Two Cops Shot Dead In Brooklyn
Two New York City police officers were shot dead as they sat in their marked car in Brooklyn.
[su_center_ad]
According to preliminary reports, both officers were working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill when they were shot point-blank by a single gunman who approached their car at the corner of Myrtle and Tompkins avenues.
“It’s an execution,” one law enforcement source told The Post of the 3 p.m. shooting.
The gunman just started “pumping bullets” into the patrol car, another source said.
The suspected gunman fled to a nearby subway station at Myrtle and Willoughby avenues, where he was fatally shot. Preliminary reports were unclear on whether he was shot by police or his own hand.
“They engaged the guy and he did himself,” one investigator said.[su_csky_ad]

Predictably, CNN (the Conservative News network) has alreadyhad two commentators with ties to the hard-rightists within the NYPD blaming people who had been outraged with the alleged murder of Eric Garner by rogue cops for the death of the two officers, who were on special assignment in Brooklyn. One, a former detective, even said that with the murder of these cops, Al Sharpton “got what he wanted”.

Pathological dissemblers on GOP TV aren’t capable of telling the truth even if their families lives were threatened while being held hostage.

This isn’t the first time for Sharpton. In Harlem many years ago his agitation against a Jewish owned business resulted in someone’s death. And this man has the gaul to call himself a Reverend?
OldLefty December 20th, 2014 at 8:06 pm
Like the reverends who support torture and call agitate against everyone THEY disapprove of?
By the way Sharpton apologized, but it’s amazing that you guys are so obsessed with him, while few on the left could care less about him.
But then, they don’t care about anyone on Fox either.

He was just another left wing wacko anarchist like you, most likely someone with a criminal record, who was egged on by the likes of Al Sharpton. Not man enough to face the cops, he had to sneak up on them like the scum rat piece of vermin he was.
As an afterthought, I wonder how the rank and file will react if Sharpton devotee DeBlasio, who threw his own officers under the bus just last week shows up at the funerals?

April 2009: A white supremacist named Richard Poplawski opens fire on three Pittsburgh police officers who come to his house on a domestic-violence call and kills all three, because he believed President Obama intended to take away the guns of white citizens like himself.

As regards Tiller, that was the truth. Tiller was “aborting”( i.e. killing) babies who could have lived. O’Reilly and others never advocated his killing. The activists of today however are actually calling for the death’s of police officers.

Nobody likes an over aggressive police force but then again the police are not trained to back down because a citizen decides that he’s not getting arrested for breaking the law, has a tantrum and then attacks a law enforcement official, WAY CRAZY. The police are here to stay and they’re not going anywhere, do you feel that your life would be better with out them? You will no longer be able to call on your neighbor for his loud music, barking dog, destructive children, that’s what I deal with every single day, in the country that I live in now they have a lessor form of law enforcement that come out, they are unarmed and they recommend changes only, worst case scenario they ask you to come down and sign documents to stop the bad behavior, I can do this but Liberals can’t ….. that’s a fact they’re really picky individuals same with the elderly, they’ll never let go the police force in the US, it’s best to live out in the country.

Media is the problem, black on black crime is much higher. Police are humans they eat real food, have wife’s, kids and grand kids, Mom and Pop. Law enforcement deals with the slugs of society those that won’t conform to laws, this happens every day and all day long. I live in a country where you don’t dare act up around police and there’s nobody that will go to bat for you if you do, they’ll mention, what an idiot for thumbing is nose, hitting taunting a law enforcement official, if your a thug your a thug.
Kick Frenzy December 20th, 2014 at 11:10 pm
White on white crime is much higher too.
People tend to congregate into racial clusters.
Homicide occurs most often within those borders, because people tend to stay inside them… so if they’re killed, it was probably by someone of the same color.
In other words, that’s a straw-man argument and a flawed one at that.
Whether you think of all people who commit any crime as thugs and slugs of society still does not excuse shoddy police work leading to an immediate sentence of death.
You can’t seriously suggest that if you steal a box of Swishers and walk in the street instead of the sidewalk, that you deserve to be shot to death.
You can’t seriously suggest that allegedly selling loose cigarettes (insisting you weren’t, but then putting your hands up), requires a choke hold to be applied and maintained, ignoring about a dozen pleas that he couldn’t breathe, that leads to death.
You can’t expect anyone to believe that the 12 year old boy with the bb gun was treated justly when the police completely mishandled (and misread) the situation by charging towards him with a car, then shooting him dead within 2 seconds of arriving on the scene, the car barely in park.
There are a lot of great police out there, but there a large amount of bad ones too.
That’s what needs fixing, not ignoring it to save face for law enforcement.
The two police who were shot in cold blood did not deserve that and it’s heartbreaking that it happened.
I sincerely hope no more violence is committed in this struggle for accountability and fair treatment.
whatthe46 December 21st, 2014 at 7:38 am

