City Council Member Sandy Nurse expressed serious concerns about the police response, emphasizing that reckless violence should never be an option over fare evasion, stating "A person's life is worth more than a $2.90 fare." She called for an independent investigation into the incident and the public release of body cam footage to evaluate the events leading to the shooting.
Questions arose regarding the effectiveness of the NYPD's response, particularly why their Taser devices failed just moments before the shooting. This incident marks a troubling pattern, as it follows closely on the heels of another shooting where Tasers did not incapacitate the subject.
