Broadnax was initially arrested for menacing, drug possession and resisting arrest, but a grand jury said he “recklessly engaged in conduct which created a grave risk of death.” The felony assault charge carries a maximum sentence of 25 years.

They've got PLENTY on him without that charge. Why they feel the need to excuse their lousy shooting is beyond me.

I think the new mayor of NYC will have his work cut out for him.
