Gun Control crowd silent when minorities kill cops.
With about 12 cops shot in the last week or so, almost all from black/hispanic thugs with long histories of violent behavior, notice Carolyn McCarthy is nowhere to be found? Brady Campaign silent, Schumer silent, et al?
Notice Krugman, Klein, Herbert, Rich, Matthews, et al have been silent?
Notice how Obama has not said a damn word? How about a prayer service for all these cops shot dead by these criminals?
Or it is only newsworthy when we can try to blame talk radio for it?

How about the fact that we put up with savages in our midst who belong on a chain gang or deserve to be put down like wild dogs?
The savage in St. Petersburg was wanted for Murder.
The savage in Detroit had a long record.
The savage in Newark had a record.
etc etc.

most criminals have serious records by the time they are in thier early 20's and they will regularly commit crimes well into their 50's and 60's. people don't realize exactly how many times they go in and out of the system and how lengthy their records become after only a few years. it's not like society doesn't have the chance to deal with these people before an innocent person gets raped/murdered/kidnapped/robbed/beaten.

msnbc has been pretty darn quiet about the series of shootings, I will give you that.
I don't know that it's about race... they might say they're not trying to encourage copycats

::) ::)
Its because liberals cant really exploit minority crime to their advantage since their policies encourage, apologize for, condone, and foster crime.
If there is not a cheap shot to take at talk radio, gun ownership by middle class whites, etc, they are not interested.

So the 24/7 coverage of Loughner wasn't at risk of spawning copy cats? It's amazing how far you'll stretch these days.
These are ignored because it's not possible to pin them on a middle-aged, white Christian male who is a member of the Tea Party.

Read what I wrote:

They might say that. I don't buy it, of course. I think it's neither race nor politics, personally. I think it's about rating$. Americans have experienced two weeks of Tuscon gun coverage. I think whatever psychological cycle they use to analyze viewer ratings tell them that viewers aren't going to respond to gun violence stories right now.
That's just my two cents. Of course, I don't buy into race very much... i think the motive of media and politicians is $ more than anything else. Without the 2 weeks of tuscon shootings coverage, I think this series of shootings gets more coverage - period.

So you are saying that the public is generally conditioned to dissportionate amounts of violent crime by certain groups to where its not longer real news?
Lets say 4 tea party people shot 12 cops over the course of a week, you don't think that would be 24/7 news ?

Governor stalked/attempted Assassination & you never heard of it. Where was Media on this one?
The Fayetteville Citizen ^ | January 24, 2011
Missouri’s Democratic governor Jay Nixon way back last year on September 14, 2010 life was put into jeopardy by a knife welding, bullet resistant vest wearing stalker. Casey Brezik charged the crowd welding a 6 inch knife and thinking he was slashing the throat of the Governor did cut the throat of dean Al Dimmit Jr. Governor Nixon was speaking at Metropolitan Community College when he was attacked.
Brezik was wrestled to ground and disarmed. He was summarily arrested and charged with Attempted Murder.
Now raise your hands how many of you had heard about this? Anyone....Bueller.... Bueller.
With all the hackles raised of "Right Winged" Conservative hate rhetoric you would think this would have got the ball rolling right? I mean the hateful rhetoric has been going on for years right? Here a DEMOCRAT Governor was attacked and almost killed, surely a case could have been made the Sarah Palin caused this too.
But yet not one of the "Mainstream" media outlets had this story.
Why?
Well it is because it did not fit the template.
You see Casey Brezik was an anti-Christian, anti-capitalist leftist who participated in a number of leftwing protests. He was also a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic.
Jack Cashill, writing at the American Thinker, notes
"In his “About Me” box on Facebook, Brezik listed as his favorite quotation one from progressive poster boy, Che Guevara. The quote begins “Our every action is a battle cry against imperialism” and gets more belligerent from there. On his wall postings, Brezik ranted, “How are we the radical(s) (left) to confront the NEW RIGHT, if we avoid confrontation all together?” As good as his word, Brezik’s marched on Toronto in June 2010 to protest the G20 Summit, where he was arrested, charged, and deported. “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED,” he boasted."
Knowing what we now know about Arizona two things become very clear. First if Governor Jay Nixon had been injured, the Mainstream media and Liberals alike would have jumped on the story lamenting the tea party movement and right winged rhetoric. Second, even if the injuries where as they were, but Casey Brezil listed himself as a Talk Radio listener or Sarah Palin fan on his Facebook wall the media would have covered it exactly the way Arizona was covered. Since, however, Brezik was a Progressive radical it apparently wasn't news worthy enough.
Now tell me again how the Teaparty folks are the radical ones?

