Do we actually know who killed those cops
It's very neat and convenient - they appear to have been shot by a marksman - two minority cops shot in the head at the same time reforms are demanded and the killer came all the way from Baltimore and just happened to write a farewell note that includes a threat to cops.

This really looks too neat.
I want more info - yes it's horrible for their families and I grieve for them regardless of who committed this awful act.

I'm skeptical about everything these days.


So, tell us, you ****ing peice of shit, who do you think murdered the two police officers and why?

I wonder what provoked him to this act?...  ::)

28. Accept everything they say never question anything. But it is convenient and I will ask questions. Watch everyone who's crawling out of various holes. Nothing they say changes the video with the murder of Eric Garner -that was not Al Sharpton, the Mayor or the protesters.
They intend to silence the protesters with this.

36. You are making a fool of yourself here.

Just stop it.

Who do you think killed them? Great conspiracy person that you are? Tell us.

I still remember you and nadin saying that the government had ships of dead folks offshore during a hurricane that did not produce the number of casualties that you would have liked.

Remember that? I do. More utter conspiracy nonsense.

Goodness gracious. Stop it. Or tell us who killed the cops, since you do not believe the official story.

Trashing this thread now.

How sad to be someone who can ignore such a horrid act - instead, using it to make into a story of your own.


That's DU in a nutshell.

4. It's not a whole lot at this point

I was searching trying to find out something about the suspect when I found this at Mediaite. It's still not much, but I'm sure they'll update it as more information comes to light.

The NYT has a live update post going on about the shootings. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/12/20/brooklyn-police-shooting-live-blog/

It's a freaking feeding frenzy for the haters on the Right at the moment. It's bad, really freaking insane bad, the way they're blaming everyone from Blasio and Holder to Obama for the shootings


this from the linked DU post above.

Let's see . . . a "marksman," you say?  I saw the Ford Fusion in NYPD paint, that the two were sitting in when they were murdered.  The NYPD had marked the shell casings around the car--the highest number I saw was 18.  No ****ing "marksman" is going to fire 18 times at two targets, when 2 rounds could do the deed. :rant:

Malaise is not lazy in making up wacked-out conspiracy theories.  Theories that a self-respecting monkey wouldn't pull out of its ass and throw at people outside its' cage. :whistling:

It takes very  little brainpower to declare conspiracies.
It takes even less to do so in efforts to support the agenda.
It does take a bit more to come up with a plausible explanation of your stated conspiracy.

Of course it does, nitwit.  Nothing says reasoned, thoughtful analysis better than double-digit IQ poo flingers, grunting at their shadows in confusion.

However, congratulations are in order because you have, unintentionally, encapsulated the entirety of the Useful Idiots' faulty psychological make up, in one curt and concise sentence!

Regardless, I stand in awe.   :rocker: :clap:

237. Turns out the shooter had a history of serious mental issues. Yet another mentally ill person who was able to access a firearm much more easily (and inexpensively) than obtaining help for his mental issues. THANK YOU, REAGAN! 'Cause, let's face it, when you trace a lot of the preventable and senseless ****ery of the past 40 years, it seems to lead right back to him and the GOP, who don't really give a shit about most people, but they sure like to holler about how it's the liberal's fault when shit they're responsible for eventually hits the fan.

293. The tragedy is being used by the NYPD to try to stop the protests against

police brutality. That is reprehensible. It was a terrible tragedy, as was the killing of Michael Brown and all the other African Americans, including even children, killed by cops.

One has nothing to do with the other, so why are they using a tragedy to try to silence legitimate protests against the killing of unarmed citizens?

IF they cared about those two police officers they would definitely not be trying to connect the tragedy to people exercising their constitutional rights.

The very fact that people are questioning the evidence demonstrates how bad the relationship is between the cops and the people. How little the people trust them. That is THEIR fault.

I am asking questions. Which is different to speculating. Speculating would mean providing an alternative to what we have been told.

And maybe if they did not declare WAR on the NYC Mayor and whoever else they are declaring war against, people would not be wondering why they are so cynically using the deaths of two human beings for their own purposes.

355. I'm sorry to see such decent people have their dead loved ones so diminished and the lying NYPD try to connect to them to two tragic deaths.

We KNOW they are decent people. Not sure why you needed to reiterate what is known. And that is all the more reason why what is being done to them is so contemptible.

It's no hard to rise above the gutter and I am glad to see so many people coming out and supporting them and refusing to fall for the devious, deceptive par for the course actions of the NYPD

police brutality. That is reprehensible. It was a terrible tragedy, as was the killing of Michael Brown and all the other African Americans, including even children, killed by cops.

One has nothing to do with the other, so why are they using a tragedy to try to silence legitimate protests against the killing of unarmed citizens?

Uh, because the killer himself said he was going to kill two police officers in NYC to get "justice" for Brown and Garner?  Think that might have something to do with it, you numb skulled dunt?

"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840
