NYPD Officer Shot in the Head Has Died

Monday, 04 May 2015 12:47 PM
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.

True but rather cold way to view the death of another.
Of course the police were white, obvious racists, innocent black, obviously had right to take a life.
Some unbiased might raise the question, why are there no riots, no burning, no looting by enraged white mobs.

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.

PS ... the last time I witnessed any significant event during which those that are in place to "serve and protect" the people at large, they stood by and allowed criminals and complete thugs to terrorize, beat, and otherwise brutalize, completely innocent and law-abiding people patronizing a local economy in Baltimore with those innocents having their lives risked by inaction on the parts of the likes of which died in this piece.
Again, should we feel pity when these thugs in blue merely do what a tyranny tells them to do while all but completely ignoring the Constitution in so many ways and by not protecting much less serving those that were not in a situation to do so themselves?
What, perhaps next time everyone going to a ballgame in such an arena should pack heat and handle the problem themselves. I'm two thumbs up on that!

He was in what's called a street crime unit. It's plainclothes & this kid saw what he believed to be a gun in his waistband. As he approached, the mutant shot & subsequently killed him.

There'd be a one-way ticket here for Mr. Demetrius in return for a dead-to- rights, open-and-shut case of homicide in the streets.

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.

Beyond that it is a human disaster in the making.

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.

Shouldn't all damaged/injured parties file suit against dear mayorette for her willful calling off their tax dollar paid-for protection?

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 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.

We decided that was not a proper setting for any child.
So I transferred out to a dead end job and never looked back.

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.

I guess I initially and mistakenly thought that there was some hope and that perhaps you really weren't that dense. Apparently that's not the case.

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.

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.

Are you being sarcastic again, or have you gone Stockholm on us now?
Very few cops actually put their lives on the line every day for us; most spend their days generating revenue for their and our masters, and feeding the Prison Industrial Complex.
Law enforcement is always absent on any list of the most dangerous jobs. My brother is a roofer (#4 on the list below); he puts his life on the line for us every day more so than the average cop. But nobody lauds my brother as a hero for that.

So someone got shot. It happens every day so what is so special about a cop that he should be news and not the others?

Cops are special because they work for the government. And government is the fount of all blessing, security, prosperity, and health. Therefore the life of a government agent is worth infinitely more than your life or mine, or that of your sister or my mother.

Chill out. You're not saying anything new that I haven't thought myself or heard from others before.
This nation is fudged.
But the line that still remains between anarchy and civility imho is held by the local men in blue. Some are corrupt. Some are lazy. But the majority are true to the badge they wear to serve and protect. My personal experience is with the majority. I trust my local police officers 1000 times more than some yahoo on the net whining about how roofers jobs are more dangerous than that of police officers. Roofers don't stop collateral damage dribbling over to adjacent law abiding CA communities next to to Riverside, East LA, or Salinas, or East Palo Alto, or Oakland.
I live and travel in a state that's one of the most populous, most dangerous, and safest in the USA. Safest designation does not come out of thin air. So I thank the police officers who make safe happen and I am saddened when a police officer loses his life while on duty due to a piece of garbage.

Well, as formerly implied, your ignorance of the thousands of reports and videos of psychotic behavior of those same men in blue precedes you.
Many have the same view of the our service members, most of whom as individuals are probably very nice, however in their collective role they produce a globalized psychotic mob that terrorizes huge parts of the globe, randomly, according to the anti-Christian establishment that dictates their orders.
Yet, the vast majority of Americans actually thank them for the group psychotic behavior and deaths of innocents worldwide.
Here's the thing scrapper, where are all of these good men when the rest happens?
Huh?
You ignorantly said this, a tiresome, cliche'd, and braindead statement;

But the majority are true to the badge they wear to serve and protect.

Really? They're true to the Constitution are they?
So why do they enforce, friendly or not, unconstitutional laws? Hmm? Let's see if your emotionally oriented brain can wrap its one demented arm around that one.
And if they're so loyal and true to that badge, which bears an oath that pledges loyalty to that very Constitution, where's the outcry, both from superiors running departments as well as from all of these peers of those that behave like psychotic beasts?
Ignorance is no excuse. Simply because you may not be aware of the scores if not hundreds, perhaps even thousands of misuses and abuses of authority daily on the parts of those you prefer to praise, does not render them as not having happened. Sorry, that's a fact.
So where's the outcry? Where are the denouncements by entire departments and other local cops? Hmm?
Where are the good ones that you talk about insisting that the others stop beating someone or stomping on their head? Oh yeah, that's right, they're behind them watching.
What ever happened to the old saying "not saying 'no' is just like saying 'yes'" when applied to your heroes?
Got it.
So yeah, they're protecting and serving alright, each other and the immoral and anti-Christian governments that pay their wages. They can't possibly be serving anyone else if they ignore the Constitution as they do. Oh yeah, I know, it's all legal. Unfortunately Constitutional and "legal" aren't always the same. Neither are moral and "legal." But hey, who said that America is a moral nation any longer. That ship sailed long ago there toots! You seem to disagree with that.
You're a fool scrapper, a real fool.
No doubt you live in some rural area too. I just love it when people talk about how their local police department of 10 people are good. It's a real laugh riot.
Yeah, maybe if we all lived in towns with populations of 1,000 none of this would exist. Then again, perhaps if the world was made of chocolate ...
Here's what I don't trust, buffoons on the internet that spout the party line and ignore reality in creating a little world view of their own because it suits their personal emotional state, one that seems imbalanced to begin with.

