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.

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.

Nicely and accurately stated.
Unfortunately we have some resident apologists in that way.
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.
Lots of that going on here as well. There didn't used to seem to be.

We are looking for someone to lead the parade.
Someone that is willing to stand up, sound off that they will no longer vote nor pay any tax to this government.
So far there are many talkers but no one willing to walk the way they talk.
Perhaps there is someone here on 4um that is willing to make a public stand? Any volunteers?????

Ergo, they talk the cheap talk.

To my knowledge there is exactly one person on the board who walks that walk, with the most chatty windbag being one who shakes his fist at government with one hand while cashing a check from it with the other.

Therefore I encourage non cowards here to walk the walk, proclaim their right to liberty, not one farthing for tribute.

Same here. Some members of this board could go into detail how their effort to resist went, but needless to say it usually doesn't end well if one has "stuff" to lose.

Being the coward I am, I paid my tax and did my time.

To avoid paying taxes all you have to do is declare yourself a sovereign citizen, spell your name in all capital letters and tell the presiding judge that he is illegitimate because an American flag with gold trim is sitting behind him.
It works like a charm, or so I am told.

I suspect most of our anarchist friends here at 4um paid their taxes, like good little citizens.

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).

That's interesting. Thanks for the reply.
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.?
Just curious.

Walk the walk at its highest would be any elected congress person to stand on the Floor, denounce the this government as corrupt, name names, resign his seat and walk out.
Such is walking the walk.

>> Over 10 years, the IRS identified nearly 130,000 suspected cases of tax violations by its own employees.
>>IRS concluded about 10 percent were actual violations.
>> Of 13,000 cases, 1,580 were intentional cheaters.
>> But the managers refused to fire the employees 61% of the time.
>> More than 2,000 employees had multiple red flags during the decade.
>> Investigators pulled a sample of 15 cases where an employee had repeated intentional violations, and found that even there, the majority were allowed to remain on the job.

My question was pretty specific, and I don't think you answered it:

So, in your book, anyone who pays any of these other federal taxes isn't "walking the walk". Is that right?

The system is rigged in nearly every example you list. You have to pay it.
OTOH, if you are self-employed then federal taxes are a different story. Cash on the barrel, under the table labor, etc.

Yes, that was the point I was trying to make. You either pay it, or the quality of your life will be seriously diminished. As will your usefulness to family and friends.
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.

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.
