Putting Wings On Pigs

On Saturday afternoon Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28  fired four rounds at officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The officers, who were hit in head, were assigned from their normal downtown Brooklyn beat to an area of the borough with a high crime rate, authorities said.

New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton said the officers were shot "with no warning, no provocation."

Witnesses saw Brinsley walk to the car and assume what they described as a shooting stance.

"They were, quite simply, assassinated," Bratton said.

At a nearby subway station, Brinsley was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.

A message from a teenage son of Ramos' showed the heartbreaking devastation the crime has caused.

"Today is the worst day of my life," 13-year-old Jaden Ramos posted on Facebook about the slaying of his father, Rafael Ramos.

"Today I had to say bye to my father," the teenager wrote. "He was (there) for me everyday of my life, he was the best father I could ask for. It's horrible that someone gets shot dead just for being a police officer. Everyone says they hate cops but they are the people that they call for help. I will always love you and I will never forget you. RIP Dad."

Brinsley had a lengthy criminal record. He was arrested 15 times in Georgia for assorted crimes and arrested four times in Ohio, Boyce told reporters Sunday.

Ramos had just turned 40; Liu had been married two months ago.

We don't know what experiences this officer has had in people stepping up close to him in the past, do we Nova?

Like those 2 officers who had their shooter come right up to their car. I can see police officers getting very wary of that now. People getting up close and personal, I mean.

You must be joking.  Would you consider it acceptable for policeman to reach for his gun if you would ask for direction to a hotel?  FGS, she was a 30something, white slender woman holding hands of 2 small children.  So she was not reaching into her handbag or pocket.    He was rude for not simply pointing her in the right direction.  I wonder what he would have done if she was black.

Nice icy, you hit the nail on the head with that post. Anarchy!! Your post says it all.

"I wonder what he would have done if she was black."

That is such B.S. You really don't have a clue..... Bla bla bla. Do you disagree just to disagree?? 🙂

You almost seem like your justifying cops being killed. With the above statement, maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I'm getting reading between the lines.

Really?  He did not speak from White House because he is in Hawaii for the Xmas break, but he did condemn the killing.

could've been a decoy

"He was rude for not simply pointing her in the right direction."

Agreed.

"I wonder what he would have done if she was black."

Probably the same thing.

I don't believe any of that story. More like some snotty brit talking down to the cop as if he's some bell hop (not that they deserve that either). "Then she steps closer....". Pftt, I'd tell her to buzz off to. Yep, sound like a snob. "You" know the type.

Pulled out a nuke I reckon.

Total brussel sprouts!
