On February 26, 2013, two Santa Cruz Police Department detectives were killed while attempting an arrest. These are some of the killings included in the FBI’s recently released Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) 2013 report. According to the LEOKA report, these officers were among the 76 men and women killed in the line of duty during 2013—27 died as a result of felonious acts, and 49 died in accidents.

Other types of dangerous weapons were used in 13.9 percent of assaults. Expanded assault details have been included in the 2013 publication. Data for assaults during which officers were injured with firearms or knives/other cutting instruments are located in new tables, figures, and selected narratives. The LEOKA publication, released by the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, contains data on duly-sworn city, university/college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement officers who, at the time of the incidents, met the following criteria: They were working in an official capacity, whether on or off duty; They had full arrest powers; They ordinarily wore/carried a badge and a firearm; and They were paid from government funds set aside specifically for sworn law enforcement representatives. The information in the report comes from various sources—the law enforcement agencies participating in the UCR Program, FBI field offices, and several non-profit organizations, such as the Concerns of Police Survivors and the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. The goal of the FBI’s LEOKA program is to provide data and training that help keep law enforcement officers safe as they serve and protect our nation’s communities.

ACTIVIST PROTEST, POLITICIANS CAMPAIGN, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS GOVERN

 

 

It amazes me to see little old ladies and nerdy old guys who obviously have the good fortune to never have had to defend themselves from a bad guy, drinking the Kool Aid; naively chanting that “the whole damn system can go to hell” and marching next to the guys chanting “Dead Cops Now”.  These are the very people who need police the most. The demonstrations had already made their point. To continue “demonstrating” after the death of officers Ramos and Liu was insensitive and counterproductive.

If you want to change the status quo and maintain credibility, it must be done with seriousness and discipline. When you amp people up into an angry violent mob you lose moral authority, you lose your message, you lose your voice.

The issue had already escalated from demonstrations, to violent riotous attacks on police, to murder. Anybody that says that there was no connection between these events is being ingenuous. The man who assassinated officers Ramos and Liu wanted to do something brazen, he needed a cause and was inspired by the melee he saw in New York City, he didn’t decide to go to Ferguson. The media is also responsible for helping to stir people up with their sensational coverage. 

The “leaders” that invoked and provoked these events are also guilty of playing with fire. They needed to get as much mileage out of the unrest as possible because it increases THEIR power. They wanted that dangerous edge to be present in order for their “cause” to be promoted and amplified. Unfortunately, their ego was greater than their vision.

There is a difference between activism, politics and government. You can be an activist and protest against the government. You can be a politician and advocate reform of the system. Once elected, you are the government. You can no longer merely criticize and point your finger; now you must take responsibility and govern.

I have laid down my life in service to all of you

I have laid down my life in service to all of you.
I have been a part of the fabric that has held the line between your
safety and your victimization.

I have given my life so that others may live in peace. I have lived my life as a dedicated member of the greatest profession.

There is no greater honor.

 As I now become a part of the rich history of law enforcement, please remember me always for I have left behind those who loved and depended upon me. 
 My partners and my agency, please remember my family, their loss, and don’t let time soften your compassion for them.
 
You guard the gate now and I will continue my watch from above.


 OFFICERS WENJIAN LIU AND RAFAEL RAMOS MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND MAY YOUR FAMILY FIND COMFORT IN THE GOOD YOU HAVE DONE HERE ON EARTH.

FIN DE TURNO: FUNCIONARIOS WENJIN Liu y RAFAEL RAMOS

 

Las protestas y las marchas son una forma noble y digna para llamar la atención del gobierno y de la sociedad acerca de nuestras quejas. Cuando acudimos motines y violencia perdemos el mensaje y creamos un escenario insta a las personas criminalmente inclinadas racionalizar  el saqueo y el caos detrás de una cortina de humo de indignidad.

Dos agentes de la policía de Nueva York le dispararon y mataron al estilo asesinato sábado por la tarde mientras estaban sentados en su coche patrulla en Brooklyn, dijo el comisionado de policía William Bratton. El pistolero se acercó al lado del pasajero del coche patrulla y abrió fuego varias veces, hiriendo fatalmente oficiales Wenjian Liu, 32 y Rafael Ramos, 40.

Las familias Garner y Brown no condonarían el asesinato de estos oficiales en nombre de sus esposos, padres e hijos fallecidos. La gente en la calle están repudiando hacia el acto, sí, incluso los afroamericanos tampoco apoyan estos actos. Uno señora del vecindario se le oyó decir: "¿Dónde está su humanidad? Sé que es una guerra y reconozco a las familia de Eric Garner y a todos los que perdieron a alguien, pero usted no está en su casa, ni en su jardín. Se trata de dos (oficiales ). No sé ni si (eran) buenos o malos. No justifico esto, y no estoy con esto."

Decir que todos los policías son malos es exactamente el mismo problema que tenemos las minorías con nuestra reputación. Es como decir que todos los latinos son traficantes de drogas y los afroamericanos son matones brutales. No es correcto.

Hay tantos oficiales por ahí que aman su trabajo y la gente que protegen.

