Two plainclothes New York City police officers were shot in the Bronx on Monday night after they attempted to stop a car while responding to a robbery, the police said.
One officer was shot in the back and another officer was shot in the arm, police officials said. Their injuries were not considered life-threatening.
A search was underway for at least two assailants, Deputy Chief Kim Y. Royster, a Police Department spokeswoman, said. A gun was recovered a block from one crash scene, officials said, but it was not immediately clear if it belonged to either of the assailants.

I've seen the local fifth-column leftist TV news 'reporters' do the same thing, describing the suspect-on-the-loose and what he was wearing, based on eyewitness reports, but leaving out any mention of race or ethnicity. Again, when they don't said it, they've said it.
The key question is, has he removed all the military leaders who still are willing to live up to their oath to oppose all DOMESTIC enemies? Rock 'n a hard place when your Commander in Chief is the number one domestic enemy!
I think the objective is to prod and poke and thereby provoke the citizens who simply want to get on with their lives until they are driven to retaliate by defending their existence.
That’s how mohammad did it.
