Cop Shooter Bragged To Brooklyn Bystanders Just Before Fatally Shooting Nypd Officers

Just prior to killing the cops as they sat in their cruiser outside the Tompkins Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Ismaaiyl Brinsley approached two men to boast. He inquired what gang the men were affiliated with, and asked them to follow him on Instagram, NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said at a Sunday press conference. ‘He then said, “Watch what I’m going to do,”’ Boyce said.

Seconds before a cop-hating maniac ambushed and gunned down two NYPD officers in cold blood, he boasted, “Watch what I’m going to do!”

Ismaaiyl Brinsley’s twisted advertisment of his execution-style assassinations of Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu was revealed Sunday as detectives probed the motive for Saturday’s shocking slayings in Brooklyn.

Just prior to killing Ramos, 40, and Liu, 32, as they sat in their cruiser outside the Tompkins Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brinsley approached two men to boast about the pending doom.

He inquired what gang the men were affiliated with, and asked them to follow him on Instagram, NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said at a Sunday press conference.

“He then said, ‘Watch what I’m going to do,’” Boyce said.
