Harlem man survives being shot 21 times by NYPD

hard to yell stop police when your getting shot at! I am sure the plain clothes cops were along side uniformed officers. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to put that together.

Plus he was observed shooting somebody, that's what started the whole thing.

I guess NYPD needs bigger guns.

When's he gonna put out a RAP record?

I think the officers need more time at the range. 21 hits (never mind how many missed) to take down one guy and they didn't hit a vital organ?

I guess this guy was just plain lucky, certainly luckier than the black immigrant shot DEAD by NYC undercover cops a number of years ago in an apartment building lobby when he reached inside his coat to produce ID.

That unfortunate soul was shot a total of 25 or more times by 4 or 5 plainclothes cops, who may or may not have identified themselves. Why, he even had gunshot entry wounds in the SOULS of his feet, indicating the police gunfire continued after the "suspect" had fallen flat on the ground, already dead or dying!

Only in America!!

It 'aint easy to hit a moving target at distance with a pistol. Especially when being shot at.

true dat!

Plus most cops carry at least 45 rounds of 40 cal ammo. It's a shame not to use at least half of them.

What! Have you not seen the movies, which all depict real life, where you can shoot someone with a pistol on the move whilst diving for cover and take them out with a head shot!

And a warning shot creased his brow.....

Hu, nothing said about the distance the cops were shooting at, but that is either the luckiest criminal or the worst case of police marksmanship ever...

Not that I'm an expert with shooting short guns, I have a few, but have never really worked hard to become really proficient with them, but me thinks I could kill a dude given fifty+ shots.

The one thing no one has commented on...this whole thing was started over two guys arguing over, yep, just like in the movies, a woman. One guy gets shot at a party over a fight about a woman, the guy who shot him gets turned into Swiss Cheese by the cops because he shot a guy over a fight about a woman. We get kicked out of the garden of Eden for eating the forbidden fruit who was given to unsuspecting us by, you guessed it, a woman. I'm sensing a pattern here... (I'll leave it up to ya'll as to what pattern you think is happening... )

Some times we just want to scare them by missing QBC.

21 shots! That must have been an accident. Now if it was 22 shots...

See that's why they should be issued grenades....................you just need to be close.
