On a corner in the Bronx strained by steady rancor over unsolved crimes, and distrust of the police, Officer Miosotis Familia was a balm.
She had earned a reputation as “a good policewoman” in the short time she was assigned to an R.V.-style police command post at East 183rd Street and Morris Avenue, two miles north of Yankee Stadium, a longtime resident, Roma Martinez, said. She waved hello; she spoke Spanish.
But long before she arrived, a hostility toward law enforcement personnel was building in Alexander Bonds, who had been in and out of prisons and jails for 15 years and was slipping into severe mental illness. Last year he warned in a Facebook video that he would not back down if he encountered police officers on the streets: “I got broken ribs for a reason, son. We gonna shake.”
His girlfriend called 911 on Tuesday night and told the police that Mr. Bonds “was acting in a manic, depressed state — paranoid,” a law enforcement official said. When officers arrived, he had gone.
About three hours later, with Fourth of July fireworks still going off, Mr. Bonds strode up to Officer Familia’s command post and fired a .38-caliber revolver through a window, killing her with a bullet to the head. She was the first female New York Police Department officer killed in the line of duty since the Sept. 11 attacks, and only the third female officer killed in a combat-type encounter in the department’s history.

Assassinated.
Someone must have put a gif on reddit to inspire such violence.
It’s not really funny, it’s disgusting, the double standards, intellectual dishonesty, hypocrisy.
Her lord said unto her, Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Come into the mansion I have prepared for you.
***and was slipping into severe mental illness.***
Typical NYT article. It wasn’t HIS fault, it was mental illness. He dindu nuffin!
This beautiful girl killed by a nutbag,,,,,,,,,,,
His excuse...”I just hate police.”
Yep, poleece the reason he did all those armed robberies...
Neglected mental illness — a Democrat Thug Party thing.
Prayers for Miosotis Familia and her family.
Borough report
Well, it was certainly the perps fault. But neglected mental illness is also a problem.
The Democrat Thug Party would rather spend $ on choking responsible citizens than give attention to those in desperate need.
Condolences to Miosotis Familia’s family and friends. RIP officer. Thank you.

The lefts effort to continue to destroy the police
DeBlasio’s legacy. Dead cops. A city run by reds, and an educational system in deep trouble.
It’s a shame. Situational awareness. She dropped her guard for just the few seconds it took this killer to get close enough. Lesson? When in public you can’t afford to drop your awareness of your surroundings for even a few seconds. Especially when you are wearing a uniform that makes you a target.
beautiful woman.
been watching BlueBloods.
they fight the war no one sees every day
As a FReeper posted on another thread about this, remember the chant? “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want them? NOW!”
This waste of life was simply doing the bidding of the left’s rent-a-mob.
This all started when they (the media) let Obama get away with abusing the Bully Pulpit; media hyperbole; cold blooded murder, of “Obama’s son” during the Zimmerman trial which resulted in black gang members attacking and killing hapless non blacks (not just whites) found wandering in the “hood”.
I just heard an utter fecking moron called Joe Bartlett on WOR 710 in NY say: WHERE DOES THIS HATE COME FROM!? Hey, Joe “What do we want, dead cops. When do we want them, now” Ring any bells, Joe? Have some ‘pigs in a blanket’ while you think about it...
