One officer was Chinese-American in heritage and the other was Latino. The gunman had murdered his girlfriend in Baltimore and said on social media he was going to NY to kill police. Baltimore PD sent the warning asap but it arrived in NYPD as the two officers were being shot in cold blood.
I hope at their funerals enough police and law enforcement turn out to send a serious message to the media and those in public limelight.
It's ironic that Holder's successor, Loretta Lynch, was (is) US Atty General (deputy) for the Brooklyn district where officers Liu and Ramos gave their last full measure.
