RIP

Prayers up for the Detectives family and the second officer injured.

RIP! No Gov come-O will need to further infringe on millions of law abiding firearm owners. But 52 week late term abortions are okee-dokee.

May God grant comfort to his family. I pray the other officer is ok.

This is why we have LEO’s and why they should be honored, unlike the recent disaster in Houston or the worse one in Waco a couple years ago.

RIP and prayers up, indeed.

This is awful.

I thought guns were illegal and prohibited, in NY.

I was reading a police Twitter account. One person posted that it was an illegal with an existing warrant on them who shot and killed the policeman. I noticed, after searching many news outlet websites, that the race/nationality of the perp was never mentioned. That would be the NYC libtard way all right. They'd rather die than give Trump more fuel for the wall.

Cuomo The Lesser and Comrade Wilhelm have surely reached out to ensure that the shooter receives all available assistance in his time of great need.

Ping.

If the report which claims he was “illegal” is true now find out if he was a registered voter.

By definition, rats are accessories both before and after the fact, in all these murders, and not just murders by illegals. They should be charged as accessories, even accomplices. It’d be like me going out and hiring a known murderer to pick out a victim at random and telling him to “do your worst.” Could I get away with that? No.

Maybe I did not pay attention as much when Bush was POTUS, but it seems since Obama, shootings of police are very common. Sad news.

Prayers for the detective and the officer and their families.

Someone explain, what is there to rob in a T-Mobile store? AFAIK there isn’t a ton of cash in those places, and most of the devices won’t work without being activated - which won’t happen to stolen devices. Maybe you can switch out a SIM but wouldn’t they be able to trace the device over the network as being stolen anyway?

What a tragedy but I am confused as to the motive.

From the NY Post story (https://nypost.com/2019/02/13/how-the-tragic-friendly-fire-death-of-nypd-detective-brian-simonsen-unfolded/)

Outside, at the corner of Atlantic Avenue and 120th Street, cops alerted by two 911 callers were massing, among them 19-year NYPD veteran Simonsen, who was working on his day off to crack a robbery pattern ahead of a Thursday CompStat meeting, sources said.

It sounds like pressure to pad stats ahead of the CompStat meeting is sadly what got Detective Simonsen in the line of fire on his day off in the first place. Can anyone shed light on CompStat and if that's an accurate assessment?

Ultimately, of course, the perp is still the cause and the blame for this tragedy, and should croak or suffer horribly for the rest of his miserable life.
