What an excruciatingly sad day.

Two NYPD officers were gunned down this afternoon inside their marked patrol vehicle in what is being called an “execution style” murder. According to local reports on the ground, “the perp came out of the houses, walked up behind the car and lit them [the cops] up.”

The shooting took place in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn, NY.

The officers were pronounced dead at the hospital. The suspect then fled into a subway station where he is believed to have committed suicide.

While it’s still too early to ascribe motive to today’s horrific attack, some leads on social media indicate that the perp may have been exacting revenge for Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

Conservative blogger SooperMexican pulled an Instagram photo from around the time of the attack that reportedly was posted by the shooter himself.

The Instagram photo appears to match the same camo pants being worn by the suspect as he was removed from the subway station by paramedics. The message admits to firearm use as well.

The Instagram user, “Don’tRunUp,” also posted a message that threatened to put “wings on pigs” and added “Let’s take two of theirs #ShootThePolice.” The user ended that thread with the hashtag “#RIPErivGarner” and “#RIPMichaelBrown,” before signing off with this warning: “This may be my final post. I’m putting pigs in a blanket.”

It must be stressed that the police have not identified the suspect at this point, so motives are only speculative thus far. (Update: See Below: Suspect identified and it appears that this is his Instagram account.)

We’ll have a lot more to add if it is confirmed that today’s ambush was linked to the Ferguson and Eric Garner.

For now, our prayers are with the families who lost love ones today in the line of duty.

Police offers around the country have been maligned repeatedly by the likes Al Sharpton and NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio as of late. But the reality is that cops put on the uniform every day knowing full well it may be their last time ever wearing it.

They risk their lives in order to keep ours safe.

And for that we thank them.

RIP.

Update: The evidence is pointing toward that today’s ambush was in direct retaliation for the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. The shooter has been identified as Ismaaiyl Brinsley, a gang member from Baltimore. The Instagram posts above, both bragging of committing a deadly shooting and promising to kill two cops, did originate from his account.

These new developments are a game changer: There is no doubt that NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, and the media have blood on their hands for intentionally spreading falsehoods about rampant police brutality and stoking the flames of racial unrest in America.

As we have reported, Bill de Blasio smeared the police department as institutionally racist in condemning the grand jury decision not to indict an NYPD cop for the death of Eric Garner. De Blasio should be nowhere near these two officers’ funerals, and if the NYPD union has any say on it, he won’t.

In Al Sharpton’s case, today he picks up right where he left off with Freddy’s Fashion Mart, otherwise known as the Harlem Massacre. He’s a longtime preacher of hate and a proven liar (Tawana Brawley, Duke Lacrosse) who is treated as though he’s a real civil rights leader rather than the incendiary con artist that he really is.

Eric Holder, the most divisive attorney general ever, has not stop indicting America as a racist country since he was sworn into office. He started out, recall, reprimanding us a “nation of cowards” because we refused, he said, to address underlying racial prejudice in America. Flash forward to the present, and it was Eric Holder who said he personally understood the sense of “mistrust” and “mutual suspicion” between cops and the black community. He later irresponsibly compared Michael Brown to Emmett Till, a teen who was brutally murdered in 1955 by actual racists for flirting with a white girl.

And the media. For months now they have carried the erroneous narrative that Michael Brown was shot in the back while saying, “hands up, don’t shoot” even though there was not any evidence to support such claims. To the contrary, forensic evidence portraying the exact opposite (that Michael Brown as a thug who charged at Darren Wilson) was muted and marginalized. The media not only give airtime to serial fabricators like Al Sharpton to spread racial division, but, with Sharpton in particular, he’s their colleague, rewarded with a television show of his own.

There is no evidence whatsoever that the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner had anything to do with race. Zilch. Nada. Moreover, it is an indisputable fact that both men would be alive today if they did not resist arrest from law enforcement personnel. And yet the media have reported and framed each segment on these two incidents as examples of ongoing police brutality and systemic racism against blacks.

Well words have consequences, especially when those words are amplified by the power of “mainstream” journalists.

Update: The Daily News is reporting that Ismaaiyl Brinsley is believed to have ties with the Black Guerrilla Family, a prison gang, which allegedly declared open season on NYPD cops after the Eric Garner grand jury decision.

Update: The fallen officers have been identified as Wenjian Liu, who was on the force seven years, and Rafael Ramos, who has been with the NYPD since 2012.

RIP.

Update: Police Commissioner William Bratton described the ambush as going down in the following manner:

“He [gunman] took a shooting stance on the passenger side and fired his weapon several times through the front passenger window, striking both officers in the head,” Mr. Bratton said.

“Officer Ramos and Officer Liu never had the opportunity to draw their weapons. They may never have had the chance to see their murderer.”

Update: It was one week ago today that loathsome police-hating protestors at Al Sharpton’s march were chanting: “What do we want? Dead cops!”
