An investigation by the New York attorney general's office has cleared NYPD officers in the killing last year of a mentally disturbed man police said was wielding a piece of pipe like a gun.
File-This April 5, 2018, file photo shows hundreds rallying for a march to the 71st Precinct on Empire Boulevard to protest Wednesday's fatal police shooting of Saheed Vassell, a 34-year-old in the Crown Heights neighborhood of the Brooklyn borough of New York. Police officers were “legally justified” in the killing of a mentally disturbed man they said was wielding a piece of pipe like a gun on a New York City street, according to a report on the shooting released Friday, March 29, 2019.
The report said the victim had a history of mental illness, but the officers didn't know about it. It also cited transcripts of 911 calls from witness saying that Vassell was pointing an object that appeared to be a pistol. The killing sparked unrest by protesters saying it was another example of an unarmed black man dying at the hands of police officers.
