Two NYPD Cops Executed

In a triumph of free speech and creative expression two NYPD police officers were executed while eating lunch in their patrol car. Per the NY Post, investigators believe there is a connection to Ferguson and Eric Garner:

The tragic heroes were working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill when they were shot point-blank in their heads by the lone gunman, who approached them on foot from the sidewalk at the corner of Myrtle and Tompkins avenues in Bed-Stuy.

“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.”

The gunman was a fugitive who had just murdered his girlfriend in Baltimore Saturday morning, sources told The Post.

Minutes after shooting the two officers, he, too, was dead.

And the creative expression connection? This is from the NY Post a mere week ago:

Public defenders appear in ‘kill cops’ rap video

Taxpayers pay their salaries — but that hasn’t stopped two Bronx public defenders from appearing in a vile online rap video that urges black people to kill NYPD cops.

The sickening video, for a rap called “Hands Up,” shows black men holding guns to cops’ heads and features the disgusting lyric, “For Mike Brown and Sean Bell, a cop got to get killed.”

More respectful coversage can be found at NY1:

Brooklyn Rappers Release Video Inspired By 'Hands Up' Protest Chant

Two Brooklyn rappers released a powerful rap video and message about the state of police and community relations around the country.

Rappers Uncle Murda and Maino say they had to use their voices to address the issue.

"I thought that it was a great opportunity to speak about the things the way we see it. You know? You can't ignore what’s happening,” said Maino.

"You can just expect a positive message from this, man. And it’s just real music speaking on real events. And it’s things that people really need to hear,” said Uncle Murda.

A positive message? Here we go:

The music video shows a montage of news stories of officers shooting or beating people. Later in the video, Uncle Murda portrays Eric Garner being choked by an officer.

The video does have controversial images of the two rappers holding a gun to a NYPD officer's head, but they say that's only to ask the question, ‘What if people decided to go that way instead of just protesting?’

"It was like you know what, it is time to make a record. And not so much of a negative record where we're talking about, ‘Yeah let's go kill the police or do something like that.’ But, let's just talk about what happened and what needs to happen. Change needs to happen,” said Uncle Murda.

Wow. What would a negative message have been?

And since you ask, down in the City of Brotherly Love the positive message was lost:

From the text:

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Some city officials are upset over a photo posted to Instagram by a West Philadelphia paramedic, showing two black men pointing a gun at a police officer and describing police as “the enemy.”

The post, which has people upset within the Philadelphia Police Department, states “Our real enemy… need 2 stop pointing guns at each other & at the ones that’s legally killing innocents.”

People just don't have an appreciation for raw, street-real art.

And as to the already raw relationship between Mayor deBlasio and the NYPD, this can only increase the estrangement. Spend enough time telling people that the police are racist thugs and some nutcases will emerge to treat them like racist thugs.

LET ME NOTE: The race of the shooter is not being widely reported, and why should it be? There is no chance it is relevant to the story. In some Progressive Fantasyland.

UPDATE: The Daily News picks up on the Instagram story and adds a name:

Two NYPD officers dead in 'ambush' while sitting in patrol car in Brooklyn by gunman who earlier boasted on Instagram about killing cops (GRAPHIC IMAGES)

Ismaaiyl Brinsley fired at the officers in their squad car outside of the Tompkins Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant sources said. Hours earlier, Brinsley reportedly shot his girlfriend in Baltimore and boasted in social media about wanting to kill cops. Both officers later died at Woodhull Hospital.

"Heavy" provides 5 fast facts, including what looks like a Facebook selfie. If this is accurate he is black and reportedly speaks a bit of Arabic, so no doubt Eric Holder will open an investigation into right-wing hate groups.

Obviously the NYPD officers made the mistake of not putting their hands up.

[Miss Marple]

We are going to see more of this carp for the next two years. The perp was reportedly a Muslim and black, so we have a convergence of grievance groups.

The New York Police need to take a stand. I am unusually not in favor of work actions or public employee unions, but in this case I think it good that they have an organization with clout and the ability to do some sort of work action.

I would suggest not writing one ticket or citation which adds to the city coffers.

[Miss Marple]

New conference with DiBlasio and the police commissioner at 7 PM.

Union guy not mentioned.

[henry]

Yeah, the problem is horse carts in the city. More pikes.

Prayers to the families of those officers.

[Dave (in MA)]

If Choomie had a son, etc...

[daddy]

Wonder how many of the NYPD are considering going on strike? I would imagine that as Union guys they have multiple ways of taking sick days or refusing to work overtime in order to express their displeasure at the lack of support they are getting from DeBlasio.

I am heartened to see Rudy Guiliani on TV a lot lately, and speaking bluntly and unapologetically about what the heck is happening to his city under this new regime of OWS rabble-rousers and racial Grievance grifters, all led and encouraged by an Idiot Marxist Mayor and Racist President.

