The five cops that were involved in the shooting of three unarmed men were put on administrative leave yesterday. Cops say a total of 50 shots were fired into the car of the three men.
There are still more questions than answers in the story and one alleged eye witness tells a very different story than the official version. According to the cops an undercover detective put his foot on the front of the car, identified himself as the police and ordered the men to show him their hands. That’s when they tried to run him over. The car then backed up into a bodega’s security gate and tried to ram the cop again triggering the barrage of bullets.
That’s not what happened according to Trini Wright, one of the dancers at the club the men had just left who says the cops opened fire without warning. Wright says she was going to a diner with the men and was putting her makeup bag in the trunk when the incident began.
“The minivan came around the corner and smashed into their car. And they [the cops] jumped out shooting,” Wright told The Daily News. “No ’stop.’ No ‘freeze.’ No nothing.”
The police department’s policy on shooting at moving vehicles states: “Police officers shall not discharge their firearms at or from a moving vehicle unless deadly force is being used against the police officers or another person present, by means other than a moving vehicle.”
