Two NYPD officers were shot and killed today. Some Republicans imply blaming Mayor di Blasio

So today, two Brooklyn police officers were shot and killed in the Bed-Sty section of Brooklyn while sitting in a squad car. The assistant then fled and ran down into the subway system, where he shot himself in the head, and died on scene. New York Times link here.

Some Republicans have been ramping up the hostility, including former Republican governor George Pataki, who earlier this evening blamed both Mayor di Blasio and Attorney General Eric Holder. But not the NRA.






The spokesman for the NYPD police union, Pat Lynch, was even harsher tonight:

After the murder of two NYPD officers on Saturday, the outspoken head of the city's primary police union blamed protesters and Mayor Bill de Blasio for the deaths of Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos.

"There's blood on many hands tonight," NYC Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association president Pat Lynch said Saturday night, ratcheting up already frigid tensions between City Hall and One Police Plaza. Lynch blamed those who "incited violence on the street under the guise of protest," -- a reference to the swell of demonstrations in New York City and across the U.S. in the wake of a grand jury decision to not indict a New York police officer for killing an unarmed black man, Eric Garner, earlier this fall.

Lynch then went after Mayor de Blasio: "That blood on the hands starts on the steps of City Hall, in the office of the mayor." He went on to praise the fallen officers, and said that those responsible for the killing will be held responsible.

So who is going to be held responsible, since the who shot the police offers and subsequently killed himself. Or is Mr. Lynch making a threat against someone else (marchers, protestors, Mayor di Blasio?)

Last Friday night, during a pro-police-support rally at City Hall, some police officers donned "I can breathe" shirts," twisting the use of Eric Gardner's pleas for air before he died at the hands of a NYPD officer, in Staten Island, when he was arrested for selling loosies on a city street.

He did nothing of the sort. He showed extreme restraint; he could have painted the swine in a much worse light and still have been entirely truthful.

So, I assume, you believe the all that bs, like being worried about his son.

Police and their supporters need to place the blame for the murder of these policemen where it belongs--on Ismaaiyl Brinsley. I didn't hear them blame Clive Bundy for the actions of these two lunatics http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/06/09/las-vegas-shooting-officers-dead-possible-white-supremacists/

Yeah that question you just replied to, was a red herring.

So thanks for your comment.

Do you know me? I assume, on the other hand, you are a great one, correct?
