A taxing-to-witness case emerged via the newest body camera footage in which the youngster that is 19-year-old Win Rozario was shot dead in Queens by NYPD officers. The graphic video, which shook the whole country, has become a reason for tough national reflections between those who criticize the police for their tremendous cruelty and those who defend the actions of law enforcement.

The same day, at three o’clock P.M., Officer Salvatore Alongi and Officer Matthew Cianfrocco arrived at 103rd Street, at the intersection with 101 Ave, due to a 911 call. Rozario, who supposedly was holding a pair of scissors, and the officers were said to be left with no other choice except to shoot at him when they faced him.

The phone footage depicts Rozario’s younger brother informing the officers out in front of their Goodhue St house that his brother was ending a mental health episode. She rushed at the police officers with the scissors, an act that made the situation even more reckless. Even while Rozario’s mom wrestled the scissors away from Rozario and the taser being used, the enactment produced aggravating results.

Within the officer’s duel with the family members, Rozario fired several shots. Their family proceeded to give out a statement in which the police officers were accused of coldly murdering Rozario, and they demanded the officers be fired and prosecuted for the crime.

The NYPD manifested the state attorney general’s investigation as it assured that they worked evenly with it and held fast to a comprehensive review. The police officers whose encounter ended in this incident are now being given modified assignments while the investigation is being undertaken further.

 The publication of this important footage has, then, propelled a wider talk on how the police should deal with individuals in difficult emotional and mental situations.
