2 NYPD cops shot dead ‘execution style’ as ‘revenge’ for Garner
New York Post ^ | 12/20/2014 | Larry Celona, Kevin Fasick and Jamie Schram

Posted on 12/20/2014 2:22:32 PM PST by Rusty0604

Two uniformed NYPD officers were shot dead Saturday afternoon as they sat in their marked police car on a Brooklyn street corner — in what investigators believe was a crazed gunman’s execution-style mission to avenge Eric Garner and Michael Brown.

“It’s an execution,” one law enforcement source said of the 3 p.m. shooting of the two officers, whose names were being withheld pending family notification of their deaths.

The tragic heroes were working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill when they were shot point-blank in their heads by the lone gunman, who approached them on foot from the sidewalk at the corner of Myrtle and Tompkins avenues in Bed-Stuy.

“I’m Putting Wings on Pigs Today,” a person believed to be the gunman wrote on Instagram in a message posted just three hours before the officers were shot through their front passenger window.

“They Take 1 Of Ours … Let’s Take 2 of Theirs,” the post continued, signing off with, “This May Be My Final Post.”

Obama, Holder, and Sharpton are getting the race war they so desperately sought.

Innocent, law abiding blacks are the big, big losers today.

They will be the ones to bear the brunt of the backlash from this "Race Pimp War Against The Police".

The courts are operated by liberals. All these legal widgets are one-way. Court decisions are largely outcome-based, and when the issue is a "social issue" (race, firearms, tobacco, homosexuality), the probability of a decision being "outcome based" is probably 80%. There is so much case law on the books that any outcome can be justified by a cite to something.

What's really a hoot is the decisions are inconsistent, but the judges will all swear they aren't.

I thought the Carter disaster and the Reagan turnaround would put everyone off the idea of reliving the 70s but ignorance has been issued wholesale by ‘educators’ for some time so we get to watch the left make their mess again.

A question for all of you:

Will any Ivy league campuses be allowing the delay of finals for the death of these two officers?

Yes the innocent blacks will be the losers, as police will do the least amount possible now to prevent creating more agitation among the radicals.

Delta Dawn:" There WILL be calls for DeBlasio to step down, of course he won’t..."

DeBalsio will just authorize a third wall at Gracie Mansion, since the newly installed ten footer won't stop anyone.

So now how many will complain that it wasn’t white officers that were shot?

It isn’t a matter of condoning as much as it is a realization. Whether we like it or not, we humans are animals. Animals react to stimuli. If you harm one of my friends or relatives I will be angry. If it was an especially close relationship I will be VERY angry. Whether you thinks so or not, it is not for you to decide whether that relationship was close enough to warrant a violent response. That decision would be mine!

In this case, the shooter evidently felt both Garner and Brown were related closely enough for him to take revenge. Be prepared for more such events in the future. It may not be logical according to you but it doesn’t have to be.

Another thing you can expect is for police to “armor up” for even the most mundane jobs. They will also become more brutal. Then the bad guys (are there any good ones in this?) will change their tactics and continue as before. Eventually the police will have to go ‘full totalitarian’ to survive - if they survive. That’s when it gets interesting.

Fox News reported he shot and killed his girlfriend in Baltimore, then drove up to Brooklyn.

I'm not sure how killing his girlfriend in Baltimore could have been "revenge" for Garner. My guess is he realized he was going away for a long, long time (if not "forever") for killing his girlfriend.

He’s fixing to have a joint press conference with the NYPD.

I hope DeBlasio shows up with a black eye.

“rawcatslyentist put that “account banned” line on its own home page.”

Oh, my gosh! What the heck?

Oh, wait, it keeps the management from putting it on?

I don't know how putting the message on the page would prevent a ban or suspension. The relevant act here would be the ban or suspension itself, not someone's adding a message to a profile.

And then the poster can remove it when they want to?

The poster should be able to remove it just as easily as other messages may be removed.

We are heading toward a race war. There are many Blacks who consider all non-Blacks (not merely Whites) the enemy. One of the officers was Asian, the other was Hispanic.
