'Can they breathe?' Execution-style killing of two NYPD officers celebrated; 'Salute the shooter'

It was just last night that a handful of supporters of the New York Police Department attempted to hold a #ThankYouNYPD rally. The group was easily outnumbered by protesters, who taunted them and likened the gathering to a Klan rally. Just days before that, police haters hijacked a #BlueLivesMatter hashtag, while others were caught on video at the #MillionsMarchNYC chanting, “What do we want? Dead cops!”

With news just coming in that two New York City police officers were reportedly ambushed in their patrol car and shot execution-style, it’s not surprising that the anti-cop contingent is coming out to proudly express their smug satisfaction if not outright joy with the slayings.

Guess NYPD can't breathe after all

Other protesters can care for these cops, but I've had enough. I feel nothing for them. My empathy quota has been reached. Sorry.

I couldn't care less about those cops though .. to be completely honest. I can't even pretend to.
