The NYPD released body-worn camera footage from a shooting at a Brooklyn subway station where a fare-beater allegedly charged at officers with a knife. Two bystanders were also hit, with one in critical condition. The suspect, Derrell Mickles, pleaded not guilty and his lawyer argued there was disproportionate force used by the police. Video showed Mickles armed with a knife, refusing to drop it, and ultimately shot by officers. The shooting led to criticism from police reform advocates and prompted protests. Mayor Eric Adams defended the officers’ actions, saying they showed discipline and tried to deescalate the situation. The mayor faced backlash for his stance, with critics calling the shooting reckless. The NYPD said the shooting occurred after Mickles brandished a dangerous weapon and put officers’ lives at risk. The incident highlighted the ongoing debate over police use of force and accountability in New York City.