Two police officers, U.S. Marshal shot in St. Pete (FL)

T. PETERSBURG - Three law enforcement officers were shot this morning – a U.S. Marshal and two St. Petersburg police officers – in the 3700 block of 28th Avenue South, police said.
A suspected gunman is barricaded in a home at 3726 28th St. S., and police are trying to negotiate with his family members. He is still shooting at police, officers said.
One of the injured officers had been in the home as well, but an armored vehicle knocked down the door and the officer was evacuated. That officer has been taken to Bayfront Medical Center.

Cops Identify Detroit Police Headquarters Shooter
Published January 24, 2011 | Associated Press
DETROIT -- A relative of the gunman who was fatally shot after wounding four officers at a Detroit police station was scheduled to be sentenced Monday in a double-homicide case, the city's police chief said.
Chief Ralph Godbee identified the shooter as 38-year-old Lamar D. Moore of Detroit, but said he couldn't speculate about a motive in Sunday's shooting at the 6th precinct.
"There's nothing in this that makes sense at all," Godbee told reporters during a briefing on the case.
Godbee didn't release specifics of the homicide case involving Moore's relative. He said the relative had been scheduled for sentencing Monday.
The police station shooting happened around 4:20 p.m. Sunday. The gunman walked through the front door of the one-story building and began firing, according to police. The precinct commander, two sergeants and an officer suffered wounds that were not considered life-threatening.
Commander Brian Davis and one of the sergeants were in stable condition, Godbee said Monday. The others have been treated and released.
Godbee said he has reviewed video of the shooting and seen the officers' "acts of heroism."
"In a split second their life changed," Godbee said. "The perpetrator's intent was evil. But these men and women ... performed to the standard that they were trained to."
John Sellers said Moore is a close friend of his family, and that Moore often visited the Sellers' home on the city's west side.
Sellers said he was surprised Moore would walk into a police station and shoot officers.
"He always had a smile on his face," Sellers said. "I was telling a friend that (police) must have done something to send him over the edge. If you go into a police station, even with the gun raised, it's like committing suicide."
Rev. Jerome Warfield, chair of the Detroit Police Board of Commissioners, visited the precinct with other members of the board after leaving the hospital where the wounded officers are being treated. He says officers at the precinct "are still somewhat shocked that this happened."
The shooting left officers to ponder how to protect themselves from the crime they fight daily on the city's tough streets. Like other precincts in the city, the 6th has no metal detectors at the entrance and visitors are permitted to come in and talk face-to-face with police sitting behind a large, rounded desk.
Godbee said precinct security will be upgraded to include wand scanners.
The precinct, built in the mid-1980s, sits between a business district, a residential area and a row of manufacturing buildings.
Sellers said police visited his home Sunday night, asking him questions about Moore, who used the Sellers' Roselawn Street address to receive his mail.
Moore and Sellers' brother, Anthony, were close friends until Anthony Sellers' death from cancer two years ago.
"I guess my brother would work for him around (Moore's) house," said John Sellers, who last saw Moore during the summer.

Suspect is named in slaying of New Jersey police officer
January 15, 2011|By the CNN Wire Staff
A New Jersey officer was shot three times and died after an encounter with a pedestrian.New Jersey police are looking for 19-year-old Jahmell Crokam, the man they suspect of killing a police officer in what one prosecutor called an "execution-style" shooting.
Crokam has been charged with murder and the illegal possession of a firearm, Ocean County Prosecutor Marlene Lynch Ford said Saturday. She said Crokam also goes by the name "Sav," short for "Savage."
"Mr. Crokam is at large. The public is advised that he is obviously dangerous," said Ford.
Some $117,000 of reward money is available for information leading to the suspect's arrest, she said.
Crokam was described as a 19-year-old black male, thought to weigh around 220 pounds and stand 5 feet,7 inches tall. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie and black or dark blue jeans, said Ford.
The shooting occurred Friday afternoon in the New Jersey township of Lakewood.The police officer stopped a pedestrian and was having a conversation with the suspect right before the shooting occurred, Ford said on Friday.
"The individual stepped back suddenly, pulled out a handgun and shot the officer three times," Ford said. "The officer's weapon was still in his holster. That is how quickly it happened."
On Saturday, she added: "What was a routine stop, what was a routine conversation ... suddenly turned deadly. And I think that indicates the danger that this person presents to the public."
The officer, identified as Christopher Matlosz, was sitting in his patrol car when the shooting occurred, Ford said.
Police were still determining whether Matlosz knew the suspect and the reason the officer was questioning the man.
Witnesses have told police that the exchange between the officer and the gunman appeared calm before the shooting. Lakewood police and other authorities immediately launched a manhunt for the gunman, said Lakewood Police Chief Robert Lawson.
"He was one of our most popular officers. He was dedicated to his job," Lawson said of Matlosz. "He was the best of us."
Matlosz, 27, worked for the police department for some 4 1/2 years and was engaged to be married.
"Our goal is to identify the perpetrator of this heinous, execution-style murder and bring that person to justice," Ford said.

