license plate readers. Police calls are generated from whatever other public surveillance systems NY uses. Also by quotas, some police have to 'stop' a number of people each day to meet their quota.

Police are very fast responding to robberies these days and like in this case, robbers tend to be armed and shoot.

There will be many more of these 'first contacts' that end in violence for police & citizens due to the technology used, speed of response and quotas.

The man who police murdered during an asthma attack had 30 prior citations.

No wonder the man was upset, he probably had thousands of dollars in court fines and had a court bill to pay every month. Another ticket just means more 'fines' and a tick on 6? officers quota requirement.
