Two uniformed NYPD officers were shot dead Saturday afternoon as they sat in their marked police car on a Brooklyn street corner — in what investigators believe was a crazed gunman’s execution-style mission to avenge Eric Garner and Michael Brown.

“It’s an execution,” one law enforcement source said of the 3 p.m. shooting of the two officers, whose names were being withheld pending family notification of their deaths.

The tragic heroes were working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill when they were shot point-blank in their heads by the lone gunman, who approached them on foot from the sidewalk at the corner of Myrtle and Tompkins avenues in Bed-Stuy.

“I’m Putting Wings on Pigs Today,” a person believed to be the gunman wrote on Instagram in a message posted just three hours before the officers were shot through their front passenger window.

“They Take 1 Of Ours … Let’s Take 2 of Theirs,” the post continued, signing off with, “This May Be My Final Post.”

Officers Ramos and Loo?

She's the B-teamer who gets some face time the Saturday before Christmas. Greta might have been called into the office to handle this one but she's back in Wisconsin having brats and beer and opening packages with her family.

Cut her some slack, I mean, she's on FOX ... you know?

...the shooter evidently felt both Garner and Brown were related closely enough for him to take revenge.

Which once again can be laid at the feet of the so-called media.

Mayor about to speak

A huge demographic of white people are, in many ways, salivating the death of 2 cops to justify their racists beliefs

[txnativegop]

wow, those people are vile. they are all up in arms about a person that they never knew and now cheer the deaths of two people who did their best to keep them safe.

I thought guns were illegal in NYC? Hmmm, should I take mine next time?

No, but it's about as restrictive as Nazi Germany used to be for the German citizens (not the Jewish ones, obviously).

Has Bill De Blasio said anything yet?

Probably not, but his reaction may have ranged from indifference to saying "good."