So you are saying that the public is generally conditioned to dissportionate amounts of violent crime by certain groups to where its not longer real news?
Lets say 4 tea party people shot 12 cops over the course of a week, you don't think that would be 24/7 news ?
it may be news. But in 2 worlds - one with the tuscon shooting, and one without it - it would get WAY more coverage without 16 straight days of AZ shooting.
I'm not talking about "certain groups". I'm talking about tastes/moods/viewer preferences in general.
The same way netowrks rotate shows, anchors, and everything else. Remember the "kidnap phase" that was all over the news for a while? The Beer Summit gate? it went to a non-race issue for a bit. Then NAACP/Sherrod?
Look, the media has "themes" every few weeks. IMO, this gun violence theme is over. Viewers are tired of it. You can only watch the same cop show over and over until you want a show on politics or dancing or whatever.
33, you don't think the networks emphasize and de-emphasize certain stories based on viewer preferences?

Gunman ID'd in Washington Walmart Shooting
Updated: Monday, 24 Jan 2011, 7:24 PM EST

http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpps/news/gunman-idd-in-washington-walmart-shooting-dpgonc-20110124-gc_11570587
(NewsCore) - A Utah man was identified Monday as the gunman in Sunday’s shooting incident at a Walmart in Port Orchard, Wash., that left two dead, including himself, and two sheriff’s deputies injured.
The Kitsap Sun reported that Anthony A. Martinez, of Salt Lake City, Utah, was identified as the gunman by the Washington State Patrol. An autopsy was scheduled for later Monday, the report said.
Martinez, 30, was said to be traveling with a 13-year-old girl who reportedly ran away from her Utah foster home last week.
She had a history of running away and had also fled a foster home last fall only to be discovered by police in Sacramento, Calif., with Martinez in November, prompting her family to seek a protection order against him.
A young woman who was killed in the Walmart shooting was believed to have known Martinez. But she has yet to be identified, according to the Sun.
Eyewitnesses said they saw the female running toward the gunman, prompting authorities to suggest she was connected to him in some way. She died from gunshot wounds on the way to Tacoma General Hospital, local news channel KOMO reported.
Two male deputies taken to the same hospital were listed in serious condition, but their injuries were not life-threatening. A third deputy, a female, shot and killed the gunman. She was not injured.
On Monday, a group of police officers was seen leaving the hospital, the Sun reported, and one of the injured officers was said to be among them. However, it was not immediately known if either of the injured deputies had been released.

so to be clear...
you DO NOT think the media goes thru 'themes' every few weeks?
you think they just play the news in no particular order?
Wait - you admitted YOU DONT EVEN WATCH THE NEWS dude :)
I watch a ton of it, as yall know. I think most people here would say that they do have weekly or bi-weekly themes, where certain types of news stories are all the vogue. Then, after 2 weeks, they move to something else.
You guys watch the news... what do you think? Do the news channels go thru phases? Kidnapping for a few weeks... race... healthcare... then something like autism... then finreg... then weather theme for a week... then violence of some kind.... north korea drama for a bit... then its the mexican border violence for a week.... woah, time for a week of dollar panic.... then back to politics for a bit, what did so-and-so tweet about obama?
Anyone else notice these little mini-phases?
-
Yes of course they do, but there are sins of ommission as well.

