NYPD rookie shot in broad daylight in Jamaica

PIX 11 News

 An NYPD officer was shot in Jamaica, Queens after responding to a dispute on an MTA bus Wednesday, according to police.

A 22-year-old rookie officer was shot once in the hip at 90-23 161st Street during a struggle with a man around 3:20 p.m., according to NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig.

Prior to the shooting, two officers were flagged down by an MTA bus driver who told them a man was arguing with another passenger over a seat, authorities said.

When the officers approached the bus, the perpetrator exited through the front door. The officers tried to stop him, but the man allegedly pushed them and fled northbound on 161st Street, according to Essig.

 

The 22-year-old officer caught up with the suspect at 90-23 161st Street but was shot during a brief struggle with the man, authorities said. The second officer fired twice at the suspect. Police weren’t sure if the suspect was hit.

The injured officer was hospitalized in stable condition and is expected to survive, authorities said.

“He was where our communities tell us they want our officers to be, standing at a footpost. He was flagged down by a community member who needed help. He was taking police action, and he was shot,” said NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell.

The NYPD is searching for the suspect pictured who allegedly shot an officer in Jamaica, Queens on April 5, 2023.

I’m sure the new era soft on crime Republicans will have no issue with this. Going after this guy would be nothing more than a political witch hunt.

Even Jesus was wrongfully accused like this guy is. Corporate media and corrupt democrats and George Soros are teaming up to defame this ordinary commuter. He was exercising his freedoms by carrying around a gun.

Could the rookie cop have been shot with his own weapon?

@“ The Democrats might as well just install Trump as president now.”

You can thank the corrupt Rightwing branch of the Supreme Court with their Dobbs ruling for every Republican loss including 2024. Especially if the QAnons put the Orange headed criminal as their least boring candidate.
Bring it on.

""What the heck has happened to this city""

A: The stupid elected idiots (who appointed more idiots) who don't want to see young blacks behind bars no matter what horrible crimes they do or attempt.
New York the greatest time and place in Americas history to be or become a criminal!!

I personally had a car jack attempt by the junkyards on Tremont ave.
Didn't bother calling the cop, because they were more likely to give ME a ticket for doing a near wheelie blowing the red light.
One must remember since the communist takeover & demise of Willets Point and all the Long Island junkyards (who all cashed out due to the high price of steel) Tremont Bronx along the polluted train tracks the only local places for 15 inc tires, older classic car & truck parts.
Ill tell ya exactly why straight from the mouths of my 2 neighbor police offices here on City Island.

Back to ""What the heck has happened to this city""
Because the shit DAs, mayor and police boss wants more traffic stops & summonses on white people because blacks committing traffic stops & written VTL and nuisance offenses outnumber whites something like 10 to 1 and they "don't like" those statistics.
Yes, the cops are being told to "look the other way or find "other then black" to ticket or face investigation & reprimands for racial targeting.
Its insane !!!
The cops also said any judge who imposes bail (for other then a murder charge) on a black person, the judges career will be history in this state, Result, no bail or jail no matter what if your black.
Go into a store and take whatever you want if your black and poor, stay under $1500 which is no arrest, just a ticket for petite larceny.
The fruits & nuts are running the asylum like in California, I suppose Mayor Adams and Governor jackass will soon tell us it reparations & punishment for slavery.

Hell, like most whites in NYC nobody in my ancestry was from Spain, Dutch or British and had nothing to do with slavery.

You really are a clueless clown. Renters pay taxes. They also indirectly pay their thieving landlords taxes for them too.
Sad, but true.

Make up your mind, righting nuts and TrumpTurds. Do you want everyone to have guns without background checks or not?

What's happened to this city?


I have a theory that this is like the 2008 bank meltdown where banks were given near carte blanch to save themselves.
New York is running out of money, spent from giving free stuff to 1/2 the 3rd world over the priority of its own poor
Now the people that caused this problem are telling their constituents "we got your back too" just go out take whatever you want, you wont be prosecuted, don't worry about the police or consequences. F#@k the police!

Bring down gun violence by not having kids out of wedlock and not having babies with inmates. Get an education and stop acting like all the legislative solutions are going to magically work without changing your own behaviors.

The Socialist Liberal Democrats have played out their social experiment. It FAILED! Now trying to put the back the city to what it once one is next to impossible. Once they Defunded the Police and Demoralized all of the officers you will not be able to get police to work for them at any cost. Look at what happened to all of these cities. Trash, defecation, needles, homeless people and crime pervade the blue cities.

To all those people in NYC, you got what you voted for and now you must live and die with it.

"Once they Defunded the Police"

When did the Police get defunded? They are getting more funding than ever for doing absolutely nothing. What a bunch of lazy, pampered good-for-nothings. They got too used to everyone kissing their fat, lazy asses for years. Top to bottom should be cleared out and replaced with people who want to work, not just sit in a car all day staring at a phone.
