And although it did not happen in my district. there was an incident where the New York City Police Department. a street unit. fired 41 shots at a young man: and a large number hit him. of course. and he was killed. We do not use the word "killed." He was murdered. Because there was no real reason why a man standing in a doorway. innocent. no record. no violent crime had been committed in that immediate vicinity during that particular period. and suddenly an innocent man. who happened to be an immigrant from Guinea. was killed in cold blood. Of course. if this stood by itself as one lone incident where four policemen emptied their guns on an African in New York City it would not have caused the furor that it caused. But there were other incidents recently.
