Usually the streets in mid-town Manhattan are literally, shoulder to shoulder with people. Summer it's worse with all the tourists and then there's the traffic - which is bumper to bumper all day long. Traffic moves, but it's just that congested.
I am not going to chide them too much given the crowd factor. It's easy for armchair cops and soldiers to point out "you're not doing it right". It also doesn't excuse the fact they obviously didn't train very well for crowds, didn't practice their aim, and didn't practice controlling their fire.
However, there is a DELICIOUS irony and schadenfreude in this given Mayor Bloomfuck's political and gun control inclinations. His vaunted foot soldiers and enforcers are out fucking up the peasantry he claims to protect!
At the end of the day, I am not going to go overboard in criticizing these cops. I think they know they are in some shit enough already.