¿Cuántos policías corrieron a sus muertes en las torres gemelas en 9/11?   Eran héroes en aquel entonces. La gente llevaban pancartas diciendo que “Dios los bendiga” en los días después del ataque, cuando los policías se dirigían hacia el la Zona Cero día tras día para buscar los restos de las víctimas y sus camaradas caídos. Muchos han muerto posteriormente por la exposición a los materiales tóxicos que fueron expuestos.

Usa tu motor de búsqueda y veras cómo cada día funcionarios salvan vidas y rara vez salen en los titulares.  ¿Cuántos mueren cada día por responder a un llamdo de ayuda.

Estos hombres que toman el 3er turno a las 11:00 pm y conducen por la oscuridad de la noche por nosotros hasta el amanecer, mientras tu duermes. La próxima tripulación se levantarse a las 4: 30-5:00 am para presentarse a trabajar a las 7:00 con su uniforme. No ganan un montón de dinero, solo querían ser policías.

Estoy profundamente entristecido por el asesinato a sangre fría, sin sentido de estos hermanos. La persona enferma que cometió este acto no es un héroe, ni voy a repetir su nombre, él no debe recibir reconocimiento por este acto vergonzoso y repugnante. Dejamos que lo entierren como se arroja la basura en anonimato.

Mis condolencias a las familias de los oficiales Wenjin Liu y Rafael Ramos que encuentren paz y resignación.

Protests and marches are a noble and dignified way to bring attention to the government and society about our grievances. When we turn to rioting and violence we lose the message and we create a scenario where people who are criminally minded rationalize looting and mayhem behind a smoke screen of indignity.

Two New York City police officers were shot and killed ambush-style Saturday afternoon as they sat in their patrol car in Brooklyn, Police Commissioner William Bratton said. The gunman approached the passenger side of the patrol car and opened fire several times, fatally wounding officers Wenjian Liu, 32 and Rafael Ramos, 40.

The Garner and Brown families would not condone the murder of these officers in the name of their slain husbands, fathers and sons. People on the street are pushing back, yes even African Americans do not support these acts. One local woman was heard to say "Where is your humanity? I know it's a war going on and shoutout to Eric Garner's family and everybody else who lost somebody, but you're not at his house, on his lawn. This is two (officers). You don't even know if (they were) good or bad. I don't condone this, and I'm not with it."

To say that all cops are bad is exactly the same problem we minorities have with our reputations. It’s like saying all Latinos are drug dealers and all African Americans are brutal thugs. It is not correct.

There are so many Law Enforcement officers out there that love their job and love the people they protect.

How many cops ran to their deaths into the Twin Towers on 9/11?  They were heroes back then. People held up signs saying God Bless You in the days after the attack as they drove towards Ground Zero day after day to search for the remains of victims and their fallen comrades. Many of those have subsequently died from exposure to the toxic materials they were exposed to.

Use your search engines and look at how every day Law Enforcement save lives and rarely make the headlines.  How many die every day showing up when people need help.

These men will take that 3rd tour at 11:00pm and drive around the dark of night for us till the crack of dawn. The next crew will get up at 4:30-5:00am to get to work at 7:00 in full uniform.  They don’t make a lot of money for it, they wanted to be cops.

I am deeply saddened by the coldblooded, senseless assassination of these brothers. The sick person that committed these acts is no hero, I will not repeat his name, and he should not receive recognition for this shameful disgusting act and remain anonymous.

My condolences to officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos’ families may they find peace and resignation

 

 

 

 

 

Badillo Widow: de Blasio’s Absence From Funeral a ‘Terrible Insult’

The widow of the late former Bronx Congressman Herman Badillo today slammed Mayor Bill de Blasio on the radio for failing to appear or to even offer condolences for the history-making official’s funeral on Sunday.

Speaking on the Geraldo Rivera radio program, Gail Badillo blasted Mr. de Blasio for his absence from the memorial, which former Mayors David Dinkins and Rudolph Giuliani attended, as did Congressmen Charles Rangel and Jose Serrano, along with a host of other New York City notables. Badillo was the first person born in Puerto Rico to be elected to the House of Representatives, and then later served as a deputy mayor in the Koch administration and in a number of roles under Mr. Giuliani, before unsuccessfully seeking the Republican nomination for mayor in 2001.

“What a terrible insult. What a terrible insult,” Ms. Badillo said, suggesting the absence was a slight to New York’s entire Latino population. “Here the mayor is supposed to represent all the people, and there are a few Hispanics in this city, maybe he should take notice.”

She noted that other high-profile politicians who were unable to attend phoned in their sympathies—but that Mr. de Blasio did not.

“Not even a phone call. Hillary Clinton called,” Ms. Badillo said.

Mr. de Blasio put out a statement upon Badillo’s death, and ordered flags at City Hall and other municipal buildings flown at half-mast. His office said the mayor would be reaching out to the Badillo family.

“The mayor regrets he was unable to attend the funeral services yesterday, and he will be contacting Mrs. Badillo to express the condolences of a New York City grateful for Herman Badillo’s extraordinary leadership and service,” spokesman Phil Walzak said.
