BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PIX11) – A bystander who was shot by police officers while they pursued a man accused of fare evasion in a Brooklyn subway station suffered brain damage, sources told PIX11 News on Wednesday.

Officers followed the suspect, Derell Mickles, 37, throughout the Sutter Avenue subway station on Sunday after he allegedly didn’t pay the $2.90 fare, according to the NYPD. He is accused of charging at the officers with a knife, which is when they fired their guns, police said.

2. But trDUMP would give these yeeeeehaaaa cowboys total immunity.

So they can come into work and shoot up the place because someone ran out on a $2.90 subway fare.

So what if a few innocents get shot or killed - the $2.90 subway fare is paramount and must be avenged at any cost even human life.

5. 'His family is looking into hiring a lawyer.'

They're probably having to beat them off with a stick.

Sad he has diminished capacity, but I bet those attorneys all want the job.
