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.”

All the hoping in the world won’t make it true.
“The Mayor is not invited to their funerals. Maybe he will go to the perp’s.”
It would be fitting, considering who and what DeBlasio is. He has the blood on his hands along with Sharpton, Holder and Obama.
rawcatslyentist put that “account banned” line on its own home page.
From what I’ve found out so far is one is dead the other critical ....
The professionals have editors who regulate what goes out, and the form it is allowed to take.
If you think that I am hoping for a race war then you are an idiot. KMA.
Yes. He recently said that it's not safe to have horses on NYC streets.
Now that would make a great T-Shirt.
I reckon so. I can’t stand that idiot Arnell.
Absolutely
Super. That’ll save some lives.
Al Sharpton just released a statement on the shootings of two police officers in Brooklyn
Pretty quick.
Someone must have told him that the “Twitterverse” is calling for his ARREST!
Look it up. FR says he is banned.
He voted for him the first time because he was black, but not the second time. But I don’t see what that has to do with his statement on cops.
HURL!

Rev. Al Sharpton has released a statement:
“I have spoken to the Garner family and we are outraged by the early reports of the police killed in Brooklyn today, Any use of the names of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, in connection with any violence or killing of police, is reprehensible and against the pursuit of justice in both cases.
We have stressed at every rally and march that anyone engaged in any violence is an enemy to the pursuit of justice for Eric Garner and Michael Brown. We have been criticized at National Action Network for not allowing rhetoric or chanting of violence and would abruptly denounce it at all of our gatherings. The Garner family and I have always stressed that we do not believe that all police are bad, in fact we have stressed that most police are not bad.
We plan to hold a press conference in the morning to express our outrage and our condolences to the families and the police department. Details to follow.”
He ought to be lynched
“Fox is horrid on this!”
As usual on weekend breaking news. Even worst this time of year as the A team is checked out until after Christmas if not the new year.
