I was hoping a day like this will never come,
when citizens will take laws into their hands and
start shooting police officers because of what
their colleagues did to Mike Brown and ‘I can’t
breath’, Eric Garner, but it looks like the day has
finally come.
Two uniformed NYPD police officers were shot
dead execution style today September 20th while
they sat in their police car on a Brooklyn street
corner and investigators believe they were killed
to avenge Eric Garner and Michael Brown
because of what the killer wrote on instagram
hours before committing the murders. Scene of
the shooting above.
From NY Post
“It’s an execution,” one law enforcement source
said of the 3 p.m. shooting of the two officers,
whose names were being withheld pending family
notification of their deaths.
The tragic heroes were working overtime as part
of an anti-terrorism drill when they were shot
point-blank in their heads by the lone gunman,
who approached them on foot from the sidewalk
at the corner of Myrtle and Tompkins avenues in
Bed-Stuy.
“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.
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.’
“We tried to get out of there, and there was a lot
of shouting, people were screaming, people were
trying to run.
“I threw myself on the floor. I was afraid for my
life and afraid for my baby.”
