Disposition: |
The killings came at a time in history when racial unrest was exacerbated by political derision and devisiveness from no less, the newly elected Mayor of New York City Bill de Blasio. The Mayor fueled racial unrest and tensions by, in addition to his anti-police racially slanted political speeches, walking in a demonstration that shut down the Brooklyn Bridge and evolved into a riot, injuring two police officers. The demonstration was aimed at the NYPD, which many believed the Mayor had totally abandoned and thrown his own police department under the bus. Indeed, many thought the Mayor and racial instigator Al Sharpton directly contributed to this police 'execution' by creating and fueling a culture of anti-police sentiment.
These killings came two months after a black male axe-wielding maniac, Zale Thompson, attacked a group of NYPD officers. He wounded two but was shot dead by the other cops who were present. |
