The thought that their loved one might not come back from the day’s shift weighs on every NYPD family. For the survivors of Police Officer Brian Moore, that nightmare just came true.

On Monday, the 25-year-old undercover cop succumbed to injuries from Saturday evening’s savage shooting in Queens.

Moore and his partner, Erik Jansen, drove up to Demetrius Blackwell after spotting a suspicious object in his waistband.

Blackwell allegedly pulled out a gun and fired into the car, striking Moore twice in the face.

Coming from a family of cops — including his retired NYPD sergeant father — Moore had already racked up more than 150 arrests in just five years on the job.

This is the third line-of-duty fatality to hit the ranks of New York’s Finest in just five months. He follows Detectives Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, ambushed during the height of December’s anti-cop protests. . .

Pathetic and sad. Is this part of the “Give them space to vent” crowd?

Officer Moore's demise doesn't seem to generate the very high level of interest.

Perhaps if he were a recidivist criminal urban yoot.

Sad commentary on our time.

This brave officer was murdered while he was doing what he was sworn to do: protect and serve.

I want to know if 0bammy has condemned the murder, and if he will go to the funeral.

If this shooter lived; he should be hung from the neck until dead in the middle of Times Square.

If people want to riot because of it and commit a crime in the process; they should expect nothing less than the hand of justice to come down on them - hard.

This problem is not going to be solved by giving the rioters ‘space’ to riot, destroy private property, and injure or kill cops or innocent bystanders.
