A local tragedy, but really not that important in the grand scheme of things.

Oh but it is! The media forced the police targeting blacks and two dead police as a result.

The NYC mayor, many sports athletes, Hollywood drones, congressman, the POTUS, and his attorney General, Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakhan, and a violent riots were resulting from unsubstantiated "witnesses" proved to be lies. Hands up was a lie in the Brown case.

The Police Department in N.Y.C. is in Trouble due to the current Mayor's philosophy of Enabling violence against the very foundations of any society first & foremost , Law & Order!-as a law abiding citizen of this city I'm angry & saddened at this spectacle. He should Step Down as Mayor or as has been said "If You Can't Take The Heat, Get Outta The Kitchen"!

In America a lunatic can freely obtain a gun. It is his right. See: Newtown, Connecticut.

The Second Amendment requires all mentally unstable and racially motivated hatred be armed with the most sophisticated weapons available.

These Officers, this deranged killer and twenty tiny children must all die for Freedom.

The US Constitution demands it, and EVERY Gun Manufacturer LOVES this slaughter! It makes profit an easy sell.

What good is profit if it can't be the result of blood? Place the blame wherever you choose. These Police Officers died because the Second Amendment required their deaths and a mad man had no trouble shooting his girlfriend and then stalking Police Officers to kill without meaning or reason. Hooray! The Second Amendment! Guns are Freedom!

Freedom! The Freedom to kill, the Freedom to kill with guns! Without guns there is no Freedom, and these Police Officers died for Freedom, the Freedom to kill with a gun. The Second Amendment guarantees Slaughter. A gift from the Age of Reason.

That's America. Freedom to Kill and the Gun Manufacturers, and their Prostitute NRA, lick the blood from the streets to feed their hunger for wealth. And no one shall question the authority of the Gun Manufacturers and their Prostitute, the NRA. That would be the end of Freedom, and Americans know more about that than everyone. Because the NRA told them. Sick.

For people that don't care about cops, the law, respect them or don't understand what they do in their daily lives to keep all of us safe, it might indeed be an unimportant thing.

Very clear: "the Gun Manufacturers, and their Prostitute the NRA, lick the blood from the streets to feed their hunger for wealth. And no one shall question the authority of the Gun Manufacturers and their Prostitute, the NRA."

In America a lunatic can freely obtain a gun. It is his right. See: Newtown, Connecticut

The shooter in Newtown tried to buy a gun, but was turned down because of his mental health history. The national instant check system had his name on the "no-sell" list. The guns he used were stolen.

How many people are murdered by guns in America every year? Remarkably few considering there are more than 200 million guns. More than four times as many people are killed by cars, do car manufacturers have blood on their hands for making cars so easy to buy? Do states have blood on their hands for making it easy to get drivers licenses?

30,000 people kill themselves in Japan every year (Japan's suicide rate is vastly higher than America's), many by jumping in front of trains, do train companies have blood on their hands for not making it more difficult to jump in front pf a train?

The second amendment was written before any of our current gun manufaturers existed. Americans are citizens with the same rights as police. They are not subjects who are of a different class. In a class-free society like America's, you cannot give any class special privileges or rights. Freedom comes with responsibility, if you want a truly safe society where no person can hurt another person, you are going to have to tie them up and keep them in a rubber room.

The crime rate in America is at record low levels, decreasing by one-third in my lifetime. It is not the problem which news and the media would like us to believe it is. The media is the one with the blood on it's hands in this situation when they print stories saying "witnesses stated that Brown was running away when he was shot" when we later find the opposite was true. The media lives to see blood and mayhem, so they can attract more viewers and sell more advertising. If the story is not bloody or contraversial enough, they can add a little spin or innuendo, or even flat-out lie. The news profits more from violence than any gun manufacturer. Why do you think lunatics go on killing rampages? Because they know the media will show their pictures and names to the world. If the media said nothing when these pathetic people went on killing sprees, do you think they would bother?

sangetsu03Dec. 28, 2014 - 10:33AM JST "The guns he used were stolen.": A Lie: False and self serving distortion. You, Sir are a liar.

The Police Officers, slain by a lunatic, who shot his ex-girlfriend in the stomach to kill her, before stalking Police Officers to kill in their role as protectors of every man, woman and child in the community they served, were slain by the Second Amendment, the whore NRA and the Gun Manufacturers.

And you, Sir, applaud that horror. The Sea of Blue is our honor and our respect for the Community WE serve. How dare you desecrate the suffering of our Brothers and Sisters, their Families and honor the slaughter your deranged logic justifies. Shame on You Sir, Shame on You.

kcjapan AND sangetsu: I believe the weapons and ammunition in Newtown murders belonged to the shooter's mother.

Remove the guns from law abiding citizens and gun deaths will continue. Street punks will always obtain them.

For the two officers, may they rest in peace. Their colleagues showed deserving respect and solidarity for them as de Blasio spoke, who by the way was late for the service.

The Bushmaster M4 Carbine that Lanza used in the Newtown was stolen from a person who legally owned fire arms, his mother, who he killed in the process of obtaining the weapon. If that's not steeling the gun as sangetsu says, I don't know what would be. But don't let the facts get in the way of your ranting...

