Two NYPD Cops Murdered In “Execution Style” Ambush, Shooter Commits Suicide – Live Coverage

The simmering cold war involving the NYPD and various elements of New York’s population just went nuclear when a little before 3:00 PM, reports hit that two NYPD officers were shot in their patrol car, and subsequently died, in what has been dubbed an “execution style” ambush in Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy area. The alleged shooter was chased by police and subsequently died of a self-inflicted gun wound.

According to Fox both officers died from gunshot wounds, citing city councilman Robert Cornegy. As RT reports, the shooting took place in Brooklyn outside of the Tompkins Houses at around 3pm. The shooter reportedly came out of the building before shooting the officers patrolling the area.

The suspect reportedly fled into a subway station where officers found him suffering from a gunshot wound that appeared to be self-inflicted. He was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to the Times.

The manager of a nearby liquor store told the Times that he saw the officers hunched over in their cruiser and said at least one of them looked like they were shot in the head.

The wounded officers were rushed to Woodhull Hospital in “grave” condition as at least one of them was hit in the head. The New York Post further reports that that both officers were shot in the head at point-blank range.

“It’s an execution,” a law enforcement source told The Post about the ambush.

Based to preliminary reports, the uniformed officers were working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill as they sat in their marked police car on a Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, street corner.

As the NYT’s David Goodman reports, the name of the shooter appears to have leaked and it is Ismail Brinsley (this is unconfirmed by the NYPD).

Some more details about the shooter and his motives from the NY Post:

I’m Putting Wings on Pigs Today,” a person believed to be the gunman wrote on Instagram in a message posted just three hours before the officers were shot through their front passenger window.

 

The post included an image of silver automatic handgun with a wooden handle. Another post showed camouflage pants and blue sneakers which matched the clothing the dead gunman was wearing as his body was carried from the scene on a stretcher.

 

“They Take 1 Of Ours … Let’s Take 2 of Theirs,” the post continued, signing off with, “This May Be My Final Post.”

 

The gunman was a fugitive who had just murdered his girlfriend in Baltimore Saturday morning, sources told The Post.

From the NYT:

Chief Royster said the suspect opened fire on the police officers, ran up Myrtle and went into a subway station. The man died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, Chief Royster said.

 

Fire Department officials said that a 911 call came in around 2:50 p.m. reporting that two people had been shot.

 

Charlie Hu, the manager of a liquor store at the same corner, said he saw two police officers slouched over in the front seat of their patrol car. At least one of the officers, Mr. Hu said, appeared to have been shot in the head.

 

The last officer killed by gunfire in the line of duty was Peter Figoski in 2011.

More details on the shooting:

Minutes after shooting the two officers, he, too, was dead. He fled to a nearby subway station, the G-train station at Myrtle and Willoughby avenues, where, as pursuing cops closed in, he shot himself on a crowded platform, sources told The Post.

 

“They engaged the guy and he did himself,” one investigator said of the gunman’s demise.

 

Both shooting scenes — above and below ground — were scenes of blood and terror.

 

“I heard shooting, — four or five shots,” ear-witness Derrick McKie, 49, told The Post of the cops’ tragic murder. “It sounded like from a single gun,” he said. Ambulances and police cars rushed to the scene, he said. “I seen them putting the cop in the ambulance. He looked messed up,” McKie, a barber, added. “He took a high caliber weapon to the face. He was lifeless…I couldn’t see where the holes was that, all I could see was blood. His body was lifeless.”

 

Modal Trigg Carmen Jimenez, 32, a social worker from Bedford-Stuyvesant, was on the subway platform when the gunman ran inside, pursued by officers.

 

“Everything happened so quick,” said Jimenez, who is eight months pregnant. “We were standing waiting for the G train. We heard arguing from the other end of the platform.

 

It looked like two cops came in there was lots of yelling and they said, ‘Everybody get down.’

I don’t like seeing cops getting smoked any more than I like seeing civilians getting smoked by cops. Cops killing civilians seems to be a bit disproportionate of late just as cops being found “justified” has been as well. Both sides seem to be reaping what they have sown with the cops reaping a little more than their due. It would seem that a balance is now being sought. Perhaps a bowl of salty, buttered popcorn in in order?

It’s gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. Don’t get caught in the middle.

Don’t Shoot, We are just sitting in a car minding our business.

Hope Obama and Holder aren’t so upset over this it ruins their vacation fun times.

Jessee and Rev Al are probably rushing to the scene to comfort the families of the police.

“Which leads us to today, and the latest nonsenical murder, in which a lone crazed gunman, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, executed in cold blood and in broad daylight two NYPD officers as “revenge” for Eric Garner and Michael Brown. In other words, vigilante justice which, according to some, was encouraged by the mayor himself. One such person was former New York Governor George Pataki who in a tweet moments ago, blamed the murder of officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos on the “divisive anti-cop rhetoric” of mayor de Blasio and outgoing attorney general Eric Holder.”

All we need are a few more cops killing people, a few more cops being killed by people, and we’ll have some type of marshal law.

Remember how we used to laugh at the other country’s that had this kind of shit going on? Law enforcement and military on every corner, slinging assault weapons, asking for papers.

Just read the headlines on Drudge and a few other places. It’s not likely to happen but as I read them, I wondered if that thin blue line might begin being tested in the next few years? Most cops probably have room temp IQ’s but that’s enough to put doubt in their minds.

The thing I thought was interesting in Ferguson was the fact that the families of cops were being considered as targets. If that catches on, shit is going to get really interesting really quick!

TPTB have to keep the police happy. If they don’t they won’t have leg breakers to do their will. They could hire gangs but that wouldn’t look good.

The NY shooter was arrested 19 times in the last 10yrs, many of them for violent offenses. The cops and the “Criminal Justice System” are a fucking joke. Unless and until the stupid “laws” are changed and criminals are really taken off the street, I could care less what happens to our “Professional Law Enforcement”. Personally, I don’t want to see another human being, even a copfuk, shot and killed. But, they are their own worst enemy. They fuck with American Citizens continuously, shoot our pets, terrorize our families, &TC. And they want our fucking respect? I don’t think so!

As I have posted, the Cops are going to stop venturing into crime ridden neighborhoods. Theses no-go zones will become killing fields. All the Cops will attempt to do is keep the animals in their zone. Blowbacks a bitch, and the real losers will be the good people trapped in these zones with no way out.

A war has begun. I really don’t think the natives are going to come out on top. But I am truly going to enjoy the show, it should prove to be very interesting.
