Man Shot Dead By New York Police

Man Shot Dead By New York Police After Bachelor Party

More than 50 Shots were fired into vehicle

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg expressed his displeasure in a news conference on Monday. See report here.

What caught my attention was the fact that (according to reports) some of the undercover officers admitted that they had been drinking- "Had a few beers".

You are not allowed to operate a motor vehicle after a few drinks. So how in the hell can you be allowed to use a firearm after a few drinks? First of all, you should not be allowed to even have a firearm while drinking, despite the policies that the NYPD has in place to allow it.
