My heart breaks for New York City tonight.
NYPD officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu had their lives stolen from them. Ismaaiyl Brinsley allegedly approached their marked police car and opened fire before later turning the gun on himself.
His Instagram account told the story: "I'm putting wings on pigs today. They take 1 of ours, let's take 2 of theirs" - vengeance for the death of New York's Eric Garner, who died after an officer's use of an illegal chokehold.
According to authorities, Brinsley shot and wounded his girlfriend earlier in the day. Clearly, Brinsley was a disturbed man. But sadly, the narrative won't be of an erratic, lone gunman, singling out New York's finest. It will be one of violent, evil retaliation, furthering the divide of a distrustful community and the officers sworn to protect it.
Brinsley's perverted brand of justice cannot be justified. Confronting injustice with more injustice just breeds more sorrow, more pain and more hate. My heart breaks for New Yorkers who now live in fear of further retaliation.
My heart breaks for the protesters, whose diligence was nearly unraveled by Brinsley's heinous actions. Peaceful protests, from New York last weekend to those in Birmingham just Friday, aimed to bring awareness to injustices that have plagued minority communities for generations. Those demonstrations have now been tainted, albeit unfairly, by the actions of a disturbed individual....

> My heart breaks for the protesters
The ones who called for the death of cops?
The “struggle” hasn’t been about justice for a long time.
I’d like to see some justice visited upon these rioters.
Nonsense there is no “social justice” involved in blowing away a robber and taking down a fat boy.
This is like a comprehensive men’s clothing warehouse pantS load.
You nailed it.

Are you down for the strugoo?
Social justice? Who gives a crap when blacks have been ruining society with their violence for decades?
“Senseless murders ... stain a struggle for social justice”
Stupid hippies.
Nothing has been ‘stained’. These protestors from Ferguson to Oakland to NYC have been nothing but dangerous criminal malcontents from day-one. Take your ‘social justice’ and shove it.
It’s “Shtruggle”.
Spin machine is working over time. All those “helpful” voices the media chooses to promote, telling us that we’re irrational and likely to take the murders out on the “innocent” protestors seen calling for those murders. Did they really think they could call for blood, witness the deaths that result, and then “teach” us that it wasn’t their fault? Well, yes. The media is known to help people do things like that....
The left is falling all over itself calling the murders all sorts of things, which they don’t actually believe. After a week or so, the left will go back to its default position: hating White police officers and loving the America-haters.
It wasn’t an illegal chokehold.
“Social justice”, there’s your stain right there.
OFFS!!!
Sadly? Why sadly?
Instead of a "narrative" why not just tell the truth? Then you won't have to be sad, you sad excuse for a journalist.
The protesters are trying to disavow the very agitators behind their protests.
