Mayor Calls 50 Shots By The Police "Unacceptable"


New York, NY: Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a meeting today with civic and religious leaders that the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black man in Queens was “inexplicable” and “unacceptable".

"Fifty shots to kill an unarmed black man? WE will have a full and complete investigation of all event surrounding this matter. There should have been at least 18 shots per officer. That was the standard we set back in 1999, dammit, and I won't see expectations fall on my watch."
