Two NYPD Cops Murdered Execution Style In Brooklyn

A Maryland man with ties to Atlanta and New York went on a shooting rampage on December 20 — first shooting his girlfriend in Baltimore, then traveling to Brooklyn to kill two police officers, citing recent incidents of police violence as reason for his actions. Via NYpost:

Two uniformed NYPD officers were shot dead Saturday afternoon as they sat in their marked police car on a Brooklyn street corner — in what investigators believe was a crazed gunman’s assassination-style mission to avenge Eric Garner and Michael Brown.

“No warning, no provocation — they were quite simply assassinated, targeted for their uniform,” Police Commissioner William Bratton said.

Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill in Bedford-Stuyvesant just before 3 p.m. when they were shot point-blank in the head by lone gunman Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28, who had addresses in Georgia, Maryland and Brooklyn.

Moments after killing the two officers, Brinsley, too, was dead, having turned his gun on himself on a nearby subway platform as cops closed in.

Liu, 32, a newlywed of only two months, had seven years on the force; Ramos, 40, dad to two sons, had two years on the job.

Brinsley was already a fugitive, suspected of putting a bullet in his ex-girlfriend’s abdomen at her residence in Baltimore at 5:45 a.m. Saturday, Bratton said.

By early Saturday afternoon — just three hours before shooting Liu and Ramos — vile anti-police threats were posted to Brinsley’s Instagram page. The threats referenced the recent police-involved killings of Garner and Brown.

This is insane. Hit the flip to see his threatening Instagram posts and the rest of this tragic story…

The blood on Brinsley’s pants in the above photo is alleged to be that of the girlfriend he shot in Baltimore just hours before the shooting in Brooklyn. According to CBS news, she was shot in the stomach with the same gun he used on the police. Thankfully her injuries are not life-threatening and she is expected to recover.

More on the tragic police killing:

Brinsley walked up to the cops’ patrol car at the corner of Myrtle and Tompkins avenues, approaching from the sidewalk.

“They were siting in a marked NYPD car, in full uniform,” Bratton said of Liu and Ramos.

Brinsley “took a shooting stance on the passenger side and fired his weapon several times through the front passenger window, striking both officers in the head,” Bratton told reporters.

“Officer Liu and Officer Ramos never had the opportunity to draw weapons,” he said. “They may never actually have even seen their assailant — their murderer,” he said. Witnesses also said Brinsley opened fire without uttering a word, a law-enforcement source told The Post.

Brinsley stood stock still for a few moments, fleeing into the subway when he heard the sirens of a second police car.

Brinsley fled south on Tompkins to the subway where “they engaged the guy and he ‘did’ himself,” an NYPD investigator said.

“While on the platform, Brinsley shot himself in the head — took his own life,” the commissioner said.

Terrible! This man was obviously extremely sick, disturbed, and looking to go out in a blaze of glory. It’s unfortunate he chose this cause to hinge his own selfish need for attention on.

This tragic double murder is already becoming a hot topic within the current #BlackLivesMatter movement — we really hope it doesn’t undo all the work of the millions of PEACEFUL protesters calling for an end to excessive police violence.
