A 35-year-old man who faces two attempted murder charges after allegedly shooting a New York City police officer in the face spent eight years in prison for the same offence, it has been revealed.
Demetrius Blackwell was reportedly approached by Officer Brian Moore and his partner in an unmarked police car on Saturday night after he was seen adjusting his waistband suspiciously.

A policeman is shot and there is little media coverage.
Chap with a vendetta
I heard Demetrius and his lawyer denied the charges. Or to say another way, Demetrius didn’t do nuffin.......
Next his momma will come out and say Demetrius is A good boy and he is turning is life around.
I believe the officer has died. There is a war on cops......and the Admin is stoking the fires of discontent.
The end justify the means.
The family of Brian Moore removed him from life support this morning, he passed away..meanwhile our justice system allowed this POS who shot him out of jail to murder a hero cop..bet the left is somewhere smiling
the devil grins
There’s an adage in the Bible that suggests that if you have contemplated acting out a sin, you’re already guilty of that sin.
Lusting for a woman other than your wife in your heart is an example. (Hear that Carter?)
So when a guy attempts murder, it seems to me you should penalize the guy for murder.
If he attempted it, and by some stroke of fate it didn’t occur that way, he still went though the whole process and made a conscious decision to commit murder.
If you murder someone, you should remain in prison for life. A person who is found guilty of attempted murder, should remain in murder for life.
This officer should still be alive. We in effect give attempted murderers a second try. We should stop doing that.
Our president said it was ok.
Because Baltimore.
And Ferguson.
And white Hispanics.
When your fury causes you to mix and match cherry picked scripture, you’ve lost the battle and handed it over to the devil.
The devil gets advantage over those who do not know the Lord, and often it IS by means of their own sin (even if it is not the sin of which they are formally accused, which might even be a lie, just to amp up the confusion factor).
...and a rap star...
>> it seems to me you should penalize the guy for murder.
I’m fairly certain the charges will be upgraded to murder one.
This just in: Officer Brian Moore has died from his injuries.

Fury? LMAO
Since when is reasoned logic dependent on fury? Are you judging me by your personal standards?
This guy spent eight years in prison for attempted murder. The courts let the guy out, and he killed a police officer.
He had already proven himself willing to commit murder. What part of that did the court miss? He already tried to commit murder.
1. He got angry
2. He devised a plan
3. He followed through with that plan
4. He wasn’t successful in killing the person even though he tried
So what is the difference between this and a plan that succeeded as far as guilt goes?
He should serve the penalty on the intent, and I’m sorry you can’t grasp the Bible’s clear message on this.
A media culture that wrings its hands and obsesses over seat belts in police vans a lot more than it concerns itself with thugs killing cops is fatally sick.
My comment was based on his attempted murder conviction which resulted in him spending eight years behind bars. He should have remained in prison on that charge.
We bend over backwards to give criminals some benefit of the doubt. Look what that cost this officer.
If you make an attempt to commit murder, you did.
If I walk up to a woman and shoot her in the face and somehow she lives, should I be able to claim, “Well, after all, I didn’t really kill her?”
Heck no. I tried. Lock me up and throw away the key.
>> My comment was based on his attempted murder conviction which resulted in him spending eight years behind bars
Oh, the FIRST one.
Sorry, I misunderstood.
I agree completely.
If you murder someone, you should be put to death. The prisons are overcrowded with people who we have no business keeping around. These liberal candy asses don’t want so many incarcerated......I agree.
Thanks Nervous Tick. I’m glad we could agree. I’m with you on that.
