Larry Davis was a convicted criminal who shot 6 NYPD officers during a raid that was conducted after he was suspected in the deaths of several drug dealers. His trial sparked controversy, because he claimed that the raid was an attempted cover-up of police corruption.
Larry Davis, an African-American man from the Bronx in New York City, was involved in a shootout with law enforcement officers on November 19, 1986. During the incident, Davis wounded six police officers but did not kill any of them.

Police officers could use deadly force to prevent a suspected felon even when a person represented no immediate threat, but police have to use discretion to evaluate situations. But after the 1985 Supreme Court case Tennessee vs. Garner specified conditions were applied to which deadly forced could be applied.