Blacks don't commit violent crimes. Upstanding black citizens are driven to commit vilent crimes because of of the "n word" and hurtful stereotypes perpatrated by right wing talk radio.
The men depicted in the mug shots above are heros. The cops probably stopped them for no reason while they were running down a deserted street with blood dripping from their clothing and asked them if they needed assistance. Pigs had it coming.
"No labels"

Vicious Attack On Wendy's Worker
Updated: Tuesday, 25 Jan 2011, 5:29 AM EST
Published : Monday, 24 Jan 2011, 10:36 PM EST
BY ANDREA DAY
MYFOXNY.COM - A fight broke out at a Wendy's in Queens Village, leaving one of the workers seriously injured. The disturbing scene from inside the Wendy's was captured on a phone. In the video, you can see the cashier get pummeled to the ground by teenage girls.
A Wendy's employee told Fox 5 that it started with one girl attacking the woman and a large group of them jumped in and punched her. The worker said it all began when the group started fighting and throwing food. She was behind the counter when her co-worker walked over to try and stop them, she said.
The woman who was attacked suffered a concussion and is currently unable to work.
Two of the teens have been identified by school officials as students at Martin van Buren High School, which is just down the block. School officials said they are working closely with the NYPD to investigate the incident.
The Wendy's franchise director, Louis Meyer, released a statement that read in part: "This vicious attack on our female employee was shocking and uncalled for. We are cooperating with the police in their investigation and our security camera data and anything else they request will be provided to them."

Not just that, many times the criminals and cops share a love/hate relationship...and that is all i'm saying on that

The government doesn't give a shit until one of the "ruling elite" get shot, then its on

Not just that, many times the criminals and cops share a love/hate relationship...and that is all i'm saying on that
i've seen this too.. sometimes the cops will show up and treat the offender like a child who acted up instead of a criminal piece of shit.
total inaction is always soon to follow.

I live in the Bronx. There is a small pizza place across from my building. Little pizzaria run by a Albanian guy, his wife, and two mexis.
Often times when it is cold out. A pack of these feral teens, about 15 of them will crowd the store and take up all the seats. 1 girl will buy one slice and can for $3.50 and all these teens will sit there forever.
The owner gets upset because its very bad for business and turns away paying customers. Plus, these pigs are loud, vulgar, and act like wild jackals.
I was there once when the owner tried to get these beasts to leave and I thought a riot was about to break out. They started calling him racist, screaming, banging the door, etc.
You posters who don’t live in areas where there is an inner city ghetto thug population have NO CLUE WHERE WE ARE HEADING.
We are 4 weeks away from civil war in this country at any time if the benes and welfare ever gets cut off to these people.
A cop friend of mine told me last night that the govt does not mind all the drugs in this country since it keeps so many of these wild animals sedated.
Sad but true.

MOFO Rush stealing my threads again!

The arguments have arlready been made over and over ...ad nauseum
the response from the right will be that criminals don't get guns legally (though we know some do and we know that there are ways to make it much harder for them to get guns illegally) and all the more restrictive guns laws would do it keep guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens who need them for self defense.
right.
isn't that the standard argument every time

Short of an outright ban and confiscation, please tell me the law that would have stopped the guy blasting the 4 cops in the police station with the shotgun.

that would just be racist and not politically correct to talk about banning guns when minorities commit crimes, then you would get al sharpton all pissed

FOX's Neil Cavuto is ignoring the mass police killings too.
He's discussing who will sit with whom at the SOTU tonight. Date night. Which dem an repub will hold hands tonight...4"20 PM. I shit you not.

So I don't think it's just liberals - I think its the mainstream media in general (which indeed includes FOX).

I don't quite understand your question, do gun advocates think everyone should have a gun? No I don't, it is your right to choose to have one or not to have one.
You can't blame an inanimate object for the actions of a person, I don't see the same reaction when someone goes nuts and plows into a crowd with a car. No one blames the car for actions of the person.

I dont pay attention to race to notice this. Has anyone researched this? Link? I think the attempted assassination of a congresswoman was pretty major news. if some guy shoots another guy, or loses his marbles and empties a clip before offing himself, it doesn't deserve nationwide coverage. Why give the prick the attention he wants? It'd be best if all these glory hound mass shooters were quietly arrested and hung without any attention to their shitty causes.
i remember the suicide notes of the asshole kid in tampa and the TX guy who flew their planes into shit. Why the F should the media publish their rants? better to just call em pricks, and that's the story.

yes, a national leader being shot is a news story, even if 12 nobodies getting shot is not. JFK is a huge story 50 years later. The millions slaughtered in [insert any event here] is not. It's how shit is.

