An NYPD officer who was shot in the head while sitting in an unmarked car has died, according to the New York Post.
The family of Officer Brian Moore decided to pull him off life support, the newspaper reported.
Moore was had been in a coma and "fighting for his life," District Attorney Richard Brown told The Associated Press on Sunday. Two days earlier, he was shot in the head in Queens while sitting in an unmarked car.
Moore underwent surgery for what court papers described as "severe injuries to his skull and brain."
The suspect accused in the shooting, Demetrius Blackwell, was ordered held without bail Sunday after appearing in Queens Criminal Court. He did not enter a plea to charges of attempted murder.
Prosecutors planned to present the case to a grand jury before Blackwell's next court appearance on Friday.
Blackwell's court-appointed lawyer, David Bart, said his client denied the charges, which also include assault and weapons offenses.
Police on Monday continued to search for the weapon.
"This was nothing more and nothing less than a cold-blooded attempt at an assassination of New York's finest," Assistant District Attorney Peter McCormack said.
McCormack said Moore and patrol partner Erik Jansen — both in plainclothes in an unmarked police car — approached Blackwell on a Queens street after seeing him tugging at his waistband around 6:15 p.m. Saturday and asked him "What are you carrying?"
The officers ordered Blackwell to stop and exchanged words with him. That's when Blackwell turned, the prosecutor said, and "in a vicious manner started to fire" — at least two shots.
Jansen was not hit and radioed for help.

This is sad for sure, but it goes with the territory. Those guys take this risk every time they go on the street.

This is sad for sure, but it goes with the territory. Those guys take this risk every time they go on the street.

The complete opposite seems to happen in this country with far more regularity.
Cops busting down wrong doors in "wrong door knocks," usually due to idiocy and negligence, cops beating, tazing, and sometimes shooting and killing people for which a mere verbal warning would have been more then enough, often over nothing even worthy of attention, cops using excessive force often terminally in other situations.
Correct, this comes with the territory, having your dog and/or family shot to death because a bunch of psychotic pinheads are too stupid to correctly identify an address properly, or due to a system that's overreacting to a victimless "crime," hardly comes with the territory. That's tyranny!
So do I have any pity? In contrast the cops do much more damage in this way than they sustain rendering the nation's largest criminal gang, so no, not really. Should we? Think about it, .... should we have pity? Don't know about this specific case, but waxing general, if the cops simply minded the business that the Constitution actually licenses them to do instead of executing every whim, desire, decree, and dicate of a corrupt tyranny, then perhaps these instances would not even happen.
So, tragedy is as tragedy does.

I think YouTube does a good job ID'ing incompetents and exposing them. I wish it were as easy to shine the light on slimy government bureaucrats. Those faceless, gutless desk jockeys wreak far more damage to our nation.

They're all part-and-parcel of the same filthy beast.
Some are cunning and coniving while others are too stupid to get out of their own way. The less intelligent ones become the physical tools of the cunning.

The most illiterate THUG has something the cunning will never have; street smarts. It's easily dismissed by the arrogant but not me.
