It hasnt been a good year to be a cop in New York City, but at 12:30 Sunday morning at the gang-plagued Edenwald Houses in the Bronx, bad became infinitely worse.
... Then onlookers loudly did their best to escalate the incident wishing the cops on the scene dead, among other ugly things.
How many cops on the beat fear ending up as a scapegoat as did Daniel Pantaleo, fired in the Garner case and hesitate for a fatal split-second in responding to a lethal challenge?
It doesnt help that many cops believe, quite reasonably, theyve been abandoned by the de Blasio administration and by New Yorks political culture itself.
The NYPD is a rare and precious public resource and never is that more obvious than when an officer dies in service to the city.

Yes, dump on the coppers, until they do nothing.
Cops should just go on strike for 3 days in Manhattan.
just heard he was killed by friendly fire...other officers...ugh.
Cops get paid regardless. If I’m a NY cop, next time there’s a reported shooting, stabbing or heroin dealer run amuck at “Edenwald House in The Bronx” do you think I’m going to hurry to get to the scene?
Can’t bring up the article
Just heard at the 4:30 news break that the officer was killed by friendly fire. Deceased officer fired 5 shots, other officer(s?) fired 10.
If I was a billionaire, I would set up a fund to pay every single cop salary so they can walk off the job for a month including legal to keep them from being fired. Prolly have a goon squad to discourage scabs too
Donut break!
HECK NO!
If you actually take down a “teen” perpetrator, the mayor will lead the press in the prosecution.
Zero difference between them and black lives matter, revolutionary communists, antifa etc... In their cop hate slander.
Ferguson Effect. This goes right back to Hussein and Holder. Plus, with DeBlasio in charge, the crazies want to take NYC right back to what it was in the 70’s.
Philistines be philistines....
F NYC.
Pull all antiterrorist funding from NYC.
No more Red blood for Blue cities.
That's exactly what happened in Baltimore since they (unsuccessfully) prosecuted 6 cops for the Freddie Gray death. Cops stopped taking chances and have been hesitant to answer situations in "high-crime" neighborhoods. The murder rate has soared. Also in "high-crime" neighborhoods.)
36K police X 6K per month average salary = 216 million for one month's salary alone.
That is over a fifth of your billion.
Still, with lots of friends on the force, you might be able to recoup it...