Man Facing Charges After Beating Officer at Fayetteville IHOP
5 News-Fort Smith, AR ^ | 24 FEB 11 | Allison Woods
Two Fayetteville police officers were injured after a fight at IHOP in Fayetteville.
Police said officers responded to the business before 3 a.m. Wednesday after employees called about an intoxicated customer.
Officers attempted to arrest Hiram Graham, 35, of Fayetteville. Officers applied one handcuff before Hiram yanked his arm away and tucked it into his torso. Police attempted to use a taser, but it didn't work properly.
Shortly after, Hiram's brother, Joemo Graham, 33, began a physical fight with an officer. Police attempted to deploy another taser.
Hiram was able to grab an officer's baton. According to police reports, Hiram struck an officer repeatedly on the head, spine, torso, and extremities. The officer suffered an eight-inch gash to the top of her head. She also had a cut on her lip and multiple bruises. Another officer received minor injuries during the incident.
A witness grabbed Hiram's arm, stopping him from hitting the officer. The officer took out her gun and threatened to shoot Hiram. At this point, police were able to arrest the Graham brothers.
Hiram is charged with attempted capital murder, aggravated assault, battery 2nd degree, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and public intoxication. Police say use of a police baton is considered lethal force when it's used to hit the head and spine.
Joemo is charged with battery 2nd degree and hindering apprehension. Hiram and Joemo were taken to the Washington County Detention Center.
The officer hit by the baton was taken to a local hospital. She had a large, open injury to her head, which required multiple staples to close. She also received stitches on her chin. The second officer was treated for cuts, scrapes, and bruises. Both officers were treated and released.

John and Margaret Falcone watch as their son's casket is removed from a hearse at St. James the Apostle Church in Carmel. Slain City of Poughkeepsie Police Officer John Falcone grew up in Carmel. (Mark Vergari/The Journal News)
CARMEL — Mournful pipes, a riderless horse and Pougheepsie police pall bearers accompanied slain Poughkeepsie Police Officer John Falcone's body to church for his funeral today.
Dozens of motorcycle officers led the procession to St. James the Apostle Church followed by the Hudson Valley Police Pipes and Drums and a Poughkeepsie fire truck adorned in flowers.
Then came Falcone's hearse escorted by eight Poughkeepsie police officers serving as pall bearers. Family cars followed and a riderless horse with 2 empty boots in the stirrups, symbolizing the lost officer. The hearse arrived about 10:35 a.m., and the pall bearers took out the American flag-covered casket and took it into the church.
Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan is officiating at Falcone's funeral Mass,
Falcone, 44, was shot in the head about 1:10 p.m. Friday as police confronted a man who had just shot his wife dead near the Poughkeepsie Railroad Station.
The shooter, Lee Welch of Catskill, N.Y., then shot himself dead.
With 7,000 to 10,000 law enforcement officers, dignitaries and other mourners expected, most of the roads leading into and out of the hamlet are being closed to traffic.
Several road closures and detours in the area are in effect from 6:30 a.m. until 3 p.m., including on Routes 6, 52 and 301 and Fair Street, Putnam County Sheriff Donald B. Smith said.
Those not attending the funeral and not having other pressing business in the hamlet, Smith said, should avoid the area.

most criminals have serious records by the time they are in thier early 20's and they will regularly commit crimes well into their 50's and 60's. people don't realize exactly how many times they go in and out of the system and how lengthy their records become after only a few years. it's not like society doesn't have the chance to deal with these people before an innocent person gets raped/murdered/kidnapped/robbed/beaten.
That's not accurate... Most crime occurs between the ages of 16 and 30.

what part of the post is inaccurate? the majority of crime may be committed by 16-30yr olds while most CRIMINALS may be 30+. Statistics can mean different things. And consider.. are we counting petty crimes as well? If so then 16-30yr olds will def. take the blame.

If the majority of crime is committed by 16-30 year olds then how can most of them also be committing crimes in their 50s and 60s.
Crime is crime dude. You didn't specify violent crime.

That's because thugs aren't white... and of course most black people do support Obama full tilt.
I still say that's fine, because now no black people can say that "the man" keeps them down... If you can be President of the United States, I'd say you can be pretty much anything.

6 out of 10 white people supported mccain. Why does race matter at all? There were toothless people in Appalacain trailers who say they love hilary but will vote mccain because they hate obama's skin color - they admitted that on CNN to the cameras.
So why does race matter? Lots of white people and lots of black people vote along color lines - that's really not new to you, is it 33?
-
Blacks still do support obama by nine to one. I still see all the obama shit all over the place.
They do... but that's because the idea of a black president is still very new to this country... Remember... South Africa had a black president much earlier than the United States.
Once the premise of a President isn't whether or not he or she can be black or white... it will matter a hell of a lot less.
However, black people alone didn't put Obama in office... Facts are facts and the US is still primarily white... and voters even more so.... Guess who put the black man in office?
You got it.

