I think they could have tried to wait a 107 year old with no hostages out for a little while.

something about this story sounds off. Either the police are lying or this wa s one of the best put together centenarians on the planet. I lean towards bt, but if this is the truth, then I'm sorry bt, you can't fire on police multiple times and have them be okay with it when they've tried two nonlethal methods.
NYPD Internal Affairs Officer Admits To Being On Scene During Biker Melee
don't get me started on this one. As you know I'm a nyer, from the moment this story hit the press everyone who lived here knew something was up. No cops for six full minutes on the west side highway? Impossible. Cops chase bikers for the easy tickets, and iirc this was the start of the month- ticket quotas must be met. Both sides lawyered up quickly, and there were already two people they thought were the people responsible that were released. There's a lot wrong here on every side. I don't think the guy should have been beaten up, and I don't think he should have run people over either and I don't think the cop(s) there should have turned a blind eye.

not sure this belongs here- fraud is on the part of the shysters, not the government, although I understand if you are no fan of the aca.

I'm not implying that it's OK to shoot at cops or anyone else for no reason. I just don't see why they couldn't have tried securing the house and waiting him out. He is a 107 years old. How long could he have held out? There may have been a compelling public safety reason to kill him that I'm not aware of, but I'm not seeing it.

this is quite misleading- the operator makes about 45k a year. Poorly written and I'd bet a years supply of donuts that if they fired the operators this story would be about big government killing jobs.

if I'm reading the article correctly, then he had already taken hostages- I'm thinking he was unhinged in some way. Its a damn shame they killed him, but I don't think they were wrong in doing so.

I think it's all part of deep culture of corruption in the NYPD, but I have a number of biases on this issue that tend to compound.

I don't think its just the cops. Someone somewhere screwed the pooch. I don't even necessarily buy how this whole thing started.

I think massive government programs tend to invite fraud and waste from Medicare to the pentagon, but I tend to think Obamacare will go particularly badly.

I have to agree that the article is poorly written and unclear, but I doubt this site would cry about the loss of these jobs. ;)

I tend to think that a patient approach would have been better, but this could be suicide by cop for all I know.
I suspect this is part of the trend of more aggressive militant police enforcement, but that's pure speculation on my part.
But it's not really Obamacare fraud. It's con artists taking advantage of the uninformed and trusting. You see it with all sorts of things, government related or not. This is no different than spam fishing, nigerian check cashing, or any other fraud.I think massive government programs tend to invite fraud and waste from Medicare to the pentagon, but I tend to think Obamacare will go particularly badly.Reports of Obamacare fraud emerge in Tennesseenot sure this belongs here- fraud is on the part of the shysters, not the government, although I understand if you are no fan of the aca.
Fair enough.
I think we will see a lot more direct Obamacare fraud, but time will tell.

I'm quite sure we will but that's not obamacares fault or anyone's other than the people trying to scam others. If someone defrauds another, you can't hold what they used to defraud them with at fault for simply existing- otherwise we all woulfd have sued the nigerian royal family by now
Why are we still wasting tax dollars on this stupidity?
And I guarantee you that 'traditional' tax cheating and avoidance will cost more then undeserved ACA subsidies.But it's not really Obamacare fraud.

I definitely think our current tax system is a disaster, but that hardly makes Obamacare good.
No idea. There are a lot of people here who think bloomy did it (started a ban) to make money off it in the long run (I.e. bought stock in soda companies).
