Another Knife-Wielding Maniac Charges Police In NYC, Because Progressive Utopia Is Going Great

Police had to confront and kill a knife-wielding maniac in New York City on Friday. This came just days after a different maniac went on a stabbing rampage, killing one person and wounding another in Times Square. 

City leaders remain shocked that this keeps happening while defunding the police is never off the table to leftists.

The man was first seen walking on the Brooklyn Bridge cables around 3:30 a.m. Officers scaled the bridge to talk him into coming down safely. That turned into a standoff. The man lunged at them and made threats.

“He stated, ‘I want to die, I want you to kill me, I have a bomb, you’re not going to make me do something bad to the cops,’” NYPD’s Emergency Services Unit (ESU) Assistant Chief Gerard Dowling, told reporters.

Officers spent nearly one hour asking the man to drop his weapon and come down. They tried to reason with a guy who said he wanted to die and might have a bomb. 

Then the knife-wielding man started coming down the cables. He lunged at one officer when he got within three feet. “At that point, a member of ESU who was on the roadbed of the bridge discharged his weapon one time, striking the man,” Dowling said.

The man was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead. All Brooklyn-bound lanes of the bridge shut down during peak Friday morning commute hours. 

This incident came after another knife attack in New York City on Monday. 

Erin Piacenti, a young wife and new mother who had just returned from maternity leave to her VP job at Bank of America, was stabbed and killed by a mentally disturbed woman. A handful of leftists cheered the murder because of the victim's bank position, just like they did when Luigi Mangione shot and killed Brian Thompson, a CEO for UnitedHealthcare.

Another unidentified man in the Piacenti incident was also injured and taken to the hospital. He was released on Tuesday. Police fatally shot the attacker, 49-year-old Pamela Cisneros, who was armed with two kitchen knives. Cisneros, from Queens, had previous outbursts tied to her mental state. She refused repeated commands to drop the knives when officers confronted her near an NYPD substation.

“During the encounter, she told the officers, ‘I’m not dropping anything. I would rather kill both of you.’ She repeated, ‘I will kill you,’” NYPD Chief, Jessica Tisch said during a press briefing.

Several weeks before that, there was another stabbing near Times Square. A man was stabbed in the head during an argument inside a subway station. Officials are sure the next round of sensitivity training and reduced police presence will fix everything.
