Holy shit! Are these folks mad - former New York cop Harry whoever blaming protests

[malaise]

for two cops ambushed and killed in Brooklyn in their car - shot in the head. Al Sharpton got what he wanted says this moron - misinformation overload on steroids on CNN. Perpetrator killed himself - was wanted in Baltimore.
Even CNN had to say they had no such official connection.

He is blaming everyone and says the mayor should stay away.

[True Blue Door]

1. They're paranoid.

Always happens when privilege feels under siege.

[hrmjustin]

2. I heard on NY1 that both have died.

[ohheckyeah]

3. I'm sorry for these cops and their families but it was bound

to happen. Many are fed up with the police brutality but this isn't how to deal with it, imo.

[brooklynite]

4. UNREC

There is no evidence that this was a response to perceived police brutality.

[Warpy]

34. No, and it stinks to high heaven

This looks more like a hit.

[LiberalElite]

7. It's possible that

this is unrelated to the police brutality cases and the protests. Cops have been killed like this before in NYC. We've always had (and this is a loaded term I know) thugs.

[ohheckyeah]

14. Yes, of course it's possible. All I saw or heard about this

was the OP.

[MrScorpio]

8. There's nothing in the anti-misconduct movement which condoned any violence against police

It was not bound to happen simply because people are fed up with being abused.

Not at this point, it isn't.

[malaise]

11. It is an ex-New York cop pushing this line

CNN made it clear that they have no evidence or even a suggestion that they were connected.

[ohheckyeah]

15. I haven't seen any of the news

about this at all, yet. All I saw was the OP.

[former9thward]

29. The shooter posted on instragram.

They were connected.


?w=300

[pinboy3niner]

31. That's Harry Houck, the same retired NYPD detective who said about Trayvon Martin's death...

"Trayvon Martin would be alive today if he didn't have a street attitude."

[ohheckyeah]

17. I didn't say or suggest the movement was to blame. n/t

[tkmorris]

28. The hell you didn't

It doesn't have to be the end of the world that you did but you do have to own your words.

[ohheckyeah]

30. No I didn't -

if I had I would say so.

[etherealtruth]

10. The protester's are NOT advocating killing anyone!

This psycho killed his girlfriend hours before .... obviously he was disturbed/ evil.

I am sure most of those protesting feel as I do and are HORRIFIED by these horrific murders

[ohheckyeah]

13. I didn't say they were. I also haven't see any of the updates. n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. He wounded his girlfriend.

She is expected to survive.

[etherealtruth]

27. Thank you for the accurate info!

[Raine1967]

5. I have been hearing that he was wanted for shooting a woman in Baltimore.

This is all kinda messed up.

Protesters are getting blamed all ov earth enlace on twitter, just to begin with. UGH.

[ohheckyeah]

16. I didn't suggest or even think about protestors -

I was thinking more about a disturbed and disgruntled person over treatment.

[Raine1967]

20. Oh, me too. I am just seeing people using this right out of the gate to blame

protesters for this. It's disgusting.

[ohheckyeah]

21. I agree - I wish I could join

in the protests.

[etherealtruth]

6. This is horrifying and so are the deaths of people at the hands of the police

Note, most rational folk can be horrified by both ....clearly something this "Harry" jack -a$$ doesn't comprehend

[olddots]

9. If we don't want to be racist and sexist

We should maybe try not to be copist .

I know its hard as hell to not be in leiu of current events that seem to reoccur constantly .

[socialist_n_TN]

12. Yep cops are going to be on the warpath for a while....

I expect quite a few more unarmed folks to be shot in the next few weeks by the PD. It's partly revenge and partly suppressing dissent and partly a pushback against being called on the police violence they use all of the time to oppress the people.

[KingCharlemagne]

19. Yours is a very doleful prediction but one that I fear shall probably prove out. The movement

for social justice will probably acquire many more martyrs before it achieves success. Would that it were not so.

[SomethingFishy]

18. When I saw the headline about the shootings I knew instantly

where the blame would go no matter what really happened.

22. Police union statement

SBA
‏@SBANYPD
The blood of 2 executed police officers is on the hands of Mayor de Blasio. May God bless their families and may they rest in peace.

https://twitter.com/sbanypd/status/546472549589467136



I'd say it's on the hands of the guy who shot the cops. What did de Blasio have to do with it?

[Raine1967]

24. Abhorrent statement. That said, not the Police Union:

Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) which is comprised of approximately 12,000 active and retired sergeants of the NYPD.

https://twitter.com/SBANYPD
I almost think that is worse.
management of the NYPD is showing its colors.

[adigal]

25. Jesus. Not helpful to put this out. And asinine. Nt

[malaise]

26. Guilliani's boys are out of control

Isn't the Mayor their boss?

[octoberlib]

32. I believe so. And ex-Governor Pataki...

George E. Pataki ‏@GovernorPataki 33m33 minutes ago
Sickened by these barbaric acts, which sadly are a predictable outcome of divisive anti-cop rhetoric of #ericholder & #mayordiblasio. #NYPD

Not helping things.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

33. This is sicker and it really applies to everyone......
