The mob that marched through a New York City neighborhood chanting, What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now! had to wait a whole week before getting its hellish wish. Sadly, these disgusting murders were predictable. After months of demagoguery against the police, two New York City police officers, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, were killed as they sat in their patrol car Saturday afternoon. As New York Police Commissioner William Bratton said, they were quite simply assassinated, targeted for their uniform. The American people have heard non-stop rhetoric from the highest officials of our country suggesting that there is an epidemic of police violence all across America. This rhetoric has come from the president, the attorney general, the mayor of New York City and a bevy of other rabble rousers and race baiters like Al Sharpton. The media has done its part with the non-stop news cycle exploiting confrontations between police and criminals. Heres what we know about the murderer. Ismaaiyl Brinsley was a career criminal, who had been arrested at least 19 times. Youll be hard-pressed to find it in most media reports, but his middle name was Abdullah and he reportedly knew Arabic. We dont know for certain yet, but it is entirely possible that he was a prison convert to Islam. Brinsley was a member of the Black Guerilla Family, a notorious gang that literally took over the Baltimore city jail. It was reported two weeks ago that this gang was plotting to assassinate New York City police officers. Before he boarded a bus from Baltimore Saturday morning, Brinsley shot his ex-girlfriend. During the bus trip from Baltimore to New York, Brinsely made it clear what he was planning to do: He was going to kill cops in revenge for the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. In all due respect to the families of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, there is no moral or legal equivalence between their deaths and the assassinations of these two policemen. Brown and Garner were committing crimes when confronted by law enforcement. They disobeyed lawful police orders and struggled with the officers. There is no evidence of racism in either of these confrontations. Surely, even the most fanatical leftist would concede that when police officers wrestled Eric Garner to the ground, they did not intend to kill him. In fact, he did not die then, but later on the way to a hospital. No reasonable person could conclude that Officer Darren Wilson was planning to kill Michael Brown when Wilson told Brown and his friend to stop walking in the middle of the street and get onto the sidewalk. Brown was killed, according to the evidence, after he attempted to take Officer Wilsons gun. Officers Ramos and Liu were murdered in cold blood because their assailant woke up Saturday morning intending to put wings on pigs.
