Another hero cop is dead because of senseless violence plaguing our streets. A 36-year-old NYPD officer lost his life in a shooting that killed four innocent people. This brave officer was just doing his job, protecting the people of New York City.
The shooter left behind a suicide note claiming he suffered from CTE, a brain condition linked to head injuries. While some will use this as an excuse, there is no justification for taking innocent lives. Mental health problems do not give anyone the right to commit murder.
Our police officers face danger every single day while liberal politicians tie their hands. They risk everything to keep us safe while getting attacked by the very people they protect. This officer paid the ultimate price for our safety.
The families of all four victims are now destroyed forever. Their loved ones will never come home again because one person chose violence over getting help. No amount of excuses can bring back these innocent lives.
We need to stop making excuses for criminals and start supporting our law enforcement. Our cops deserve respect, proper funding, and the tools they need to fight crime. Instead, they get blamed for everything wrong in society.
This tragedy shows why we must get tough on crime again. Soft-on-crime policies have failed our communities and our heroes in blue. We cannot keep letting violent criminals roam our streets freely.
The officer who died was somebody’s child, maybe somebody’s parent or spouse. He wore the badge to serve and protect, not to become a victim of random violence. His sacrifice should never be forgotten.
America needs to wake up and realize that our police officers are the thin blue line between order and chaos. When we lose good cops like this, we all lose. It is time to stand with law enforcement and against the criminals who threaten our way of life.
