This likely means that the knife never existed in the first place, and was made up by the cops in order to justify shooting into a crowd.

The initial “he had a knife!” was a distraction, certainly. But now it brings us back to the meat of the matter - the NYPD lies on impulse about everything in order to cover their asses.
At this point, who even fucking knows if he actually jumped a turnstile or if the police just decided to chase after and harass a guy who’d legally paid his fare?
I’ve got family in Manhattan and Queens. Fucking horrifying to think one of them might have been caught in the middle of this. Unfortunately, my NY family cannot stop having a hard-on for the cops. Given the deluge of far-right media around the incident and the degree to which the lies of the police are embellished and added on to by even less reputable talk radio goons and social media crackpots, I doubt this will change their view of what happened.
A demon-man used his magic knife to force two police officers to shot into a crowd, and only the brave champions of law and order were able to stop him.
Not just NYPD. ACAB
