New York State Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis from Brooklyn issued the following statement after the horrific murders:
“I am horrified that two of our police officers were fatally shot today in Brooklyn. My heart breaks for their families, their NYPD family, and our entire city, which appears to have descended dangerously close to turmoil.
It is well past the time for our mayor and citywide leaders to call for a return to order in our streets, and take a hard stance that that lawlessness and aggression towards police officers will not be tolerated. Extreme anti-police sentiment and public unruliness have been permitted to fester for far too long,” said Assemblywoman Malliotakis (R,C,I-Brooklyn/Staten Island).
More… It’s been more than four hours since the police officers were executed and still nothing on Mayor De Blasio’s Twitter page.
The officers were identified.
