Slain Officers Were From 84th Precinct, Patrolled Brooklyn Heights

Police Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, who were shot to death yesterday while on duty, were assigned to our local 84th Precinct, according to this notice from Community Board 2. At the time they were shot, they were “operating within the confines of the 79th Precinct” at Myrtle and Tompkins avenues.

We at BHB join with CB2 in expressing our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Officers Liu and Ramos, and to their fellow officers.

Brooklyn Eagle: A memorial of flowers and stuffed animals piled up at the entrance to Downtown Brooklyn’s 84th Precinct on Gold Street on Sunday, as hushed passersby added a card, said a prayer or lit a candle.

Mourners cried. Firefighters from Engine Company 210 grimly carried in food and baked goods.

    May Officers Liu and Ramos rest in peace. Sympathies for their families and all the members of the 84th precinct.

    God bless these men. Through the madness
    of this time, thrust into the winds of history.

    The way to honor these good men is to
    do a genuine honest investigation into
    the movements and associations of the
    Gunman

    And MOST of all, is there any evidence of programming. ……..

    19 previous arrests; troubled and in need of help according to family; shot four people that day, himself & girlfriend included—only girlfriend survived.

    RIP officers Liu and Ramos, who didn’t deserve this.
