Imported from England. Got it on sale yesterday because they changed the bottle. Only $9.99. Smirnoff is $13.99. 70 proof instead of 80. I don't care!

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.”

Statement of Mayor Bill de Blasio
December 3, 2014
“This is a deeply emotional day – for the Garner Family, and all New Yorkers. His death was a terrible tragedy that no family should have to endure. This is a subject that is never far from my family’s minds – or our hearts. And Eric Garner’s death put a spotlight on police-community relations and civil rights – some of most critical issues our nation faces today.
“Today’s outcome is one that many in our city did not want. Yet New York City owns a proud and powerful tradition of expressing ourselves through non-violent protest. We trust that those unhappy with today’s grand jury decision will make their views known in the same peaceful, constructive way. We all agree that demonstrations and free speech are valuable contributions to debate, and that violence and disorder are not only wrong – but hurt the critically important goals we are trying to achieve together.
“These goals – of bringing police and community closer together and changing the culture of law enforcement — are why we have introduced so many reforms this year. It starts at the top with Commissioner Bratton - a strong, proven change agent. We have dramatically reduced the overuse and abuse of stop-and-frisk. We have initiated a comprehensive plan to retrain the entire NYPD to reduce the use of excessive force and to work with the community. We have changed our marijuana policy to reduce low-level arrests, and we have launched a new pilot program for body cameras for officers to improve transparency and accountability.
“These are the long term reforms we are making to ensure we don’t endure tragedies like this one again in the future. But we also know that this chapter is not yet complete. The grand jury is but one part of the process. There will still be an NYPD internal investigation. And we know the US Attorney is continuing her investigation. Should the federal government choose to act, we stand ready to cooperate.
“Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. – one of our nation’s most profound thinkers on these issues – taught us something very simple: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” The problem of police-community relations and civil rights is not just an issue for people of color – or young people – or people who get stopped by police. This is a fundamental issue for every American who cares about justice.
“All of us must work together to make this right – to work for justice – and to build the kind of city – and nation – we need to be.”
“Today’s outcome is one that many in our city did not want,” New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio said in a statement. “But we also know that this chapter is not yet complete. The grand jury is but one part of the process. There will still be an NYPD internal investigation. And we know the U.S. attorney is continuing her investigation. Should the federal government choose to act, we stand ready to cooperate.”
DeBlasio also sought to address planned protests following Wednesday’s decision, and concerns they may mirror those that shook Ferguson and cities across the country last week.
“We all agree that demonstrations and free speech are valuable contributions to debate, and that violence and disorder are not only wrong - but hurt the critically important goals we are trying to achieve together,” he said.
Yes, from Sharpton, (of course).
Maggief found it and posted it.
I could not have said it better...I was shocked at how the Mayor deflected a question after the conference, by saying that their focus should be on family and not politics, etc...so he would not have to answer for that protest or his own comments.
Me too.
And FWIW he would have been a much better President than anyone the Republicans or Democrats have nominated over the past few elections.
The Commissioner asked anyone who knows of a threat to police officer’s lives to report it.
I’d like to report a person endangering police officer’s lives. His name is Bill deBlasio.
Also Al Sharpton, and the entire staff at MSNBC.
Just saw Mayor Big Bird on TV. He couldn’t get his foot out of his mouth.
OH, MY! MMMMMMMMM!!! :-)
That dirty, rotten b#stard.
Thank you Obama
Had to pour a little vodka (and water), myself.
LOL. It’s so good, it goes down like old-fashion cream soda!
“The Police have been declawed.” Patrick Brosnan, Former NYPD detective.
I like that quote.
LOL.
God bless you, beautiful GF.
This Whipped Cream vodka is beyond delicious!
Al Sharpton spends a great deal of time visiting the WH ... he's serves as an adviser/consultant to BHO. This horrible excuse for a President has done more to set back race relations than any of his presidential predecessors going back 100 years. Prophetic ... I'm on a roll. Unfortunately.
It’s a good time of year for the Blue Flu.

An eye for an leaves the whole world blind. We all at NAN express our prayers and condolences to the families of the 2 NYC officers.

I am outraged at the killing of 2 police officers in Brooklyn. That is why we stress non violence as the only way to fight for justice.
Agree, nice time for a two day sick call by ALL police. See how that works out for the city.
The double murder of the police officers is being celebrated online:

Yahoo completely scrubbed race from their story (this time around...):

OMG.
What a liar. He helped to incite this assassination!
What Al Sharpton really said:
“SCORE! Two fer one! Extra points becuz one a chink an’ one a spic.”
