Alvarez released from hospital, arrested

This is the guy shot 20 times by the police. One week later, he’s out of the hospital. How is that possible!? From the Times:

The police have arrested Mr. Alvarez on charges of attempted murder, attempted assault in the first degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and criminal use of a firearm in the second degree.

Is it just me, or does anybody else think that perhaps you should just get a free pass if you’re shot twenty times by police… and live.

  1. Any man who survives a trial by ordeal such as this can't possibly be guilty.

    FREE ALVAREZ

  2. Or they could find him guilty and sentence him to being shot twenty times. And then release him for the bullet equivalent of "time served."

  3. There's more crazy stuff about this story.

    The NYPD shot and killed one guy accidentally, wounded two of their own officers and two more people who must have been bystanders.

    Here comes the crazy part:

    The officers involved still managed to hit their target three times as often as the average hit percentage for NYPD officer involved shootings.

  4. I suggest the NYPD be armed with "holy water" in the future.

    This guy obviously has supernatural powers. Maybe a silver bullet?

    I just dunno.

  5. It is beginning to look like Angel Alvarez was an innocent victim. Nothing to see here . . .

  6. An innocent victim? Except when he was chasing down Soto to kick his ass!

    Except when he was packing heat and got caught.

    Except when he tried to run over police officers.

    Except for all the things he did but didn't get caught.

    Innocent victim? My ass.

  7. If the police aren't telling the truth on this one, what makes you think they were telling the truth on previous encounters?