Oh, IMO this issue is clearly black and white.
I'll disagree as well that everyone here knows the good and bad ends of the police equation.
For the record, I don't see much of a good end these days. If there is, it's silent, which is clearly indicative that it's nowhere close to being dominant or even balancing.
As with anything police, IMO it all boils down to the "luck of the draw" in terms of simply not being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I don't think that too many people trust the police as they once did, even people that back LE otherwise. I hear a lot of people saying the same thing to their families and kids, steer clear of them.
People like scrapper and war are clearly two that do not understand the good and bad ends. There are good ones, but not nearly enough of them to shed the image of overall being an organization to be more wary of than trusting of.
The bad ones are dominating their departments and the adminstrations are defending the bad ones, which makes them bad implicitly if they're not directly bad. We simply cannot claim that good cops defend bad behavior and immoral police activity. That's illogical.

Sadly, many people are simply insusceptible to any truth that they find unpleasant; one that conflicts with what they wish were true. As Patrick Henry said, "We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth..."
They remain impervious to that unpleasant truth until they are personally affected by it.
A man sees no problem with massive 3rd world immigration until he loses his own job to an illegal immigrant. That his next door neighbor and 20 million other Americans already lost their jobs (and the ones fortunate enough to still have jobs have seen their wages driven ever downward by the vast number of illegals in the job market) didn't seem to bother him.
A man says, "Nobody needs to carry a handgun (except cops, of course)", until his own wife is forcibly raped.
Similarly, someone who continues to indulge in the hopeful illusion that most cops are good cops, that the few bad cops make the many good ones look bad, etc. will never change his mind until he or one of his own family members has his life ruined by one or more of the "bad" cops, while all the supposedly good cops LIE LIE LIE to cover up for their errant brothers in blue.
Trying to prove that the law enforcement industry is, in the main, almost totally corrupt, is like trying to prove that water is wet.

Where it loses me is when people pick and choose which parts of the establishment they deem to be sick instead of recognizing that the entire beast is morally not well. This only serves to divide the populace and place blame for it on "the other half" thereby merely falsely displacing blame on elements that are the least directly at fault.

We seem to be descending into an abyss here. Do people need to get up off the computer for some fresh air, hmm?
Just to show you what a cowardly anonymous windbag you are, Cyni -- your term -- I don't get a government check, don't pay any income taxes OR anybody to rig my books that way, and don't vote. (Now that you've shot your own credibility so enthusiastically, BTW, what's the point of going logorrheically on?) There are lots of people like who can say the same. But I can tell you one thing I know personally, when a liberator arises he gets virtually no support from the sheeple.
Such leadership requires full-time work, but nobody pledges even $10 a week to him much less the thousands he deserves. When he goes to court, people like you folks don't back him up by filling the courthouse. Once he's in the brig you don't write him, offer help or support his family.
amerika gets the government it deserves -- and the salvation from among its own ranks. "Trying to organize conservatives is like herding cats"... why do they look like hyenas so much of the time?
What may I ask is the point of insulting and bickering with people you'll never meet here and calling them names, gang? We can get the job done without it. We usually do.
No, I don't profess to be one of the leaders I'm describing. I mean the national names who walk the walk no matter what it costs them personally (usually plenty).

It's probably true that anyone who is posting here is not in federal prison for nonpayment of taxes, but that doesn't mean that everyone who doesn't pay taxes is necessarily in federal prison. I don't have a link, but I think the IRS itself has admitted that there are a large number of (still unimprisoned) people who do not pay federal taxes despite the government's contention that they are liable to do so.
Do you draw the line at nonpayment of federal income taxes as the sole qualifier for "walking the talk" status, or do you also include refusing to pay all of the other federal taxes such as those on gasoline, beer, wine, & liquor, tobacco, cell phone, air transportation, guns & ammo, etc.?

The only way to completely avoid financing the US government would be to leave the country and never come back (even then the IRS might mercilessly hound you forever). I have a friend who has done that, and it has cost him much in many ways, especially with respect to personal relationships.

I think that myself and my family are doing just about everything possible. It's cost us dearly financially Cyni. I don't preach anything that I cannot back up with action.
Some things just wind you up in jail. I've already instructed my bookkeeper that I'm not paying any fine for not having Obamacare. How many are doing that? I doubt that it'll be avoidable since they would take it from any refund anyway, hopefully there won't be one, that's always my goal.
Armed resistance is a fool's game at this point. Once TSHTF it's going to be a relative free-for-all.
The bottom line is that without truth and good info, people are going to make errant decisions. That's unavoidable. The question is why are they ignorant in that way? The reasons for it are not going to change. The populace has chosen freely to clutter their minds with establishment garbage, either in the form of entertainment or what they call "news."
There's not even setting an example because people would rather have wealth than to make the sacrifices required of them to do the things that would prevent this moral freefall of society.
It's all about choices Cyni, and people have such a short horizon for determining what those choices will be in light of the short, medium, and long range impact of those choices. The short-term impact is always front and center. That's the one that appeals to mankind's basest instincts and most immediate desires. It's unfortunate, but that's never going to change.

Did I say only that?
Once again, your shallowness of thought surfacing like an emergency blow on a navy sub.

I think that myself and my family are doing just about everything possible. It's cost us dearly financially...

I hear you, brother, and you're not alone, believe me.

Cops are special because they work for the government. And government is the fount of all blessing, security, prosperity, and health. Therefore the life of a government agent is worth infinitely more than your life or mine, or that of your sister or my mother.

And being a cop is one of the safest occupation just slightly below working in an office; and the pay is much higher.

It sure as hell isn't one of the most dangerous, ... unless you're not among them and have the "pleasure" of dealing with them.
