Two New York City police officers who entered a Bronx man’s apartment and fatally shot him when he refused to put down a kitchen knife won’t face internal disciplinary charges.
The officers “acted within the law” in the 2019 shooting death of Kawaski Trawick, Police Commissioner Edward Caban in a Friday statement.
Caban also accused the city’s police oversight board of waiting too long to bring administrative charges against police officers Brendan Thompson and Herbert Davis.
