Open season on cops, it seems. I’m following the recent story of the NJ cop executed while he was sitting in his cruiser (shades of Crack city Queens NY late 80’s). I truly want to know what class of crook thinks that such a tactic is a winning one. Is it some sad bastard with the worlds lowest IQ or is contempt for law reaching Mexican levels?
“Is it some sad bastard with the worlds lowest IQ or is contempt for law reaching Mexican levels?”
I dunno ... the disregard for life and liberty and the the rule of law (agree with them or not) while the rise in support for nihilism and anarchy is reaching new heights in America. Nothing surprises me anymore. But I am getting both sad and pissed about it. I thought the article would get more thoughts like yours, though, and I’m glad for those like yours...
I recall a similar incident from early 70’s:
“Incident Details
Cause of Death: Gunfire
Date of Incident: Friday, May 21, 1971
Weapon Used: Gun; Unknown type
Suspect Info: Denied parole in 2004
Patrolmen Jones and Joseph Piagentini were shot and killed in the 32nd Precinct when they were ambushed by members of the Black Liberation Army.
As the two patrolmen were returning to their cruiser at approximately 2200 hours, three suspects snuck up behind them and opened fire. Patrolman Jones was struck in the back of the head and killed instantly. Patrolman Piagentini was shot 13 times and succumbed to his injuries en route to the hospital.
One of the suspects stole Patrolman Jones’ weapon which was later recovered in San Francisco, California, after several BLA members opened fire on a San Francisco police officer.
one good thing, it made the police more likely to shoot first than wait for a problem to develop.
