Happened in the Bronx and it appears they are expected to live. Two suspects on the run and police are offering $10,000 on leads.

Done with this shit.

Keep this shit up, And there is going to be a civil war. I'm sure a lot of people would love martial law. (not)

It's getting so much worse for law enforcement daily, And i'm going in soon, I Don't want it to be like this when i do... I Hope the two survive.

^^^

I completely agree.

Why does people hate the police? They may be a few bad eggs, but the police was created to support the laws - And if you kill cops, the laws are not going to get better.

With all the shootings of black suspects, the cops did it in self defense - A tactic that is completely legal. They felt like they had to do it, most of the LEO's has a wife and family - Should they too suffer from a mistake the Officer did? No.

2014 was a complete shitwreck of a year, 2015 already looks like one.

 

Hope they survive.

 

The NYPD Shouldn't loose 4 officer in less then a month. 

I wish both New York's Finest and their family's all luck they can have. 

Sigh, The world would be a much better place without idiots like these. Cops put their lives on the line and this is the thanks they get? I'm ashamed  to be a human.

Completely sad people have to shoot cops to draw attention and this is the type of stuff the pisses me off. I don't like this, neither does anyone in this thread discussing it and sharing their opinions. People in the world right now don't see that the United States is all messed up with their current law enforcement situation. People hate cops and disrespect them because they enforce the law, doesn't mean the person or cop hates you, it means he's trying to do his job. Simple as that.

This is getting ridiculous. It actually already was ridiculous. Shooting cops for any reason is just...unspeakable. Hope the cops survive and they catch whoever was involved and whoever is harboring these fugitives. I guess the two cars mandate was lifted?

My best wishes go out to the officers who were injured, if I could come and help the manhunt then believe me I would.

 

These crimes are committed by cowardly individuals, it is important not so succumb to their vie for attention by doing these things.

Luckily they are expected to survive.

 

Done hearing about officers getting killed. 

Thank god they are going to live, we had a funeral yesterday, we dont need anymore! The Mayor needs to get his shit right! Because this stuff needs to STOP!!!!

It says one officer is in critical condition so let's hope for the best for a speedy recovery. 

Man, that's depressing.

People who say 'f*ck the police' and like that ignorant Copblock facebook page need to seriously rethink their lives.

Small correction with what I've bolded. The Police don't support the law, they enforce the law. This is where the hate comes into play.

Those who are doing nothing wrong, generally dont have ANY issues with police officers. Its when others start to rile up other people for their cause that anything is directed at the police. If there was no big uproar in Ferguson does anyone really think it would have happened in all these other states and cities too? 

 

Those who continue to follow the law and do good are generally not going to be messed with, and typically support the police. Typically when I see people talking bad about the police and stuff, they either A) Joined a following or B) Love breaking the law and have problems with authority in the first place, whether it be a teacher, a parent or any other authoritative figure. 

 

*Sigh* .... 

Both suspects are in custody.  Excellent job to all agencies involved in the apprehension, and here's hoping that the officers make quick and full recoveries.

 

2 suspects are in custody in regard to the shooting of 2 NYPD officers in the Bronx yesterday.

Those cops are heroes and I wish them as fast and successful of a recovery as possible.

 

Quite a contrast to the other pathetic NYPD cops who are issuing a slowdown.

One would be hard pressed to call such actions a "slowdown".  Jobs are still being answered evidenced by these officers rushing to an armed robbery call and ending up injured even though they could've gone off duty, among the vast majority of other officers doing their jobs.  (Do note that benefits for recently hired officers that were injured on the job to the point where they cannot return to work were significantly cut.)  The unions have called for officers to conduct their jobs exactly by-the-book and with safety in mind; two requests that make perfect sense especially in light of current events.  Arrests, summonses, and tickets are down, yes, but is that not an expected side effect of lower crime rates for the past twenty years?  Is this not what the city government wanted when they made it clear that going after low level broken windows crimes was no longer a high priority?  Here's a quote from an essay written by the mayor's wife, found in its entirety here.

 

Moreover, under the leadership of my husband, Mayor Bill de Blasio, the NYPD is working toward decreasing the number of arrests for offenses that needlessly create the potential for physical confrontations between police and civilians.

 

Do not overlook that punishments stemming from not meeting ticket/arrest/summons quotas are illegal in accordance with  NY Labor Law 215-A [relevant reading here as well] and that quotas are illegal in NY State according to S295-6A, ratified in 2009.

Much of the rift between the NYPD and Communities can be traced directly back to former commissioner Ray Kelly's micromanagement and ramping up of policing for the sake of getting numbers to an insane level.  He took stop, question, frisk and basically made it into a performance evaluator/quota - what was once a useful investigative tool became nothing more than a blanket of random stops that amounted in little more than a number.  Ten years of policies like that are why nearly everything is stressed today, and the current mayor isn't doing much better IMO (though I will give credit to the current commissioner's attempts to patch things up).

Maybe you didn't hear about the specific slowdown that has occurred recently.

Cops aren't doing their jobs in NYC right now. The officers that responded to this armed robbery call ARE doing their jobs. That's the contrast right there. And come on, its not a coincidence. They're making a statement.

For the record, I live in NYC and I am a reader of the news.  I am fully aware of what is occurring right now; the city is missing out on cash because summons/ticket revenues are down, arrests for throw-away offenses are not being made because they shouldn't have been made in the first place (until the aforementioned Kelly administration practically took away discretion from officers and made them pull numbers day in and day out), and officers are allegedly responding to calls with additional backup in order to hopefully prevent the tragedy that happened to officers Ramos and Liu from happening again, showcasing that increased wait times amount from a need for additional officers on top of the ones out there already.  The city had a comparable patrol force during the 1975 layoffs compared to today, and perhaps that may also be a side effect of a decreased crime rate.  Perhaps officers are making a statement, but perhaps it is the flawed implementation of policies and systems in the past to chase short-term goals that was not looking at the long term that caused the majority of issues today.
