Two New York City police officers were shot and killed ambush-style Saturday afternoon as they sat in their patrol car in Brooklyn, according to two law enforcement sources.
Both were shot in the head, one of the sources said. Few other details were available.
They were rushed to a hospital in critical condition, said police spokesman Sgt. Lee Jones.
The families of the fallen officers were at Woodhull Medical Center on Saturday, as dozens of police officers gathered in a show of support.
The officers -- one with two years' experience, the other with seven years on the job -- were normally assigned to downtown Brooklyn but were working a "critical response" detail in an area with higher crime, police said.
End communication.

Garbon is not boring. Reading you justifying your lack of attention to detail is.
It's not a lack of attention to detail to start a new thread for a this incident, any more than it was to start a thread for the police shootings, rather than putting them in the gun thread.
Well I'm not going to participate in this thread, but participate in the other, bigger New Yorkyer thread.

That is your prerogative. Unless I merge the New York thread into this one, which would be ridiculous and petty.

Garbon is not even real. He's a fictional entity created by CdM to exercise writing a believable gay black Republican for an unpublished novel.

I don't believe it. CdM would never have written an unpublished novel.

It's not all in vein.
A nice statement of condolence from the dead black dude's family to the families of the two dead cops.
Which dead black dude? There's a whole pile of them these days.
The dead NY dude.
The one they choked to death?
That's the one.

That's a nice gesture, and hopefully shows some people that it is possible to rise above the bullshit rhetoric and self-serving stances. People need to remember that the people on the other side are humans, too.

Ah wasn't sure if you meant him or the family of the guy that shot the officers.
They were on TV too, but mostly bitching about him not getting enough help.
