You can take the thuggie out of the ghetto, you just can’t take the ghetto out of the thuggie. Oh, sure, it must have been the prescription drugs that made him do this. Why, everyone on these meds stick up banks with a loaded pistol bringing tellers within an inch of their lives. Time for him to receive 3 hots and a cot, and we all know what happens to ex cops in prison….

NYPD Cops should be paid more money and get better benefits. Maybe if this guy was able to afford retirement this wouldn’t have happened!

He heard Obama’s speeches about everyone Black being a victim and felt he coulkd steal and then say he is a victim and that’s what made him do it.35 Years brings a nice kisss in the mail every month and he maybe getting vet pay too.But NOOOO…it’s just not enough! It was thye meds…it’s because I am black etc,etc,etc, I am sure he will vote for Obmassia.
