civilians.
The person responsible for the murders of the officers is dead so he pretty much inflicted his own sentence.
And the last time a NYPD officer was killed in was in 2011 (see below).
The last shooting death of an NYPD officer came in December 2011, when 22-year veteran Peter Figoski was shot in the face while responding to a report of a break-in at a Brooklyn apartment. The triggerman, Lamont Pride, was convicted of murder and sentenced in 2013 to 45 years to life in prison.

How many people have the NYPD killed since 2011?
Notice how those that kill officers are ALWAYS imprisoned or dead. But the officer's involved in murders are very rarely even arrested.
