Quoting the opening paragraph from the Chicago Tribune article:

The officers were on foot patrol when they were asked by a freelance photographer to pose for a picture...

No further mention on the identity or any further investigation on this 'freelance photographer' who so conveniently distracted these 'rookie' officers coincidental to this hatchet attack. Was this a lone wolf attack by Zale Thompson (aka Zaim Faouq Abdul-Malik) or was it coordinated/pre-staged for media-ready video distribution by IS/ISIS/ISIL abetters?

WRT THE AXE-WIELDING TERRORIST WHO ATTACKED NY COPS--VOTERS NEED TO ASK WHAT CUOMO DID ABOUT THIS?

Obama admin unilaterally changes law to allow
"immigrants with limited" terror contact into US

The Daily Caller | 2/5/14 / FR Posted by Nachum

The Obama administration has issued new exemptions to a law that bars certain asylum-seekers and refugees who provided “limited material support” to terrorists who are believed to pose no threat from the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department published the new exemptions Wednesday in the Federal Register to narrow a ban in the Immigration and Nationality Act excluding refugees and asylum seekers who had provided limited material support, no matter how minor, to terrorists.

“These exemptions cover five kinds of limited material support that have adversely and unfairly affected refugees and asylum seekers with no tangible connection to terrorism: material support that was insignificant in amount or provided incidentally in the course of everyday social, commercial, family or humanitarian interactions, or under significant pressure,” a DHS official explained to The Daily Caller.

Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Secretary of State John Kerry signed the exemptions. DHS contends that the law change is “commonsense” and that immigration procedures will remain the same in other respects. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...

WRT THE AXE-WIELDING TERRORIST WHO ATTACKED NY COPS--VOTERS NEED TO ASK WHAT CUOMO DID ABOUT THIS?

REFERENCE Federal outreach to Muslim-American communities is a pillar of Obama counter-terrorism strategy
Washington post | 5/25/2013 | ap / FR Posted by tobyhill

Within hours of the Boston Marathon blasts, US government officials and Muslims in Boston called each other to offer assistance. These calls were the fruits of years of cultivating such relationships in an effort to ultimately prevent the very type of attack Boston experienced April 15....

Representatives from the US Departments of Justice and Homeland Security called to offer support to Muslim communities......just in case THEY suffered backlash or threats. (more on FR).

Now, just because this guy was a Muslim doesn’t mean that Islam is a factor in this violence...

Seriously, are people that deluded?? Cowardly?? On the same side??

Apparently the attacker a black muslim.

If so, we can lay at least part of the liability at the feet of the lying sack o' shiite mainstream media for milking the Ferguson story for months.

Based on all the other reports I’ve read about this attack, I think “freelance photographer” is the wrong term, as it implies that the person was some sort of professional photographer. Sounds like it was just some random person on the street, who asked the cops to take a picture. I’ve lived in and around NYC for most of my life, and I see that happen all the time.

I doubt the photo guy was involved in the attack. From other reports, it sounds like the attacked had been milling around for quite some time, likely waiting for the right opportunity.

It does seem to be an interesting coincidence. The attack against the police was an attack on authority. One can only wonder why he didn’t attack unarmed citizens instead of armed policemen.

The assailant was said to be upset about police brutality as well as wars against terrorism. By suppressing the truth of the Michael Brown Ferguson case the Obama administration and Eric Holder contributed to this attack.
