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.

Or as they used to say, he had a record as long as your arm.

“Gunman who shot and killed 2 NYPD officers in Brooklyn had troubled past, mother, police say”

I am surprised as anybody to hear of this. Isn’t that, well, sort of RACIST to bring up these events from the past? < /sarcasm >

I’m sure the families of the slain officers fill the same way.

Lots of people have troubled lives. They don’t go out and shoot 2 police officers in cold blood.

If this is meant to evoke sympathy for the gunman — sorry, I’ll give my sympathies to the victims’ families.

Well paint my rump blue and call me Quincy...here I was thinking the lad had been recruited by MENSA at birth, took AP courses in grade school, was carrying three majors at MIT on a full scholarship at age twelve, did classified consulting for the Jet Propulsion Lab, fine tuned the Hardron Collider wiring and software while running eleventy seben homeless kitchens, tutoring untold numbers of homeless kids in 217 languages and dialects.

Just goes to show you never can tell.

Of course, he was “troubled”. Do you think any truly “untroubled” individual is a career criminal loser like this dead fool? However, just because you are “troubled” doesn’t give you carte blanc to do all sorts of crimes. Sheesh! These LIB apologists are too much. Have a Merry Christmas!

" had a troubled childhood"

Seriously? How many young Black Males haven't had a "Troubled Childhood"?

In fact, the democRat Party has made sure that all African American Males believe that they, have had a troubled childhood!

More than fifty percent of whites have had a troubled childhood too....so if most of blacks and half of whites have had troubled childhoods, then no one in USA should still be living.....only criminals and murderers.

I’ll say it again. The propagandist politicians who have been fueling this racial fire should have been smart enough to factor in the unstable, crazed people in our society. They have run their mouths for months, creating this monster, it’s like giving porn to a pervert.

“troubled past”
being a member of the death cult is definitely a sign of being mentally troubled.

The guy had a "troubled" past?

Methinks he's got a very "troubled" future, too.

You forgot that he was also an honor student, sang in the church choir, counseled troubled teens, was viewed by everyone that knew him as a natural leader, couldn’t meet a nicer guy, wasn’t into politics or radicalism, his neighbors liked him . . .