Suspect dies in standoff with St Louis police
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110308/ap_on_re_us/us_st_louis_marshals_shot
By JIM SUHR, Associated Press Jim Suhr, Associated Press – 9 mins ago
ST. LOUIS – A suspect has died in a standoff with police at a house on the south side of St. Louis.
St. Louis police confirmed in a statement that a "male suspect is deceased." The statement did not explain how the man was killed.
A spokesman for the US Marshals Service, Jeff Carter, says two deputy U.S. marshals and one task force officer were shot and wounded in a gunfight at the property earlier Tuesday.
A hospital spokeswoman says one marshal is in critical condition and the other is in fair condition.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Two federal marshals and a police officer were shot and wounded in a gunfight early Monday at a St. Louis house where police are involved in a standoff, authorities said. One marshal is in critical condition.
A man holed up inside the house was apparently shot and wounded by police, according to a woman who described herself as his sister. City police spokeswoman Schron Jackson said police are involved in a standoff at the property, but she had no more information.
Police have cordoned off several blocks on every side of the house with police tape in the neighborhood in a poorer section of the city's south side. They blocked access to the property with police cars and vans.
One marshal is in critical condition and the other is in fair condition at the Saint Louis University Hospital emergency room, facility spokeswoman Laura Keller said.
Keller did not provide the officers' identities.
A St. Louis police officer was hit in his bullet-proof vest and suffered a graze wound and injuries from a fall, according to a recorded statement on the city police media hotline. It said he was taken to the Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
Jason Merrill, a spokesman for the Barnes-Jewish Hospital, confirmed that one person wounded in the shooting was being treated there, but provided no name or details of that person's condition.
Television video footage from KTVI in St. Louis showed one marshal being carried down an alley by several officers and being put into an ambulance.
There has been no word on any arrests.
While watching police come and go inside the house about a half-block away, a woman told reporters that her brother was inside the home and had been shot by police. She looked into television cameras and implored the brother to come out and surrender. The woman did not identify herself, and she quickly left in a car with another woman.
As police began to disband, bystanders appeared inflamed and began shouting obscenities at police. One officer with a police dog tried to quell the tempers.

Cop pushed to his death
By HANNAH RAPPLEYE, KELSEY HUEBERT and BOB FREDERICKS
www.nypost.com
Last Updated: 9:19 AM, March 14, 2011
________________________ ________________________ _
A veteran Brooklyn cop was killed yesterday when a crazed career thug shoved him off a brownstone stoop as the officer tried to cuff him, police said.
Officer Alain Schaberger, 42, was one of three cops from the 84th Precinct who first responded to a 4:22 a.m. call from a frantic woman at 334 Bergen St. in Boerum Hill.
"He said he's across the street, and he's going to kill me!" a panicked Kim Dykstra, 48, screamed to a 911 operator about her drunken boyfriend, George "Luigi" Villanueva, 40.
When police arrived, Villanueva, a petty thief with 28 prior arrests, had fled to his parents' home at 45 St. Marks Place.
Cops brought Dykstra to that home to identify Villanueva, and as officers escorted him out, he went berserk, authorities said.
Schaberger and other cops tried to cuff the 5-foot-8, 160-pound thug on the stoop. That's when Villanueva allegedly shoved the 5-foot-8, 180-pound Schaberger over the 18-inch-high metal railing and down the basement stairwell next to it.
"Officer Schaberger fell nine feet, striking his head on cement and landing feet up," a grim-faced Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said. The officer's neck was broken in the plunge.
Schaberger's colleagues twice Tasered the suspect, who had drained a dozen beers before his explosion. After being cuffed and put into a patrol car, the psycho perp tried to kick out one of the vehicle's windows.
Schaberger was rushed to Lutheran Hospital, where the 10-year NYPD veteran, who served four years in the Navy, was pronounced dead at 6:59 a.m.
Villanueva was charged with first-degree murder, aggravated murder of a police officer and assault. He was held without bail at his arraignment last night and faces life in prison without parole.
As he was led out of the 88th Precinct station house, he yanked his dark hoodie over his head and shouted to his brother, Daniel, who was waiting outside: "I need your number!"
Daniel later said of the struggle, "It became like a tug-of-war. The stoop is so small, you can't fit a hundred cops here . . . It was an accident."
Mayor Bloomberg met with the victim's distraught father, Paul, and live-in girlfriend, Soshone Peguese, 45.
"He and his family made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our city safe," Bloomberg said.
At noon, NYPD officers lined up in front of the hospital to pay respects to their fallen comrade, who worked the midnight shift and had joined the 84th Precinct in 2006 after a stint at Midtown South.
As an ambulance drove off bearing his body, the officers saluted, some crying.
Grieving cops were furious that Villanueva was on the street after his most recent arrest on domestic-violence charges Feb. 4.
"The cop would be alive today if he had been in jail," said one.
Another called Schaberger "a cop's cop" and "the kind of guy who would go out of his way to help someone, be it another cop or a civilian."
Villanueva had been busted on a charge of assaulting Dykstra in January, but was released last month after promising to appear in court.
His priors are mostly for robbery and burglary. He was apparently last in prison in 2009.

