The NYPD released late Tuesday evening the body camera footage from the controversial Queens police shooting last month of a knife-wielding man in mental distress, placing further scrutiny on the role of cops in psychiatric emergencies.
The full video shows two officers from the 107th Precinct arriving at the Briarwood home of Jabez Chakraborty around 10:25 a.m. on Jan. 25. Chakraborty’s mother greeted them at the door and let them inside when Jabez appeared from the kitchen in the rear of the residence, brandishing a knife.
