We were shopping in Crown Heights Saturday afternoon when we heard about the two policemen shot in their patrol car at Myrtle and Tompkins. A Facebook friend was sitting in a car behind them when it happened, her toddler asleep in the back seat. It seems the police killing that took place in Bed Stuy could have a lasting effect on the city. How do you feel about what happened?

  1. I just created an account to make a similar point as some others: The headline is lazy and inaccurate. It’s also irresponsible in that it serves to bolster the self-serving narrative of the police union president.

  2. Guiliani, stop & frisk and Patrick Lynch have all contributed to a generation of youth that cannot trust the Police and Mothers of such youths live in terror every day.
    Guiliani is showing signs of senior filter issues and should stay out of any meaningful conversation.
    Patrick Lynch should admit that there are some bad apples and stop sheltering them and start working towards protecting the vast majority of good cops, the bad apples are the ticking time bomb in the Police departments around the country..
    But this has nothing to do with NYC Police tactics; this is a mental health and access to guns issue; a major American cultural issue that has nothing to do with race relations. On access to mental health there is no race issue; it is difficult for all Americans.