To me Guiliani is one of the few guys we have now who appears regularly and speaks with authority, and stands upon a track record of great accomplishment. We need many, many more like him as our spokes-guys.

And I'm still angry at him for not doing a much better job of running for President.

Dogs.

jimmy rightfully raises deBlasio's complicity in hyping grievance, but let's not ignore the roles of Ivy League leaders like Amy Gutmann of Penn.

[RickB]

No strike. Just strict observance of all rules and guidelines with particular emphasis on safety. The people of NYC elected a commie and they deserve a police force which follows all rules very carefully. It may take some time in each instance to determine which rule applies and perhaps a bit more time to review decisions with union representatives wrt any safety issues so the people of NYC need to prepare themselves to patiently wait for police to properly respond, if response is even justified after a thorough review of rules and procedures.

If Terry Jones burns a koran or Nakoula makes a YouTube video they are vilified for inciting Islamic kooks in the Middle East.

deBlasio was late because he had to get Zero's blessing on his speech.

The hypocrisy is breath-taking. They are totally ignoring the reason for the murders. How stupid do they think we are. God help America.

[Skoot]

We have tickets for Wicked in a few weeks. I really don't want to bring my kids into that town right now.

[Danube on iPad]

I'd like to see the NYPD keep DeBlasio away from the funeral by whatever means are necessary.

God damned fool.

[Miss Marple]

If I were in charge of the funerals, I would say they were by invitation only.

And DiBlasio would not get an invitation.

But Rudy Guiliani would.

[Miss Marple]

DiBlasio: "Now is the time to concentrate on the families, not on politics."

He is hiding behind the families to avoid questions.

What a terrible person he is!

[Buckeye]

deBlasio says "this is not the time for politics or political analysis".

Fuck him. Shine the spotlight right on his ass.

[Miss Marple]

Glad you caught that, too, Buckeye!

And may I say I heartily agree with you!

[maryd]

Both DeBlasio and Bratton are a disgrace to the offices they hold. Anyone with an IQ over turnip level knows that the assassin was incited by the rhetoric of the likes of Sharpton, DeBlasio, Holder, and Obama over the last few weeks.

I'd like to put them all on an ice floe with a pack of starving wolves.

[Buckeye]

Two completely innocent guys sacrificed at the alter of "racial justice".

Fine job you having been doing improving race relations Mr. President.

[Jane]

This is DeBlasio's legacy. He owns it. I wonder if these cops signed the "do not come to my funeral you turncoat DeBlasio, pledge.

[Iggy]

I wonder if this guy passed any cops on the street who previously would have stopped, questioned and frisked him.

[Danube on iPad]

You get five Rams doing "hands up" and getting applauded for it. You get LeBron and the guys wearing "I can't breathe" t- shirts (and being commended by the president).

What the hell did you expect.

Two NYPD cops can't breathe.

[Iggy]

George Will on Scott Pruitt, OK AG trying to restore a bit if Federalism.

[Iggy]

I look forward to all the footballer and b-baller T-shirts and gestures in solidarity with the dead cops.

[Jane]

De Blasio has blood on his hands. I really can't get over this. He does everything to set the NYC cops up and within a week succeeds. How dare he be at that press conference. He needs to step down.

[Danube on iPad]

Sharpton has blood on his hands. So does Holder.

Never let them forget it.

[Jane]

I think the eruption is going to be huge.

I was at a cocktail party when the news broke (with a bunch of people I don't know). To a person, in MA, they were utterly aware of deBlasio's cop-hating actions, were up on Ferguson and all the other demonstrations, and were pissed beyond belief.

There is hope.

[Danube on iPad]

I remember--very vividly--how, after JFK was shot, the media were able immediately to overlook the fact that that the shooter was a self-proclaimed communist loser, and instead blamed it all on the "climate of hatred" among the rednecks and right-wing extremists whose very heart and soul were centered in Dallas.

Will we now see a discussion of the "climate" that led to these murders? No, I can already tell you: the forthcoming discussion will focus on a single, plainly disturbed young man who happened to be black.

[Iggy]

Good profile of Pope Francis at NRO by interviewing a dude who just wrote a biography of him.

[Beasts of England]

Let's not forget that the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown cases were promoted by Obama and the left to get out the black vote prior to the last two elections. Local cases with absolutely no national significance other than racial politics. The blood is on Obama's hands, as well. Not that he cares...

[Captain Hate]

Sharpton has blood on his hands. So does Holder.

Never let them forget it.

So does 404; he's the one who's been driving this train. Will he return from Hawaii to address his complicity?

[Miss Marple]

Danube, This happened on a weekend and the media wasn't right there to tamp down the response, all being at parties and such.

I have already seen Sally Kohn get a beat down and the rest of the press has been pretty silent on my Twitter line.

Maybe if this had happened on a Wednesday, they could have controlled the narrative. Anything they try to say now will be seen for what it is: damage control and spin.