Deputy marshal killed in shootout with fugitive at St. Louis home
Share | .StoryDiscussionImage (9)Deputy marshal killed in shootout with fugitive at St. Louis home
By KIM BELL • kbell@post-dispatch.com > 314-340-8115 and TIM O'NEIL • toneil@post-dispatch.com > 314-340-8132 STLtoday.com | Posted: Wednesday, March 9, 2011 6:02 am | Loading…
UPDATED 10:40 a.m. Thursday with name and archive photo of city officer.
ST. LOUIS • A federal deputy marshal died Tuesday night, hours after he and another deputy and a city police officer were shot by a drug felon they were trying to arrest.
Deputy U.S. Marshal John Perry, 48, died at 7 p.m. at St. Louis University Hospital, the U.S. Marshal's Service said. Perry had been with the Marshal's Service for almost 10 years.
Perry was mortally wounded when Carlos Boles, who was wanted for allegedly assaulting a police officer and having drugs in October, opened fire Tuesday morning as a fugitive team tried to arrest him. Boles was killed by returning fire.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Theodore Abegg, who was also hit by gunfire, remained in fair condition Wednesday morning at St. Louis University Hospital with a wound to his ankle. Abegg, 31, has been with the Marshal's Service for three years.
Jeff Helbling, the city officer, was grazed on the face and neck, apparently from a shot deflected by his vest. He was treated at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and released. Helbling, in his 50s, is a 34-year veteran of the St. Louis Police Department. He has been with the fugitive squad since 1992.
Authorities on Wednesday continued to collect evidence at the house on Osage Street. The area remained blocked off by crime-scene tape, and the FBI had two tents set up across the street to help with processing the evidence. Rebecca Wu, a spokeswoman for the FBI, said they were there overnight and wouldn't be finished today.
Shooting erupted shortly before 7 a.m. Tuesday on the second floor of a two-family flat in the 3100 block of Osage Street, across from Marquette Park. Authorities said Boles, 35, opened fire as officers searched the rooms for him.
The officers had gone to Boles' apartment to arrest him on charges of assaulting an officer and possession of narcotics. Police said Boles had punched and choked an officer outside the same residence in October after officers tried to stop him on suspicion of selling narcotics. Officers used a Taser to subdue him.
Boles was arrested that day but was released pending formal charges. Police Lt. Col. Tim Reagan said lab tests confirmed a month later that a pill bottle Boles allegedly tossed during the incident contained heroin and cocaine base.
The St. Louis Grand Jury indicted Boles on Jan. 11. City police went to arrest him Tuesday with the aid of the marshals.
"The department's Violent Offenders Unit requested the assistance of U.S. marshals as a precaution, due to information received that Boles could pose a threat to law enforcement officials," a statement from police said.
The marshals service is the enforcement arm of the federal judiciary, specializing in fugitive searches and often assisting local departments in making warrant arrests.
"Our people and our partners are well-trained and prepared, but it is impossible to predict when a wanted individual will make a fateful choice that results in the loss of life or injury," Stacia A. Hylton, director of the Marshal's Service, said in a statement announcing Perry's death. "When that happens, and the life lost is a law enforcement officer or other public servant, it is an immeasurable tragedy felt by all."
Before becoming a U.S. marshal in 2001, Perry worked for about 16 years as a probation officer in the Madison County probation and court services department, said the department's director, Judy Dallas.
"John was just one of the very good guys," Dallas said. "He's totally an officer and a gentleman. We were all shocked today when we heard."
Perry held various positions while in Madison County, ultimately working as an intensive probation officer, handling armed surveillance of high-risk offenders. He decided to join the Marshal's Service because he thought working for the federal government was a good career move, Dallas said. He previously worked in the department as a DUI officer and a pretrial officer.
"He was just warm and fun-loving," Dallas said. "He was a people person who everyone always loved to be around."
Dallas said she believed Perry lived in Madison County for at least 25 years.
Before moving in to arrest Boles on Tuesday, police said officers had removed several children from the flat. The first report of officers down came by police radio at 6:51 a.m.
