Change the title to "New Yorkers need just a knife and a bit of pot to scare an army of cops"
Police don't shoot to wound. ... police fired 12 times Saturday and only seven rounds found their target, the rest went wild and fortunately didn't ricochet or find an innocent bystander. And instead of reading headlines about how brutal the NYPD was in Times Square, maybe we'd all be reading about how a stray bullet killed an innocent little old lady on vacation, or worse yet, a little kid.
Everything clear? That is typical business insider logic: If these policemen with their 58% "success" quota had not executed that sick man, then a little kid might have been killed by a flying knife magically transforming into a stray bullet 
P.S.: "Police don't shoot to wound" is not my text, it's Business Insider. They seem to be proud of it.
Note that BI seems to be a very special "newspaper":
Paul Ryan's Most Charming Moments
Apart from being a U.S. Representative from Wisconsin, and now the running mate of presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan is a workout freak, a huge Green Bay Packers fan, and was once the driver of the "Oscar Mayer Weinermobile."
While Romney has been accused of being too impersonal and not being able to connect with regular people, Ryan is all about charming his audience with his personality.
Seems a story from a different planet. Fortunately, some Europeans and U.S. citizens can still communicate in assembler
(Excuse my curiosity: How exactly makes driving the "Oscar Mayer Weinermobile" qualify for the post of vice president?? And: Is that a typical car for those who
"live in a six-bedroom, seven-bathroom, 2.5 story, brick home built in the Georgian revival style"? In Europe, owners of such houses would drive a Bentley (in UK), a Mercedes (elsewhere) or a Ferrari (if under 60)...)
