wow. heard the press conference this afternoon on the radio about that sick murder of the NYPD officers. Because of that TERRORIST, Officer Rafael Ramos's 13-year-old son will never see his dad again, and Officer Wenjian Liu's wife has been deprived of her marriage.
And even more unbelievable...the guy traveled all the way from BALTIMORE to kill the cops? I don't know if i can even write any more here...

(5,644 posts)Nobody deserves to be killed, and certainly any police officer that kills innocent civilians all the time, and gets away with it....?
I heard on the news that some of those officers are blaming DeBlosio for it and have told him not to attend the services. "Smdh"!

(3,864 posts)333 civilians were killed in New York City alone in 2013!
333 in one city.
Why make these particular murder victims out to be heroes just because they were cops? They're not.
What did they do to be heroes?
They were doing their job. Which they get paid to do.
They weren't saving lives, chasing down a killer, they were sitting in a police car.
Window washers die, secretaries die, mothers die, students die--
what is the fetish about cops getting killed?
I'd expect to see this on the rw forum I frequent so i know how the others think, but not here. get a grip....

I don't usually post these but then again I don't usually see alerts these absurd. I was one of the "no explanation" people.
AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service
On Sun Dec 21, 2014, 03:48 AM an alert was sent on the following post:
Silent thread for officers Liu and Ramos
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025986586
REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Incorrectly (and racistly?) labels shooter a terrorist. Thread distract from real issue of police violence on black men. Jingoistic. Disrespectful to victims of police violence and has no place on DU.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Dec 21, 2014, 03:56 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Random violence is a terrorist act, so that part is true. The perpetrator was a terrorist. It's not a race, it's a tactic. There is no one "real issue" when it comes to violence in our country. We are reaching some sort of critical mass wherein violence is almost the first reaction. To illustrate how one family suffers does not diminish the suffering of other victims.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Person deserves to be vilified. OP does not in itself shed any blame of police violence.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(3,864 posts)ridiculous manner. I hope there is a way of knowing who made that alert, and whoever did their alert should subsequently be IGNORED.
I disagree with this thread, but why would I do an "alert"?
some people have too much time on their hands, and they sit on their brains.
