I agree with you, but I want to point to point out that felony murder requires a felony. I don't think turnstile jumping is a felony, but I could be wrong.

Regardless, I don't care if that turnstile jumper was Osama Bin Laden himself, those cops overstepped. Ok, maybe him, but only because it's New York. What the hell did he do for the cops to justify opening fire in a crowded area?
