Dammit!
RIP, NYS Trooper Joseph Longobardo...
They'll find the subhuman POS, and exact punishment. Count on it, sir.

I don't understand--perhaps someone with more medical knowledge than I have can explain this tragedy to me. I can understand how a man shot in the leg could, perhaps, bleed to death immediately, but how would a leg wound kill three days later, in this day and age? What could have happened?
Sometimes when things are awful we seek explanations, as if that will make it better.

A case made for the death penalty, which NY doesn't have, unfortunately.

Why do we have to, "Read more at guardian.co.uk ..."
Why not a New York rag, or Detroit, or Chicago??
Why the hell do we have to read of this from the UK??
Sorry for the interruption, I'm tired as hell of the
damn US media not covering the news that means something
to us here in the US.

From what I read from various sources over the last two days, the Trooper took a high powered bullet in the femoral artery. He was airlifted and required at least 50 units of blood. The leg was amputated earlier today. He had been kept in a medically induced coma the entire time.
There are all sorts of complications of coma and surgery.

They did have special circumstances, and the murder of a cop was one of them, but when was the last time they actually used it?

Thank you for explaining that. How very sad.

Apparently in NY the life of a cop is worth much more than the life of a citizen.

I deal with gunshot wounds to the extremities often. There are complications from losing too much blood, transfusion reactions, blood clots, fatty embolisms, contamination of the site, tissue toxins affecting the liver and heart, septicemia, and with the amputation the same complications compounded. The stress from the trauma and resulting surgeries can be too much. It amazes me that the success rate of military trauma surgeons is as high as it is.
To: darkangel82
Dunno the last time New York State kilt some scumbag, they've had lots that deserve it, but Connecticut recently executed a creep who killed two young women. Once you do one, and like it, you could turn into Texas.
I kinda suspect that this guy will never live to see the inside of a courtroom again.

Apparently in NY the life of a cop is worth much more than the life of a citizen. That's one argument, the counter argument is that a police officer in the line of duty is acting for the people collectively, an attack on a police officer, like an attack on a judge or a lawyer, is an attack on the rule of law.

I know both of them, (from my home town) and another trooper who was recently hurt in an accident as a result of investigating a stupid gas drive-off.
This has been a very bad month.
Peace be with you, Joe, and a speedy recovery to Donnie and Tony.

God rest his soul and give no respite to his murderer. NY police: run the scum to earth and show only as much mercy as he did his victims. This one gets no earthly trial.