Sea of blue mourns slain New York police officer

And when Communist Mayor De Blasio's face came on the giant promoter they turned their backs to him as he has turned his back to them!

Bravo Zulu to all those brave men and women who keep our nations safe and free from anarchy!

Outside the church, in a gesture seen in previous incidents since the killings, a sea of blue-uniformed police turned away in protest as de Blasio took the podium.

Hope that the mayor and the Co-mayor/Co-President Al Sharpton got the message!

For the folks on the far left who just don't get it, "your Communist hate isn't the rule of law!"

Any comment from Al Sharpton and the other race-baiters? Are they proud now?

Well do something about it, Mr Vice President! Scrap the superannuated right to bear arms of the second amendment to the U.S. constitution.

The second amendment is written with the same ink and on the same paper as the other amendments, and it is the second of all the amendments created due to how important it was thought to be. If the second amendment is struck down because it considered "superannuated", then what about the other amendments which were written at the same time?

The second amendment was reaffirmd by the Supreme Court recently, and neither the Vice President, nor his boss the President have the right or the authority to scrap it, and thankfully so. It is the law of the land, they are required to abide by it, like it or not. They took an oath to uphold the constitution, not to change it. We already know how little they respect the fourth and fifth amendments, and how hard they have tried to listen in on and gather information on American citizens without probable cause, and without obtaining warrants.

As a former police pfficer who spent nearly ten years working in an American inner city, I am a strong supporter of the second amendment. People need to be able to protect themselves when the police are unable to.

Hey WilliB. I would like a quote too! This is to anybody really. Can anybody quote Al Sharpton or any one else with words that showed support for killing policemen either before or after these murders?

Making accusations is easy. Proving them is a bit harder. Ball is now in your court.

When this story first broke it made me upset to the point where I wanted to cry. This all could have been avoided if the Grand Jury would have indicted those officers who choked a man to death. People don't understand (for whatever reason) that you can be against police brutality but still support our boys in blue. Incidences like this bring me relief that my father is no longer here. He was an officer of 25 years, and everything that is happening in this country would boil his blood and feel ashamed for what those NYPD officers did. I pray that the family of these two officers will be consoled, healed and continually supported by their second family.

Some people are trying to locate Mr Liu's relatives in China. I heard in news after lunatics killed two officers in patrol car. So, his funeral will be delayed. His widow was holding his crying mother and his father was behind.

NEWTOWN, Conn. -- Adam Lanza, the suspect in the suburban Connecticut elementary school shooting rampage, tried to purchase a "long gun" rifle from a local shop but was turned away because he did not want to wait for the required 14-day background check, law enforcement sources said Saturday.

Am I lying? The guns he used were stolen, he did not buy them. "Google is your friend", or so the saying goes. Search yourself, you can get the information on .014 seconds.

And you, Sir, applaud that horror. The Sea of Blue is our honor and our respect for the Community WE serve. How dare you desecrate the suffering of our Brothers and Sisters, their Families and honor the slaughter your deranged logic justifies. Shame on You Sir, Shame on You.

I was a police officer in America for nearly a decade, after serving several years in the Army. I have responded to many calls where a citizen with a gun shot or scared away a criminal. I am white, but I have never shot at a black man, though I can't count how many I have chased, wrestled with, or arrested. I have a really cool scar on my left leg caused when a .357 was fired through a car door at me. I daresay I know more about this subject than you.

Readers, please stop bickering.

I know when I first heard this news I was incensed. There is nothing that can make up for the lives of these 2 men that took up the oath of law enforcement to protect and serve the public. "Minority" ethnicity's to boot. RIP and pray for their families, because the affects of losing a loved one to a violent action committed by a damned ignorant fool isn't going to "go away" with time.

All because the idiot Ismaaiyl assumed they were Caucasian. But I'm sure it wouldn't have mattered to violently criminal minded fools like him because all he did was hate cops, because he was arrested a lot, because he kept breaking the law in the first place!

As I said, I notice a lot of these types of shooters off themselves after they realize what they've done and it sinks in that there is no chance in hell they're going to get out of the consequences of their actions without the wrath of the public and the Justice system. ..

Hear is a fact or two....

Full auto (machine guns) are available to the public who have no criminal or mental past. How many have they killed in the last decade or two?

Bludgeoning deaths out number rifle deaths. Ban those hammers!

200 million guns......how many criminal shootings?

Texting while driving...how many deaths?

Drunk driving.....what is today's tally?

Police look for criminals, the job they chose. Criminals sometimes get away, sometime not. Sometimes resist arrest, sometimes not. Sometimes white, sometimes not. Sometimes fight back against police and loose more times than not.

Police are not against blacks, plolice are not brutal, black police shoot blacks, and respectable citizens have nothing to worry about. Police are people and we all know we are not perfect, we make mistakes. A police mistake may mean a life. Quite a burden on their shoulders.

Police are not against blacks, plolice are not brutal,

Are they an army of clones then?

I think its a huge mistake to paint each and every cop with the same brush, whether its the good brush or the bad brush. Cops are individuals. They all think a bit differently. Some deserve our appreciation And some clearly deserve to be indicted.
