    My boss at work had it happen to him.

    He's a very deep Christian brotha, the cops were at the wrong address, came in with guns blazing in the middle of the night.

    Mary Mitchell did a story on the incident, no lawsuit was brought against the city.

    Eleanor Bumpurs (August 22, 1918 - October 29, 1984) was an African-American woman who was shot dead by police officers called to assist her city-ordered eviction from her apartment in the Bronx on October 29, 1984. The city Housing Authority was evicting her because she was four months behind in her rent of $96.85 per month. In requesting NYPD assistance, housing authority workers told police that Bumpurs was emotionally disturbed, had threatened to throw boiling lye, and was using a knife to resist eviction. When Bumpurs refused to open the door, police broke in. In the struggle to subdue her, one officer shot Bumpurs twice with a 12-gauge shotgun.[1][2]

    Two supervisors in the city's Social Services administration were later demoted for failing to seek an emergency rent grant for Bumpurs and for not getting her proper psychiatric aid.[2]

    You omitted the part immediately before she was shot, where she (at 275 pounds) knocked down a cop and was standing over him with the knife raised...

    Also, here's what lye will do to a face: Lye eats off man's face

    I'm not condoning her murder, but she wasn't going quietly and she was a threat, to be sure...