Plus the union guy said DeBlasio had blood dripping from his hands. That isn't exactly going to be ignored.

[RickB]

"plainly disturbed young man who happened to be black."

He was a black POS thug, just like the other sons of Obama. It doesn't matter a whit what the MFM says, that's who he is and that's how he will be known.

[Jane]

Apparently when DeBlasio walked into the room where the press conference took place, all of the police turned their backs on him.

[Miss Marple]

Jane, there is a video which I can't pull up yet. Judge Jeanine and a Fox reporter just discussed this on her show.

[Iggy]

This is just part of a pattern of awful results stemming from leftist policies. They took the mask of center left politics off, no longer as insurgents but at the levers of power and the results are predictably catastrophic and predictably repulsive to a center right country.
Walter Russell Mead declares Barry's presidency Peak Left.

[Michael (fpa Patriot4Freedom)]

This is exactly what those leftist groups that coordinated the nationwide, anti-police protests were hoping would happen.

MF'nNBC and Sharpton - with the active support of Eric Holder and Pres. Obama - have the officers' blood on their hands.

[Jane]

Here is the video, it's hard to see:

http://t.co/CnHDvPpEtk

The NYPD should go on strike until deBlasio resigns.

[lyle]

I'm too angry to post anything coherent. Prayers for the policemen's families. I hate these Marxist fuckers beyond words. May they burn in Hell for eternity. Obama, Holder, Bane, and every last race baiting fucker has blood on their hands.

[Miss Marple]

Bo Dietl calls for DeBlasio to resign on Judge Jeanine's show. Bernie Kerrick is on, too, but I came in late and didn't hear what he had to say.

It's worth noting for our multi-culti, score keeping, diversity dumb asses that they got an Asian [Liu] and a Hispanic [Ramos] murdered.

Chinless creep makes statement;

Attorney General Holder Statement on Assassination of Two New York City Police Officers in Line of Duty

Attorney General Eric Holder released the following statement Saturday regarding the fatal shootings of two New York City police officers:

“I condemn this afternoon's senseless shooting of two New York City police officers in the strongest possible terms. This was an unspeakable act of barbarism, and I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of these two brave officers in the line of duty.

“On behalf of all those who serve in the United States Department of Justice, I want to express my heartfelt condolences to the officers' loved ones and colleagues. I will make available all of the resources of the Department to aid the NYPD in investigating this tragedy.

"This cowardly attack underscores the dangers that are routinely faced by those who protect and serve their fellow citizens. As a nation we must not forget this as we discuss the events of the recent past. These courageous men and women routinely incur tremendous personal risks, and place their lives on the line each and every day, in order to preserve public safety. We are forever in their debt.

"Our nation must always honor the valor -- and the sacrifices -- of all law enforcement officers with a steadfast commitment to keeping them safe. This means forging closer bonds between officers and the communities they serve, so that public safety is not a cause that is served by a courageous few, but a promise that's fulfilled by police officials and citizens working side by side."

[Captain Hate]

Don't forget the Bosnians like the MFM did, Iggy. Remember when the MFM used to like them? That was a long time ago...

[Miss Marple]

Iggy, I am not buying Holder's statement as anything except a CYA for his earlier statements.

[Captain Hate]

Massive ass covering by the chinless wonder with not one iota of reflection of his role in it.

Ayers / Alynski's tactics are games to the "leaders" like Sharpton and Deblasio. They do not become real to them until they have gone way too far and the backlash actually happens -- they receive indictments instead of money. The GAB and DAs in WI are learning this lesson. Hopefully the rest will soon, before more innocents are killed.

All they have done is awaken the sleeping dragon.

If they learned history instead of narrative, they would know what happens next.

No strike. Just strict observance of all rules and guidelines with particular emphasis on safety.

It seems to me that when the Police went on strike and Calvin Coolidge fired them all, the people were with Coolidge.

When the Air Traffic Controllers went on strike and Reagan fired them all, the people were with Reagan.

If the NYPD goes on strike and DiBlasio tries to fire them, the people will be with the Police.

That to me is what has changed in this country.

[Danube on iPad]

Last night I saw a black gent on either Greta or Megyn who had served in the W White House. Among his duties was screening people for access to the WH. Whenever an applicant was determined to have an IRS lien against him, this guy would notify him that if he came onto the grounds the Secret Service would arrest him.

Minor fantasy: Ed Henry asks that weasel punk why Al Sharpton is allowed on the grounds.

Major fantasy: Sharpton visits the Walker White House and is arrested, handcuffed and frog-marched off the grounds, pour encourager les autres.

Daddy,

The NYPD has handled this type of black trash problem before. The "by the book" approach plus NHI, no response will be more effective than a strike. There may be some blue flue but I don't see why cops would incur costs to make a point when the same result can be achieved at no cost.

Robbing blacks, assaulting blacks and stealing from blacks are going to have very low risk to reward ratios for a while in NYC.
