## Transcript

Two New York City police officers were shot and killed as they sat in their squad car Saturday in an apparent ambush. When a police officer is murdered, it tears at the foundation of our society. It is an attack on all of us. It's an attack on everything we hold dear. According to police, the suspect opened fire into the officers' car as they patrolled a Brooklyn neighborhood. The shooter then fled into the subway where he apparently died of a self- inflicted gunshot wound. The suspect has been tentatively identified as Ismaaiyl Brinsley, a 28 year old Baltimore man, who is believed to be behind a now shuttered Instagram account, boasting about wanting to kill cops.

The shooting comes as the NPD is facing severe public backlash for the choking death of Eric Garner and plenty of people hae linked Saturday's shooting to the nationwide protest against police violence. The fact that, you know, all these protesters and all that, have killed cops and killing NYPD, you know, that has a effect on somebody at home. This could not have come at a worse time. You know there seemed to be some progress being made through the protests. No one that I spoke to, no one I marched with, no one I stood next to would have called for the loss of life of officers. Reverend Al Sharpton, a key protest organizer, released a statement on behalf of the Garner family saying we were outraged by the early reports of the police killed in Brooklyn today.

We have stressed at every rally and march that anyone engaged in any violence is an enemy to the pursuit of justice for Eric Garner and Michael Brown. The last shooting death of an NYPD officer came in 2011 when Peter Figoski was shot and killed responding to a break- in.
