NYPD Officer Shot in the Head Has Died

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.

Before Baltimore was burned the first time, I tried to persuade older friends to move away. Anyone could see what was coming.
I finally prevailed when I bluntly told the lady that there was good possibility the next break in, could involve her person, not their money or whatever.
That got thru and they moved way out of town.

Baltimore: 50-years of unchallenged Democrat corruption culminating in an unqualified Negro political hierarchy that literally burnt the city down.
We have hit bottom.

Beyond that it is a human disaster in the making.
Years ago Fed and State government said that in case of "national emergency" our county would receive 100,000 inner city "victims" to house and feed.
We have only 50,000 people in our county.
One has only do the math to see who we would get.

Should it come to that, fedgov's FEMA camps would be the place to house, feed, and cloth those victims.
The rest of the country is stone-cold broke.

The complete opposite seems to happen in this country with far more regularity.

Well said, Katniss. And might I add that before they even kick in your door, these days they might just lob a grenade or two through the bedroom window? And if it lands in an infant's crib and blasts him to pieces while permanently deafening everyone else in the house, well, that's just the price we all have to pay for our "heroes" keeping us safe. Officer safety is paramount, you know; they want to go home at the end of the day; they stand in harm's way for us; ad nauseam.
You'll never hear of an engineer killer or a machinist killer or a piano teacher killer. But "cop killer" has been hammered in to the lexicon. We're all supposed to believe that killing a cop is the ultimate malefaction -- far worse than simply killing a couple of grandmothers.

It will be interesting to see the fall-out, if any, of the stand-down order given to the BPD.
That was the most criminally idiotic order that I've ever witnessed.
Shouldn't all damaged/injured parties file suit against dear mayorette for her willful calling off their tax dollar paid-for protection?
Just thinking...

I've never seen anything like it and I'd bet the Mayor and her subordinate 'nogs have civil immunity to suits. The long-term effect to Baltimore is that it's now the new Watts. Watts has never recovered from Rodney King and neither will Baltimore. I'd bet the Orioles & Ravens franchises depreciated 20% overnight.

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.

Same here.
Some folks whine about being protected & served, but that all changed thanks to the Supremes in 2005. And just as well for my taste. I have some free advice. Protect yourself and don’t expect service from anyone but a prostitute.

I was in and out before many on this board were born so we need to keep that in mind.
The job still comes down to the word NO. In every ghetto in America the youts have never paid attention to the word NO. Papa is a welfare check so when Mama says NO they laugh. When the teacher says NO they throw a chair in his/her direction. When a cop says NO, that tactic doesn't work, hence their confusion and subsequent chimping out.
Some things don't change.

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.

Whatever.

Glad you mentioned that.
In 1960, daughter turned six, due for school. NYC was discussing putting guards in elementary schools...to protect the teachers from the students...
We decided that was not a proper setting for any child.
So I transferred out to a dead end job and never looked back.
Been living here in these hills now for 55 years. Dont lock my doors, not afraid to go out, day or night. No police..

Excellent point. Despite our valid complaints, we must remember who everybody calls when the chips are down, who's putting their lives on the line every day for us, without whom life would be dramatically different.

It's a little more than "whatever."
Without a willing populace accomplice, tryanny as we're now seeing it not possible.
It takes a whole lot of people that willingly work for the government in the most immoral agencies and departments, it takes a whole lot of people willingly working for the MIC that forge the weapons that will one day ultimately suppress them, it takes a whole lot of people to willingly work in the military and LE that oppress others in the name of "law," it takes a whole lot of people willingly willingly teaching propaganda to the public and to our children in the public and even some private schools, it takes a whole lot of people to willingly work for the "news" networks and mainstream newspapers to assist in propagandizing everyone, etc.
These people are among the best paid in the country right now admidst a struggling economy otherwise.
Americans worship at the Altar of Mammon and have sold their souls and morality for wealth. Soon many will have neither wealth nor liberty.
I don't think that's a simple "whatever."

I've got some real news for you - listen up! - every single person on this planet wants and needs money to survive. Americans simply have more of it.

And another thing please be advised that American taxpayer wealth/ Mammon is spread to every nation and continent because otherwise Africa, South America, Central America, much of Asia would fall into themselves and people there would die of starvation or mutual destruction.
America's wealth, the First World's wealth keeps 2/3 of this planet's inhabitants alive. You want to exercise your anti-$ inclinations? There are flights going out to poor Third World nations every day. Please donate your hateful Mammon $ to widows and children of police killed in action before you leave. You won't need $ where you are going, right?

In Chicago, the shootings are mainly black on black, and either drug or gang related. This I know from my sister telling me. ;)

cops beating, tazing, and sometimes shooting and killing people for which a mere verbal warning would have been more then enough,

When I was a kid in Chicago hanging around in the 'hood, a cop would pull up and call over the oldest looking one in the crowd to the squad car. Then, behind the open door of the squad, he would start talking, and at the same time give the guy a few quick jabs in the gut. It worked like a charm, and the kids dispersed rather quickly. ;)

Man you're deluded!
If you're too stupid to see that sacrificing morality for purposes of material gain (aka the focus on the endless quest for mammon), is nothing but a downward spiraling proposition, then sorry, I simply don't know what to say to you.
That statement was like something spewed directly off of one of the major "news" networks.
When people here cannot even see that then it's a real reality check.
And if you think that the only way for society to exist is to exactly participate in the furtherance of a tyrannical government, then just STFU, quit complaining about anything altogether, and just tell yourself that whatever shithole our society devolves to, A, you've earned, and B, has no solution and therefore isn't worth discussing, and then don't waste your time here.
Sad that you don't know, and who knows, perhaps you're an atheist as you sure sound like one by your reasoning, but the majority of people in this nation, its fabric, turned their backs on the Living God long ago! That's the core problem which has resulted in all of the good immoralistic attributes of our modern day marvelous nation.
So run off now and go cite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing the Star Spangled Banner but just don't say a f'ing word when you are finally the direct target of those doing the same.

Watts has never recovered from Rodney King and neither will Baltimore.

Actually the watts riots were in 1965 and while similar, were a different occurrence than the LA rodney king riots of 1991.
Growing up I heard that there were signs in watts urging people to move to the LA suburbs, which thereafter became quickly darker.
