On Tuesday, New York’s mayor, Eric Adams, a former police officer, said during a news briefing that he discussed the case with the police commissioner, who said that Cordero was being “violent” and “volatile”.
“Officers feared for their lives as the suspect was clearly armed with *checks notes* a baby.”

Ex-Georgia Deputy Acquitted After Flash Bang Grenade Hurts Toddler
NYT story with quite a bit more complete context, but there’s still a little gap in the footage of their story. See if you can spot it:
- He was in a verbal disagreement with employees
- One of the employees punched him in the face
- His family and the police show up simultaneously
- His wife gives him his 1-year-old child to hold
- ???
- He and police are fighting
I want to see the bodycam footage
One of the employees punched him in the face
Just for context - this is what his side of the story is, it’s not “fact” yet.
Tru dat
What the hell was a toddler doing holding a migrant in the first place?
Toddler was using him as meat shield.
Tasers just let cops shoot people without pulling out thier gun. They don’t need to bother with de-escalation when a “non lethal” weapon can do it for them.
Less lethal*
Lethal is lethal. Less than lethal*
There are varying degrees of lethality. Some things kill nearly 100% of the time, while others kill less frequently.
Getting stabbed isn’t guaranteed to be lethal, but that doesn’t mean that knives are “less than lethal”. They’re still lethal.
There are not varying degrees of death.
They’re called that way because unlike a knife, they dont “kill less frequently” but “don’t kill” (at least by design).
You can’t be less dead. You can be less than dead. Plus I was intentionally making a pedantic asterisk because he did one, i dont really care if it’s right to what he implied.
I think the point they’re trying to make is that tasers have in fact killed numerous people. Though at a lower rate than a traditional firearm. They’re lethal less often.
Oh and some sauce: 500 deaths over a decade is near 1 death a week on average.
My best friend has a pacemaker. A tazer would kill him before he hit the floor.
Huh you people don’t know how kind the pig is atleas he didn’t flat out shoot the baby.
Hateful, biased comments like this are why I don’t even tell anyone I use Lemmy.
You can stop using lemmy and we won’t mind. Fucking bootlicker.
Yep no one’s gonna miss them
And so can you, useful idiot.
Oooh, that pig-dildo must be hurting lot down there.
The Kremlin and CCP love people like you, are they paying you to post this divisive and hateful garbage?
No one cares go back to licking boots boo
