Two New York police officer has been shot dead by a black American citizen as revenge for the shooting and killing of unarmed African American Eric Garner and teenager, Mike Brown.
The NYPD cop, Wenjian Lu and Rafael Ramos were executed on Saturday, December 20th while sitting in their police car on a Brooklyn street corner. According to investigators, the double killing is a revenge for the killing of Eric Garner and Michael Brown by police officers. The investigators are basing their theory on what was posted on Instagram by the killer, hours before taking the lives of the officers.
“No warning, no provocation — they were quite simply assassinated, targeted for their uniform,” Police Commissioner William Bratton said.
The two officers were shot dead by 28-year-old Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley with addresses in Maryland, Georgia and Brooklyn. The officers were working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill in Bedford-Stuyvesant when they were executed. They were shot point-blank by the lone gunman around 3 p.m.
“They were sitting in a marked NYPD car, in full uniform,” Bratton said of Liu and Ramos.
