Gunman kills self after 2 NYPD cops fatally shot ‘execution style’ as ‘revenge’ for Garner

And nobody is saying this is about the movement. Some folks just numb to it cause police have taken too many unnecessary lives this year.

Rest easy to those men for being victims of the racist institution they work for....if that staten island cop got charged these men would be with their family :smh: sad as hell

Some dude from B'more got caught up in the hype. People in NY aren't killing NYPD officers. It took some nutjob from a different state to come into NYC and gun down two innocent officers.

My guess is that the most of you who don't see this as an atrocity aren't from New York.

In my opinion it was very disrespectful. To Garner and to his family!

My coworkers suggested we do that and I told them straight up that it was scumbag ***** move.

I personally feel to just let the protestors protest... No need to protest the protestors (if that makes any sense)

with the exception of one poster i haven't seen anyone "cheer" that two cops were murdered. just because you ain't down in the dumps about some cops being killed don't mean you're cheering their execution

people should not be expected to have more empathy for police at this moment when there's neverending stories like the ones of oscar grant, michael brown, tamir rice, eric garner, andy lopez and so on and so on

people should not be expected to have more empathy for police at a time when police try to flip this by blaming the death of two officers on the people who first called them out for their brutality. they didn't care when people spoke up and actually had the nerve to go on the offensive with some really inflammatory words & actions when people tried to hold them accountable. 

people should not be expected to have more empathy for an organization whose union leaders basically call for "war" against anyone who isn't bowing down to their whims. what, their program to do as they please and continue falsely arresting, abusing and murdering civilians?

too bad those cops died, but i ain't losing sleep for them over the countless civilians who have died at their hands
 
the protests against police brutality across the country need to continue. especially in nyc

NYPD just declared war on black men, WS are blaming anyone that speaks badly of police for these murders. It can definitely get worse. When people in power have this much hate in their hearts and no regard for the law, it can always get worse.
 
People are in the streets marching/chanting for more dead cops, it's not just one moronic NT'er.

It's not, it's incredibly stupid.

Police have been going to war with black Americans everyday for 50 years at some point they were bound to get a taste of the war they so desperately wanted.

Why should I be sad isn't this what they've wanted? You treat people like your enemies and then I'm supposed to be shocked when Some nutcase assumes the role?
 
Those cops shouldn't have been shot, and a misdirected attack from a lunatic against police definitely won't help things and will bring more animosity towards civilians. I think what some posters are trying to say is that we can't expect the public to show remorse when there have been several unfair killings by law enforcement, not saying that's fair but that's how it is. The same way minorities are unfairly grouped as 'thugs', cops are being grouped as 'killers'.

There are overreactions by both sides but it's clear law enforcement has the upper hand considering they aren't even tried for their actions.

Agree with all of this.
 
police are hardly the victims here

they get and will continue to get the benefit of the doubt and full support of the powers that be. they've already done a good enough job to make sure this incident overshadows all the abuse they've been responsible for

and once again, the ones who will pay for their (police) further transgressions/brutality will be the people & communities who they're supposed to "protect & serve"

There's a difference between not feeling remorse, and being excited and encouraging/Co-signing about the killing.

The latter is what's going on in this thread.

I disagree, as posters have said 'too bad' and they are not losing sleep over it which means they have no remorse. But people never said to keep killing except for one outlier.

Stop reaching.

But don't you think the cops wearing those shirts is encouraging and co-signing the death of Eric garner?

They do protect and serve.

Are there are outliers who misrepresent policemen as a whole? Sure there are.

But they protect and serve the people from other criminals. And sometimes that requires them taking them down, when they are endangering the lives of other innocent people who aren't commiting crimes on a regular basis.

What about treyvon martin and the guy at the walmart? What about Garner? All those people were endangering society?

Its just funny you're more willing to jump to the defense of cops versus civilians. Which one are you?
 
If you think these all killings were justified, and there is no need for police reform then I don't think there is anything to discuss.

Edit: This goes for any type of police brutality, regardless of race in which police are not held accountable for their actions.
