Jeez...what is it with the lack of clarity in today’s journalism?

You think that’s accidental?

can we get the cops some training? What is the effing point of shooting some moron at a phone store and risking everybody else?

May your mother be gang raped by a bunch of gangsta thugs because there are no police officers there "playing war" to stop them. You are a pathetic POS

Ah, the copsuckers weigh in....

The poster is clearly referring to the cop who shot and killed the dead cop. I love cops and defend them here and anywhere when a comment is out of line in my opinion. I don’t think the poster you replied to out of line. A cop was killed in all likelihood by a someone who had no right being a cop.

You on the other hand, to post what you did, clearly have a demented mind.

Wow you were able to read his mind and know exactly what he meant. Aren't you special. Silly me, I can only go by his initial one sentence reply and then again on his one sentence reply back to me.

“No rapid tourniquet?”

The officer that was hit in the leg survived.

“May your mother be gang raped...”

Why would you say that about his mother? Your comment tells us more about you than any point you were trying to make about the poster.

Regardless of what the poster wrote, it did not warrant your reply.

Here’s what may have happened: Uniformed officers arrive on the scene in response to a call about an armed man holding hostages. Plainclothed detectives arrived separately after hearing the report over the radio. Uniformed cops shoot the detectives because they see them with guns drawn and don’t know they’re cops.

Det. Brian Simonsen, 42, was killed after being hit...

The sergeant, later identified as Matthew Gorman, who had eight and a half years with the NYPD, was shot in the leg...”

Oh. Ok.
**************************************************
Yes, THAT was clear. From what person(s) gun did the “friendly fire” bullets originate? Did they shoot each other? Did one of them somehow manage to both accidentally kill/wound himself and kill/wound the other? Were they shot by the other arriving officer(s)? Some weird combination of the previous possibilities?

was killed after being hit.

So we have two separate acts here? He was shot already and then someone killed him.

Who needs a bullet proof vest when all the cops have guns?

You are correct, I was out of line. My wife and my son are both LEOs and I let my emotions get the best of me, I should have replied in a more measured manner

Know your target before you shoot.

This is only necessary for those of us subject to accountability. In general, police are allowed to ignore this rule.
