"Two uniformed NYPD officers were shot dead — execution style — as they sat in their marked police car on a Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, street corner.
According to preliminary reports, both officers were working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill when they were shot point-blank by a single gunman who approached their car at the corner of Myrtle and Tompkins avenues.
“It’s an execution,” one law enforcement source told The Post of the 3 p.m. shooting."

"“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.

The post included an image of silver automatic handgun with a wooden handle. Another post showed camouflage pants and blue sneakers which matched the clothing the dead gunman was wearing as his body was carried from the scene on a stretcher.
“They Take 1 Of Ours … Let’s Take 2 of Theirs,” the post continued, signing off with, “This May Be My Final Post.”"

With the media reports, the talk consistently one way and our leaders proclamations, this is what we get and I think probably will continue to get.

Unfortunately, with the recent spate of Sharpton-led demagoguery and racial incitement, aided and abetted by the NYC Mayor, this was indeed inevitable. Leadership matters, or in the case, the lack thereof has consequences.

Maybe the police should just pull out of the high crime areas since they don't seem to be welcomed anyway?

What a shame. God bless those officers and their families.

Folks on this board along with our officials simply made light of the fact that their (not suggesting that comments made on this particular board) comments and actions would have consequences. The mood was set....there is no need to listen to police commands, and worry not, no matter you may become a hero of sorts Police are the enemy.

I am afraid this is from from over.

As for Sharpton, he is a criminal.....he needs to be locked up, at least make him pay taxes.

I'm just appalled. Goes to show you how some of these people think. God bless our law enforcement officers. They didn't even have a "Grand Jury" And as to Sharpton, Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?????????????

[Rags123]

you know, as I think back on the posts on TOTV during Garner, Ferguson, etc. what really strikes me is nobody seemed to be on the police side. Most did not even acknowledge that the police were correct in stopping them and correct in telling them to obey commands to get the situation assessed and controlled.

I think back about two months when police were attacked on the street by a man with an axe, whose facebook page was loaded with racist remarks aimed at the white police.

Disturbing, this will not get much attention...certainly not like the others....the axe thing was a one or two day story.

I suppose if you have nothing to gain by supporting the police and you do have something to gain by supporting.......I am very callous at this point. This is like a sick movie.

I am rambling I know, but this is getting very old...it is the same old story for years......

First bit of news that I heard coming home from work today - so sad. Can't imagine just sitting in your car on the job and being ambushed like that. I too am one who supports the effort of our policemen and women. In this crazy world that we live in these days, they are becoming more and more like our military - brave men and women who put their lives on the line daily. Prayers to the families affected by this tragedy.

The media and its satanic drumbeat has yielded foreseeable results. I'm not talking about reported news, but rather that sickening species of 'talking heads' and 'concerned reporters' non stop barrage of their political and social agenda of lies.

The suspect seems to have posted material on the social media about his taking 'revenge' for Garner and Brown, I think.

Sharpton and his beholden leftist NY mayor and the media make me sick.

I know two police officers' families who will never again have a truly joyous Christmas.

We seemed to be doing better some time ago.
I have said this before, on our way home in the car to Ohio at Thanksgiving, I felt coldness from the folks I smiled at who were black. That has not happened to me before. This is affecting all of us in a bad way.

We are all angry; i was just saying that your original post ended with wearing blue in support. The add-on detracted from your thoughtful and moving post. Just my opinion.

I found the last sentence to be highly thoughtful. Thoughts born out of genuine sadness and justifiable anger. An atmosphere has been created in the past several months……look to the creators, enablers and inciters……not to those who bemoan this atmosphere.

I have to respectfully disagree.

Here is the reality I predict. Good people will not want to become Officers of the Law and we will only have the smarmy ones. They will not want to go to neighborhoods where violence is high.

Last night, in Orlando in the middle of the night, in a neighborhood on the east side, seven homes were riddled with bullets.

It will come here. Sooner or later. We are older and weaker and don't run as fast. The non law abiders will come here and hurt us and rob us. If our authority figures nationally do not stand up for law enforcement, bad things will happen and continue to happen.
