A police officer who was shot in the head in East Harlem on Tuesday night has died from his injuries, according to two people with direct knowledge of the investigation.

The officer was assigned to patrol public housing, the authorities said. He was shot around 8:30 p.m. near Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive and 120th Street, the police said.

The officer was shot as he ran after a man who was reported to be armed with a gun, the police said.

I feel terrible for the officer and his family. But the kookoos in NYC elected DeBlabio and he is the proximate cause of this poor officer’s death in that he’s verbally “enabled” the murderous black thugs that call NYC home. BTW, DeBlabio’s wife looks like a throwback from the Tonton Macoute!

This is the worst fear of every child/spouse/family member of a police officer. That the dad/husband or wife will be killed on duty, not come home that night or any other night. Yet, we have FReepers who condemn cops on these threads, day and night, claiming the worst thing is that they “want to go home tonight.” Yes, they should be able to go home each and every night, and not get shot/killed by a gang banger.

May the soul of Officer Holder rest in peace and may his family somehow find comfort in this terrible, senseless tragedy. Oh, and thank you, Mayor deBlasio and all your anti-cop supporters, here and elsewhere.

WLS AM Radio 870 in Chicago reported a short while go that this started with the punk cop killer to be stealing a bicycle at a housing project. The officer, I believe the report said, was an immigrant from the Caribbean and presumably black who went to the project to investigate the bicycle theft. Since the murdered officer was black, does HIS life matter? America wants to know. Of course, the killer saw him as a blue (uniformed) person and not a black man.
