2 NYC cops ambushed and shot dead

[AK-47]

Don't join a gang and expect to remain untouched from gang violence

Which gang are you referring to?? The NYPD??

 

[nottyboi]

The people who demonize the police are just as guilty as the shooter.

I would not demonize the Police, but I think there are certainly some cultural issues with the many police forces. Pres. Obama has talked about the militarization of the police, and I think that is a BIG problem.

I'd bet good money your not going to see Asian folks marching through times square with signs reading"I am Wenjian Liu".........."No Justice, No Peace"....No one is even going to question that perhaps the execution had a racial overtone to it because Mr.liu was an Asian American.Of course comparing blacks and Asians is silly.Though you'd be hard pressed to convince early immigrants to America(Many who came here in indentured servitude, a more palatable name for slavery) and folks who were pushed into internment camps in the 40's of the difference, but such is life.

Then again, neither is police killing people with impunity. So the whole thing's fucked, innit. She's just advocating for a fucked (non)solution.

Actually what she is advocating is an escalation. More violence targeting police (who as individuals may have done nothing wrong) makes it more likely that hyped up cops shoot more innocents.

Escalation, solution... any way we or she cares to characterise it, methinks we're agreed that it's one fucked up and stupid response to an already awful situation.

If Al and Jesse were TRUE Men of GOD they would come forward and denounce the murder of the two Police Officers. Am I dreaming? Most likely.

good point. Nothing but dead silence so far.

I think things will get a lot worse before they ever progress towards getting better. There is a growing divide between the have's and the have nots. I wouldn't want to be the one policing the have nots.

We have our own issues here in Canada. Look at how many RCMP and other uniform police officers have been wounded or killed in the line of duty here in Canada.

Pres. Obama has talked about the militarization of the police, and I think that is a BIG problem.

But why has this been? Violence towards police which in the past has let to Army Reserve National Guard Units being used to assist police (not a violation of the Posse Comitatus act of 1878, since they are in this instance State Militia) has lead to police wanting this equipment.

No. They are not.

Also, armored vehicles are used to rescue innocent bystanders hurt in riots.

In case no one has mentioned, several black leaders have condemned the cold blooded murder of these two officers.

I watched the video.Perhaps Mr.Sharptons remarks were spliced, but I didn't hear him say anything about the shooting of the two officers.He talked mainly about the cause of justice for the two dead black men and keeping that clear and undiluted .

Stick your fingers in your ears a little deeper and yel LALALALALALALALA! a little louder, willya?

Our city is hurting, we are hurting. Today we mourn the loss of two NYPD officers who were gunned down in a vicious act of senseless violence.

As soon as news broke of the tragedy in Brooklyn, I spoke with both the families of Eric Garner and Michael Brown. And let me be perfectly clear, we are all outraged and saddened by the deaths of these police officers. Any use of the names of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, in connection with any violence or killing of police, is reprehensible and against the pursuit of justice in both cases.

- Rev. Al Sharpton
