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.”

“You’re basing your opinion about cops killing citizens on reports from the media. The media lies. They leave out important details. Sure a few of the local 750,000 police officers in this country are bad eggs. An overwhelming majority aren’t. “

What you aren’t getting is that when good cops protect their bad eggs, they become bad eggs themselves. Look at that NYC stairwell shooting. When that chief decided it is just ‘an accident’ and the cop should walk away from it, that chief became a bad egg.
In the Harless of Canton OH incident, Harless was the ‘bad egg’. But ALL of those cops stood up for his worthless behind.

I don’t blame LE for the few Harlesses, cowards like the NYC stairwell shooting, criminal cops, or the incompetents that can’t practice proper weapons safety.
I blame LE as a whole for their wholehearted SUPPORT and DEFENSE of those same bad cops. You can’t hold the blue line and still be a good cop. The ‘good’ cops need to decide which is more important. That brother officer blue line game, or being an honest cop. The two attitudes are not compatible.

Exactly right. How absolutely shameful they are...
They’ve brought a race war upon the country, and caused animus and hatred upon those sworn to protect us.

Obama, Holder, Sharpton, Van Jones, et al, have through their words and actions induced in the States riots, arson, and now the murder of police.

They are deliberately fomenting unrest in the States.

It’s exactly what Obama set out to do.

Given that the murdered officers are not exactly classic ‘white privilege, ‘whites,’’ I have to believe that O and H are a little uncomfortable with the pigment and ancestry.

This is not a blow struck against whites. This is a blow struck against anyone not-black. Unless I’m missing something, if I’m Asian-ish or Hispanic ... and I identify racially ... I’m feeling this as much or more than a wasp mutt like me.

(In reality it’s a blow struck against any rational being, including all blacks, but since the war they want is about race ... in that context ... this was a very dumb strike.)

Bill Ayers too, these are the radicals, heck, that elder black gentleman who shows up on Hannity's show sometime doesn't think like these guys do.

It's dangerous and like someone said, sort of a race war... well, maybe that race war had already begun... and authorities in NYC have egg on their faces tonight. Wake up call.

Before I forget, here is a prime example of a blue line game at its finest.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3228539/posts

Do you think for one moment any of those cops didn’t realize they were protecting a brother officer who’d murdered his ex-wife? No cop is going to be stupid enough to buy a suicide by shooting oneself in the back of the head.

He was the bad apple. And so where they for going along with it. I won’t say every cop in the department knew about it. But it is clear the investigating officers knew it, and so did the chief/sheriff.

Sickening, really aren't any words to console those who lost loved ones. This will be a watershed event with all of the stuff that has gone down.

The Starsky n Hutch fanclub won’t discuss the shootings of innocent bystanders by the gang in blue’s amazing shooting ability on crowded streets in NYC, expending round after round missing assailants, hitting innocent bystanders in recklessness. Happened twice. Or their associated west coast big city L.A. brother/sisterhood gang who opened fire in two separate incidents on vehicles they viewed as matching Chris Dorners’, breaking laws, violating innocents. No prosecution by L.A. DA. Officer safety trumps all. No “good cops” unions, committees, decried this anywhere. Silence per usual.

Gee, think this might affect public opinion?

That’s devastating. There’s no recovering from that. Talk about losing the hearts and minds of the citizenry...who just happened to be the most armed on earth? Pure madness. And just tiny examples of what can easily be found on youtube of illegal actions, the same police agencies who did FastnFurious scandal and won’t go after illegals per edict rather than oath. Just following orders after all.

But again, it’s a huge country, plenty of police, sheriffs showed up at Bundy Ranch. Plenty have put their names out there stating won’t enforce illegal edicts concerning gun infringements in CO, NY, WA, etc. Plenty in support of recent 2000 armed civil disobedience on WA state capital steps. But alas, the conservative mainstream tv/radio media will get to that in 3,2,1... /sarcasm

All of it lays groundwork for civil war type strife, unrest in different regions from the fractures of a broken rule of law.

Killing cops here is wrong, but it’s inevitable consequence of the corruption and destruction of the rule of law. Lawlessness breeds lawlessness. Rule of the jungle with no rules.

There are many people living in an antiqued paradigm, a version of their own past reality; that is, police are a force of good, all else prove your innocence. This was when we had freedom, rule of law. Those assumptions of honor, code, ethics are a well and good but folks, this is a different America.
Whether one agrees or not, the fact is there are huge numbers of people who hate law enforcement and chomping at the bit, and this was all over social media circa 2009 I saw, with threats on FB for a sheriff who wanted house to house searches after a Indiana Supreme Court case mishap. No prosecutions for thousands of people making threats because it can’t be done.
In recent excessive force case in NY state, prosecuted officer Glans home address instantly went up. Another cop who worked under him was peeved and stated vocally on social media, his home address went up. Rahm Emmanuel mayor’s kid was robbed at gunpoint on his block recently, news/social media unwittingly exposed all police security measures around perimeter. That’s the power of internet and it’s devastating. It’s an info war, it’s psy-ops war, it’s fast evolving and mainstream hack media and gov’t will be able to catch up.

In the same fashion, police us vs. them mentality, allegiance and militarization have created their own false reality. There will be further heavy handedness because violence is the authority’s only recourse, but it will lead to further illegitimacy. Like the 1930’s during Public Enemies era, cop stations/armories will be raided; also now police will be stripping uniforms faster than ten dollar strippers in the ghetto.

So, A) we have an underclass of criminals (who because of breakdown of family, psychotropic drugs, etc have sociopathic tendencies at younger and younger age), deviants, anarchists, racists, radical Islam, illegals, terrorists, gangs who want to wreck havoc;
B) corrupt jack boot thugs who’s allegiance is to paycheck and have rejected their oaths to the Constitution, ends justify the means for statist masters;
C) prepared aware and armed citizenry and police who follow rule of law and adhere to Constitution;
D) masses of people whether families, working types, lemmings, who avoid conflict and will sway with the winds;

So IMO the situation will be devolved into regional conflicts, and your flavor may vary... large cities and urban areas will be hit the worst with police state tactics and dog eat dog devouring; of course, martial law is impossible in the U.S. without foreign troops — the best hope gov’t has is locking down a certain geographic area, but then again, being a large country, the hunting parties may arrive.

IMO one should try to get with group C in your AO for defense and otherwise avoid/eliminate groups A and B. Group D will suffer greatly.
