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.

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?

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.

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

Perhaps, but the boys from the hood have street smarts too, so in and of itself it's useless. When put to the wrong uses it's entirely detrimental, dangerous to the public and We the people ...
I think you've leapfrogged the main point here.

Whatever.

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. That's why every Third World immigrant tries to come here. Good morals and ethics are not worth a hill of beans if you are poor and live in South Africa or Brazil or Iraq or the like. 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.
Either you're stupid or just tremendously short-sighted and grandly ignorant. .

Yeah, seems to be a pretty pat reply for someone ignorant of the root reasons for things.

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.

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.

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.

Shorts in a twist 'cause I played Stan to your Hardy and I blew off your Philosopher King pronouncements?
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.

It's no use arguing this any further. Surely everybody here knows both the good and bad ends of the police equation. It's certainly not either-or or a good reason for strife.

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?????