It’s the right who support armed thugs defending a millionaire thief then condemn unarmed citizens for expressing their anger over a murdered teenager. It’s the right wing who constantly play the race card and use racial innuendos to support their positions (just look below at the comments about Sharpton). It’s the right wing who lay blame and create a scapegoat everytime their ‘get tough’ policies fail and another 12 year old with a toy is killed.
If not for the wanton disregard for a just and fair society by right wing ‘leaders’ things like this wouldn’t happen, these cops wouldn’t have been targeted by some some crazed vigilante had justice been served the way it should have been in several earlier cases. Radicalized or fanatical people will do crazy things once they believe enough is enough.
My heartfelt sadness and condolences go out to the families of these slain men, they did not deserve this, neither did Crawford, Rice, Brown or Garner.

You must have had ear plugs in when Al Sharpton speaks, add the Rev Wright, so you don’t generalize much or have selective hearing?

I guess you were speaking out when folks were saying that Obama was born in Kenya.
I’ll condemn the chants in the marches. Will you be honest and condemn the birthers and their enablers?

Not me, he speaks perfect English and after reading his life story, he’s American. You need to admit that both Rev Sharpton and Wright shouldn’t be your spokesperson on race relation’s, they are blatant racists, I don’t support those on the Right that have this one-way thinking it’s not healthy or natural.
neworleans878 December 20th, 2014 at 10:49 pm
Sharpton and Wright have been over the top at times.
Will you tar my whole side with what a few have said?
May I do the same for yours?

(That would be hard to do… their side has a plethora of people who already fit that category. We can easily count ours on just our fingers.)

you LIE all the way around. and sharpton isn’t a racist. why is it that racist, such as yourself, suggest that people like sharpton who brings to the fore front, unjust against black people by racist white people a hater of white people?

Everything you post is parroted from GOP TV’s far RWNJ racists egging you on with Breitbarted sound bytes. And then they laugh at how gullible and uninformed you neoclowns are so well proven to be.

Amazed that this made the Liberaland board, good job! You notice there’s no mention of the shooter racial make up, thats’ not allowed by the media unless it’s a white on black shooting.

In reality land guns kill just 3-5/100k in the well regulated North East and in the Pacific western Blue wall vs 20-15 gun deaths per 100k in the gun nuttiest states of #1 Palinbrawl’s Alaska, Cheney’s Wyoming, MT, AL, GA, FL, MS, MO, etc. https://twitter.com/SmPenisGunClub/status/546508625968377856

This was a Black on Asian and Hispanic shooting.
But that’s missing the point.
This guy was after cops… I doubt he cared what color they were, just as long as they wore blue.

These days it’s amazing how fast some seek to lay blame or characterize an apparent act of senseless violence as an “execution.” Ferguson player Deandre Joshua was executed, his body desecrated in a deliberate, planned act of violence intended to send a clear message to someone. Whatever comes to light in this case will only add to this unstoppable movement to enact DOJ law enforcement reforms along with “legislative fixes.” For both public and police safety!

This gun nut mass murderer and cop killer shot his girlfriend in Maryland earlier and bragged about that too!
“Brinsley, who was arrested on disorderly conduct charges in Georgia in 2005, also bragged about shooting his girlfriend. On his Instagram account, he posted a photo of army fatigues with apparent blood stains.”-NY Daily news tabloid. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/cops-shot-brooklyn-sources-article-1.2051941

Who didn’t see this coming? This could be the start of retaliation against police for the outrageous and unjustified killings of young blacks. Could also be the beginning of a “race war”…

Keep living in your bubble of denial. Cops are in as much danger as a young black or Hispanic man. There is no safe haven for anyone…anymore…

It could also be a reality check that results in more peaceful discussions and more thoughtful results.

“A lot of people were clapping and laughing,” he said.
“Some were saying, ‘They deserved it,’ and another was shouting at the cops, ‘Serves them right because you mistreat people!’”

This is the result of systematically depicting the police as villains. It is the end result of a political movement. It’s political assassination.

No. It’s the result of one sociopath’s actions. You right wingers will try to blame Liberals for this. That’s bullspit. And you know it.
