Two NYPD Officers Ambushed And Murdered

[A Theist]

Funny how this bit of news seems to have gone unnoticed by the far-left members of AF. Then again, not so surprising that this one was ignored considering that it flies in the face of their far-left anti-cop sentiments...how about it Min? This one should make you happy. After all, your hatred of the police inspired you to start the "Fucking Cops" thread....

“Today two of New York’s finest were shot and killed with no warning, no provocation,” Mr. Bratton said at Woodhull Hospital in Williamsburg, where the officers were declared dead. “They were, quite simply, assassinated — targeted for their uniform and for the responsibility they embraced to keep the people of this city safe.”....

“There’s blood on many hands tonight — those that incited violence on the street under the guise of protests, that tried to tear down what New York City police officers did every day," the head of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, Patrick Lynch, said outside Woodhull Hospital. He added, “That blood on the hands starts on the steps of City Hall, in the office of the mayor.”

This is tragic and senseless. So much so that it overshadows my initial ill feeling towards you, A Theist, for being condescending toward the community here. Funny how rubbing something in Min's face was more important to you than just bringing awareness to this tragedy and allowing conversation to unfold naturally.

The Police are given greater powers than the rest of us. This is generally a huge benefit to society, however not if these powers are abused and to stop this there must be accountability.

I am not sure how highlighting cases where they abuse their power and/or don't act in a way to benefit society is the same as wanting them shot.

Only to the far-left members of the community here. Especially since some among you will pile into Min's "Fucking Cops" thread to post how bad the police are. I waited around, since news of this tragedy broke out, to see if anyone here would post something about the two officers being shot to death. Nothing from any of you. Some of you guys here are all ready, in an instant, to pile on the police when some kind of news breaks out that seems to incriminate an officer of wrong doing, even when the facts are either to the contrary, or unclear. But nothing from any of you about the murder of these two officers. The initial ill feelings goes both ways you hypocrites.

That case might be better listed in Min's 'second amendment' topic, seeing as the killer was a disturbed individual with a long rap sheet who managed to have a gun on his person just as he was going off the deep end.

So, do you have any actual comment on the case itself, or are you just using the tragic murder of two people as a means to score some cheap personal digs?

Yes, this is about the lax US gun regime rather than any left or right issue. you let crazy people have guns and they will shoot people.

I posted something when this happened in "Fucking cops " thread. I guess you missed it. The guy who did this was disturbed I think, he shot his girlfriend hours earlier. You should also realize when a cop kills someone like Garner and he is not charged, in fact defended by the police there are lots of ill feelings and frustration sooner or later things like this happen and it might be just the beginning. Whether you like Min or not you can't ignore that "fucking cops" thread, there a lot of bad cops!!!!!! I am reading "Rise of the warrior cop" By Radley Balko and it is shocking and depressing.

I'm finding the shooter's message to be confused by his shooting his girlfriend (who apparently is not a cop) before he shot the cops, and his apparent laxity in not finding 2 caucasian cops, instead shooting an asian and a hispanic.

It fucks up the narrative. I'm thinking the shooter was just a nutball.

That or the political thing is just an ad hoc excuse.
