Just a sad pathetic human being who is nothing more than a coward who is exploiting tragedies for his own gain. Anyone who blames anything else (like the system or other tragedies) is wrong and I have not much respect for them.

I'll tread lightly here, but I've seen several people already blaming a "corrupt" and "racist" judicial system or a systemic racial divide between police and the community that drove this man to commit these heinous crimes. Which is essentially the same moronic bulls*** as someone using the "she was wearing a short skirt in a bad neighborhood, what did she think was going to happen?" argument when trying to excuse away rape.

And I can already bet there are people doing the opposite using this as "proof" that the police are "justified" to killed black people without consequence. This man was just an asshole who was probably just using this as an excuse to shoot things if him bragging about shooting his girlfriend is any indicator. |

This man also shot his ex-girlfriend in Baltimore.
And as a New Yorker and black dude, it spooks me the f*** out to hear the head of the police union declare war. It's gonna be rough out here
Edited to add: The girlfriend hasn't died according to the police chief and media reports

People on my facebook are blaming the Mayor wanting him to step down based on remarks he has made. It really is an unsettling atmosphere in the city

The whole thing is going to end with New York City in flames. People framing this in a certain way are only throwing more gasoline on this fire. Senseless tragedy is senseless, regardless of against whom it happens and no one should be happy either way.

Some tidbits:
He posted what he was going to do on Instagram. His mom called police about it, but by the time she found out it was too late.
Many people online are cheering his actions.
When the mayor entered NYPD HQ for a press conference, police officers turned their backs to him.
None of this is going to end well.

It's very unsettling to me that a lot of people, especially those not directly involved, seem to be so frighteningly eager to see NYC regress back into the wretched hive it was in the 1970s and 1980s.
I'll just say that the mayor has certainly been making an impression in his first year in office...

When the mayor entered NYPD HQ for a press conference, police officers turned their backs to him. None of this is going to end well. If they did not like what he said then they should work with him to weed out the cops that abuse their authority. Their adherence to supporting the thin blue line only serves to make the public distrust them. Granted, none of that even remotely comes close to justify even threatening cops, let alone what this shithead did. In all honesty, at this point the Justice Department needs to get involved ASAP. Using the feds to clean out the bad actors in the police and forcing a closer adherence to the standard procedures will make progress on the cops end. Adopting mandatory body camera usage will help as well. There is another issue, of course. This is devolving into an unsafe situation for the cops. They will need to spend some serious money to both replace the bad acting cops and body cameras, but they should INCREASE their staff size to better support themselves. |