Three hours later, the Marshal's Service headquarters in Washington briefly announced that the critically injured deputy had died. The agency then quickly retracted the statement.
The police statement released Tuesday afternoon said Boles opened fire and wounded the first deputy marshal and the city officer. Officers returned fire, but Boles continued shooting and hit the second marshal. Boles then was killed by more return fire.
The police statement says investigators didn't know immediately how many officers had fired at Boles.
Relatives of Boles said he lived in the flat with a girlfriend and his sister's three children. They said he was the father of two children of his own, a boy, 5, and a girl, 2.
Boles had a felony record dating to January 1993, when he pleaded guilty of assaulting an officer at a juvenile detention center when he was 17. In 2005, he also pleaded guilty of four counts of drug possession and one of resisting arrest. Court files list other offenses as well.
William Sibert, the U.S. marshal in St. Louis, was joined Tuesday morning at St. Louis University Hospital by city Police Chief Dan Isom and Mayor Francis Slay.
"This is a tragic example of what our law enforcement officers go through every day," Slay said. "They need our support and their families need our support."
Back on Osage, the scene became chaotic for a time as SWAT officers surrounded the building and about 100 people, many of them angry at police, gathered.
Sannita Boles, who said she is Carlos Boles' sister, collapsed sobbing in the park across the street. "He's still in there," she wailed about her brother.
Police officers and others helped her up, then officers urged everyone to move away from the line of fire.
Another relative of Boles screamed to the face of an officer, "Why did you do this?"
Friends grabbed her and pulled the woman back. "It wasn't him," one friend said, referring to the officer she had yelled at.
Tony Johnson, 22, who lives nearby, said many in the crowd expressed "complete anger. People around here don't like cops."
But Daniel Shown, 31, who said he moved nearby about three months ago, said he supported the police.
"There are concerns about crime in this community," Shown said. "We are happy police are there to protect us. It's a tragic situation. Nobody's happy about anybody being shot, but police are there to do a job and enforce the law. There are many here happy that they are doing their job."
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce said her office couldn't seek felony charges immediately after the Oct. 11 incident because the assault charge was tied to narcotics, which required the follow-up lab work.
"We did it as quickly as possible," Joyce said of the analysis and charges. "My heart just goes out to these guys because they just have such a dangerous job. It's a very, very sad case."
Court files on Boles' cases show that his first assault conviction was for beating a detention officer at the Hogan Street Regional Youth Center. The files show he also escaped from the center.
While in prison in 1996, he was charged with possessing a controlled substance inside a corrections facility. In 2005, while visiting his probation officer downtown, he was found to have cocaine base.
His mother, Theresa Beal, wrote a letter to the court in 2005 pleading for leniency for her son.
"Deep down in my heart I feel my son never really had a chance in life," she wrote. "I know he's no Angel, yet he isn't the worse (sic) person either."
Beal wrote that her son was 15 when he was 'shot ten times and left for dead." Beal wrote that her son was carrying a pistol for protection when he was arrested and taken to juvenile detention.
Patrick M. O'Connell, Joel Currier, Valerie Schremp Hahn, Marlon A. Walker and Denise Hollinshed, all of the Post-Dispatch, contributed to this report.

11 hurt when gunmen open fire (Chicago)
Eleven people were hurt -- two seriously -- when gunmen opened fire near 75th Street and Vincennes Avenue in Englewood this morning and a fleeing car smashed into a CTA bus, witnesses and officials said.
It did not appear that anyone was wounded by gunfire, but instead were injured in the accident or by flying glass, the officials and witnesses said.
At around 9:30 a.m. , two men jumped from a red truck and began walking down the block, firing as the truck followed them, a witness said. They appeared to be aiming at a black Intrepid sedan.
"These young guys stepped out with AK-47s or Uzis or something and shot up the whole block," said Al Perkins, head cook at Ryan Anthony's restaurant in the 7400 block of South Vincennes.
