The mother of a gunman who ambushed and murdered two NYPD officers as they sat in their squad car Saturday afternoon in Brooklyn told authorities that she was scared of her son and he had a troubled childhood, often acting violent.

New York City Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce told reporters Sunday afternoon that 28-year-old Ismaaiyl Brinsley, who approached the passenger window of a marked police car at approximately 2:45 p.m. local time and opened fire -- striking Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu in the head -- had numerous run-ins with law enforcement.

Brinsley has been arrested 15 times in Georgia, and four in Ohio for assorted crimes, Boyce said. In posts on social media, the gunman expressed anger against the United States government at himself, Boyce added.

He was untroubled before the Tea Party. That’s what made him troubled and need to kill two cops.

The London Daily Mail has an interview with this piece of trash’s “best friend” tonight who admitted that what this creep did was wrong and cowardly. But he also remembered him as “intelligent and funny”, “very smart’ “deeply in love with his girlfriend” whom he just happened to beat the crap out of before he killed the two policemen.

OK, hard to keep up with all this. At one point they Balto PD said she was expected to survive, tho what I’d read earlier indicated she died before he fled the scene. That’s true love for you.

"More than fifty percent of whites have had a troubled childhood too"

I agree. But the Race Hustlers have been telling Blacks for decades that 'All their problems are a result of "White Privilege".

His troubled past took flight when he felt attracted to the ROP.

Recurring theme: murderers, rapists, attackers, robbers with extensive records of arrests for violent crimes are out on the streets loose, either on bond, probation, or parole. The judicial system is overwhelmed by volume and buried under too much process.

Troubled past?

Yes, he became a Muslim, prima facie evidence of mental defect.
