The officers, who have not been identified, were reportedly fired at near the intersection of 65th Street and Broadway on Sunday evening. It is unclear whether they were in a marked vehicle at the time.

They subsequently returned fire, causing several suspects to scatter, police said. The officers were treated at the scene for minor gunshot wounds, while a number of people were detained by police.

I AM TRYING TO CARE. Really, I am. The problem I am having is the police abuse *I* have endured, seen and been shown by others.

Dear Mr. Policeman: If you want the support of the public you claim to be “protecting”, it would be a good idea to NOT ALIENATE us.

yours sincerely,
DonW, and the REST of the law-abiding.

It used to be the case that gangs were very down on people who shot police, because the police response would be to not bother trying to take arrestees alive, until the cop killer was caught.

I wonder if ISIS is smart enough to know what kind of wrench it would throw into the works if THEY got in on this?

A cop here and a cop there; pretty soon, America and its law industry would be at each other’s throats.

While there are some abuses by police officers, this isn’t the norm, IMO. You better care - because like it or not - the police serve a purpose - without them it would be total chaos on the streets. If zero and his ilk have their way - it could come to this. Good heavens, what is wrong with you?

Yeah, so have I. And the thought of an innocent cop being shot by a racist, anarchist thug still turns my stomach.

There's nothing wrong with him a law enforcement sector NOT trained to be sociopaths wouldn't cure.

I agree with Don W ,, EVERY encounter I have had with the police has been abusive and if taken to court or IA I have had them “testily” against me... maybe they’re not all bad , maybe it’s those darn 99% making the rest look bad.

And don’t take that to mean I’m a criminal , I’ve never spent a single minute in jail.

It will become impossible for citizens to AFFORD law enforcement, before long.

That’s given.

The ultimate question is, HOW will order be kept THEN?

Answer: Like in the third world, the US will have para’s running around like crazy and NO order either.

IMHO....

The ONLY thing keep Law & Order & Civility is the POLICE!

Be careful what you wish for, you may get it and don’t come crying when it comes.

And I’m far from being a jackboot thug boot licker...
