with weapons (or implied weapons)? that would be my suggestion. it's easy, I've managed to avoid doing this my whole life.
"These cops have got to be trained to deal with mentally ill people."
no, they don't. it doesn't matter what your mental state is, if you charge at the police with a weapon you will be and should be shot. they are not psychiatrists.
The photo shows a broken Heineken bottle and the report says it was wine bottle, lets get the graphics straight. The report did not say if it was a red or white wine. Nor did anyone note that police are not clairvoyant and know if the an individual is mentally ill or just fucked up on drugs.
Shoot first and evaluate later I say.
Unless of course someone should suggest a solution such as all mentally ill people be tattooed on their forehead saying, "Heh man I am mentally ill and could be a retard so don't shoot me if I act crazy and point dark objects at you." illuminated with a flashing LED headband when they go out at night.
well done.
So it would be better if this misfit offed his room mate and went to trial saying he was mentally ill and got off offing his room mate? Does that make for a better world for the rest of us to live in?
Sorry it wasn't a murder / suicide.
The police need more options for non-lethal weapons. A net gun would be great against people threatening officers with knives, broken bottles, etc. All it needs to do is entangle an attacker. It wouldn't be good against gun-wielders, but the police can still keep their regular guns for that. The Chinese demonstrated a net gun years ago and it would be effective against everyone, unlike tasers and pepper spray.
Non Lethal weapons huh? How about a gas when dropped on the hood makes them all just nod out? How about a chemical in their water supply that makes them less than the homicidal retards that they are? How about a bus and boat service to take them back to where their ancestors came from? How about cutting off their dicks after their first misdemeanor?
All of the above are non lethal solutions, but appear to be good solutions to the problem.
Snoopy it's just a friggin graphic. Nobody said that he actually used a heineken bottle.
they already are using those techniques,
that's why tropical fantasy cola and grape soda are only .49 in the hood.
Thanks Ratbe for the clarification, for a minute I thought it was an anti Danish racist image being posted. If it was, I was going to ask where is Rev. Albertsan Van Sharpsken?
Do cops ever shoot perps via the legs, arms or groin or is that not taught at the Academie....?
cops used their hands in the past, but that's where police brutality came from
"The Chinese demonstrated a net gun years ago and it would be effective against everyone, unlike tasers and pepper spray."
Yeah, and maybe we can also charge the perp for the bullet we shot him with like the Chinese do.
"Do cops ever shoot perps via the legs, arms or groin or is that not taught at the Academie....?"
You shoot the biggest thing coming at you and thats center mass. A man with a knife (broken bottle) can come at you from 14 feet away in less than 2 seconds.
This isn't the movies - you don't have time to aim for some 6" wide moving target thats coming to slice you up.
And if you don't believe me, go out on the street and glue some C-notes on your chest with a sign that says "free $" and see how fast you can deflect scum coming at you. BECAUSE THATS WHAT ITS LIKE BEING A COP FACING DRUGGED OUT, MENTALLY ILL CRIMINALS.
Oh really? and, who forced them to do that job?
last I've heard this is still a Free Country and you'd like to say.
God Bless the US of A.
When my father was on the force, decades ago, they'd just beat the living crap out of you and then throw you in the car.
Then all the perps started suing about that, so they just shoot you and get away with it.
Ironic, no?

The most unenlightened collection of shit for brains I have ever run across. Try reading something other than a comic book or the sports section of the Post. I am sure you are pleased to have pissed me off for it would be impossible to actually intrigue me, anything that sprang from your pie holes.
And I thought this would be a place for advanced thinking! Yea, if advancing the cause of cavemen...
Good riddance.

what did I do?
IraL,
And Al Sharpton's not? He's a lot fatter than me. Must be from the freebies he gets from the help when he goes to McDonalds.
wow...pot calling the kettle much, there iralarry? did you really need to post that 3 times. idiot...
Computer glitch, my bad. Bye....
the guy has a broken bottle so two copies shoot 6 bullets a piece? don't they carry stun guns? and what about those night sticks? they're not just phallic symbols to dangle from their belts. maybe if cops weren't so out of shape they'd have the strength to take that bottle away. jerk offs.
so the city is placing mentally ill violent patients upstairs from welfare (children) recipients?
nice to know our money is being used effectively.
i read elsewhere that kostovski came grew up in middle class bayside. how on earth did the system place him in such a crime infested neighborhood is beyond me.
this is just one person but there must bemany more.
the city basically doesn't give a shit. children, addicts, mentally ill- place them all together and bill the taxpayer. blame the cops for not fulfilling the role as social program security guard?
bring back the institutions. do ;t put sick pple around crime. with them roaming free they have access to weapons and drugs. i mean why is the city paying rent? are they hoping for this outcome?
unreal!
