New York Post – by Larry Celona, Kevin Fasick and Jamie Schram
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 execution-style mission to avenge Eric Garner and Michael Brown.
“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.”

Thanks angel I didn’t know how to post this
Two New York policemen ‘assassinated’
http://news.yahoo.com/two-york-police-officers-executed-brooklyn-222558989.html
Bahahahahaha! I’m sorry but now killing a pig is no longer a murder but an “assassination”?
OMG…..They really think they are gods now. So I guess killing thousands of us people each year is considered just “playing with the peasants”.
Unfrigginbelievable…..
In regards to the posted article, I find it funny how the killer also decides to shoot himself instead of more cops. Dead man tell no tales.
Also find it funny how he left a message deciding to kill only 2 of them and no more. If he was truly a psycho, he wouldn’t have cared how many he killed. I’m sure we’ll find another manifesto written by the killer somewhere, right? Yea, just another false flag here, folks.
“… cops adjust to working in a ‘wartime police department,’ according to a police union memo…”

“A veteran NYPD officer told AOL News: ‘Cops are not gonna give a s**t anymore.’ ”
So how is that any different than before?
Agreed.
Someone mind telling me why the policemen in all of the pictures for this story on YAHOO are in full military gear and battle helmet for ONE guy who supposedly already killed himself? Is it necessary? Can’t come dressed up as a normal cop to pick up one dead guy?
Unfrigginbelievable…….
Where were they when a thousand open carry guys were at the Washington state capital with their guns? Cowards! Not so tough when you have thousands holding guns and ready to point them right back at ya now, are ya? Bundy Ranch proved that real nice.
Agreed.
Off topic, I’ve sent you something (Check your email. It isn’t Spam). 😉
Thanks, Angel. I got it.
🙂
“…full military gear and battle helmet for ONE guy who supposedly already killed himself? Is it necessary? Can’t come dressed up as a normal cop to pick up one dead guy?”
C’mon, NC. They’d do that for a kindergartener holding a pop tart gun.
Fear for their worthless, miserable stinking lives, you know.
My 6:27pm comment goes for you, too. 😉
Saw it, Angel.
It said “DO NOT OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS”
😆 😉
😆
Yea I know. I just wrote that for any of the sheeple or even some enlightened newbies on here that may be reading the comments. 😉
“They engaged the guy and he did himself,” one investigator said of the gunman’s demise.”
This makes no sense.
But then again, nothing involving NYPD makes sense anyway, as a rule.
NYPD Union Chief: We Must Protect Ourselves Because De Blasio Won’t
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2014/12/20/nypd-union-chief-we-must-protect-ourselves-because-de-blasio-wont/
Well, they do have to protect themselves because supposedly De Blasio won’t and since they “fear for their lives” everyday, rather than simply quitting and taking a “safer” job, then you must realize that their lives are more important than you or I. (sarcasm) 🙄
At least SOME people are starting to shoot them. The dead cop-to-public ratio is obscene. We need a WHOLE lot more to even the score.
“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.”
Camo in the city always blends in SO well. Doesn’t stand out at all.
Stereotype comes to mind.
He wasn’t going to give them the satisfaction of killing him
Right…
…he could have had the satisfaction of killing a few more. Then, if they winged him, he could ‘bite the bullet’.
Besides, dead is dead. WTF does it matter by whose hand, especially when you can increase the body count?
I’m calling b.s. on the suicide bit.
Agreed. The suicide thing makes no sense.
Ain’t it amazing the number of “a crazed gunman” who shoot themselves?
I understand “Suicide by cop”., all you have to do is look at them with a gun (or a toy, or a cell phone, or a wallet) in your hand and they will cut you down like a dog (or like an innocent bystander). Why shoot yourself?
How does “a crazed gunman ” cold-bloodedly execute someone?
How do two cops sitting in their marked car (Donuts and coffee come to mind) become “The tragic heroes”. What was “Heroic” about the episode?
I guess that The Gulag Archipelligo is now no.1 on the Rapper best selling list.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”– Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
The dangers of putting so many people (of colour) in jail.
“Bless you prison, bless you for being in my life. For there, lying upon the rotting prison straw, I came to realize that the object of life is not prosperity as we are made to believe, but the maturity of the human soul.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956
“Ain’t it amazing the number of “a crazed gunman” who shoot themselves?”
“May the odds be ever in your favor”…
Hunger Games.
How are those tough gun laws working out in NYC?
Something smells.
Who would put that stuff on Instagram?
It doesn’t mean there weren’t deaths, but the story was “modified” to push an agenda.
The PD could be cleaning house? These guys wouldn’t take the payoffs?
Marital fidelity problems? Or it could be fake?
Heroes? Bullshit. Lots of other people died yesterday. There’s absolutely nothing special about these two.
As an aside, I wanna get me one o’ them there “wooden handles” for my 1911.
Nice catch on the drill happening simultaneously.
There is now a rule that if you “assassinate” a Cop (communist) then you must commit suicide.
