Kelly also met with Harlem community members yesterday, later saying, "We don’t know the sequence of events. Sometimes the body turns, twists as a result of being shot. This is not an unusual circumstance," and said there was no evidence so far that Edwards was shot in the back. And Patrolman's Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch also visited the Edwards family. Lynch said of Dunton, "He just cries constantly."

The NY Times looks at how black officers "face a special peril." Former police captain and current State Senator Eric Adams explained, "This is the most Shakespearean aspect of policing. Your greatest fear is to be shot and slain on duty, and that’s only matched by your fear of shooting another officer... If you speak with nine out of 10 officers of color they would tell you that when they hear sirens, in their head they are thinking: ‘I hope these cops know that I’m one of the good guys.’"

As for the car break-in suspect Edwards had been chasing? The Post reports Miguel Goitia (he used the alias Santiago) was asleep during his arraignment on auto-stripping charges. The judge held him on $50,000 bail, "If these allegations are true, then but for your conduct, a brave and decent police officer, a husband and father, would not have lost his life."
