Another grim reminder that this is central Brooklyn. I was headed on an errand and some blocks away, a section of a major thoroughfare was cut off by police. Turns out someone was shot and killed by police about 6 hours prior.
Cops fatally shot a man who charged them with a knife in Brooklyn early Monday, authorities said.

First pic shows the subway station where the man ran in and cops attempted to Taser him twice--with no effect. The second unfortunately shows the markers for the bullet casings where the man died on the street. I think he may have been blitzed on some substance as it's very unusual for two Tasers to have no effect. But I'm speculating.
A little comic relief: I was walking toward that subway station when I heard a really loud voice right behind me. I "casually" veered off and then took this picture--it's a cop from the Strategic Response unit and unlike what the pic shows, was a very large dude. I felt like one of those pigeons you encounter on the sidewalk, scuttling this way and that way, ultimately heading away from you.
