Wow… Let me almost care RT @MichaelSkolnik: Sources tell me that both NYPD officers shot in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn have passed away. — Broke and Nameless (@Beckz) December 20, 2014

It was just last night that a handful of supporters of the New York Police Department attempted to hold a #ThankYouNYPD rally. The group was easily outnumbered by protesters, who taunted them and likened the gathering to a Klan rally. Just days before that, police haters hijacked a #BlueLivesMatter hashtag, while others were caught on video at the #MillionsMarchNYC chanting, “What do we want? Dead cops!”

With news just coming in that two New York City police officers were reportedly ambushed in their patrol car and shot execution-style, it’s not surprising that the anti-cop contingent is coming out to proudly express their smug satisfaction if not outright joy with the slayings.

2 cops got bodied in Brooklyn. & the shooter said "I'm putting wings on pigs today" ?? Back home wild brah — MOD MAX (@Raannddeehh) December 20, 2014

Other protesters can care for these cops, but I've had enough. I feel nothing for them. My empathy quota has been reached. Sorry. — Nichole Bryant (@ndilettante) December 20, 2014

I read the story. Really don't care about those two cops dying. Moving along. — BEEday: January 6 (@YouWantToBEEme) December 20, 2014

I couldn't care less about those cops though .. to be completely honest. I can't even pretend to. — Browniee (@SlapMyDinosaur) December 20, 2014

I truly don't care that cops just got shot in head in NYC. It'll take drastic measures to change a racist nation that murders its citizens. — britta (@brittaplease) December 20, 2014

Twitter user @LilMissRightie has been grabbing screenshots of some of the most offensive posts for posterity.

Sorry guys, these tweets are revolting, I know. But we need the reminder how defective some of these protest people really are. — lauren (@LilMissRightie) December 20, 2014

And to the psychos angry I took a screenshot of your tweet, not my problem you choose to publish something so deranged. Be a better person. — lauren (@LilMissRightie) December 20, 2014

That was just an hour's worth of tweets and they were going so fast no way I caught them all. This will continue all through the night. — lauren (@LilMissRightie) December 20, 2014

Undoubtedly.

The point isn't if it was motivated by protests. The point is there an unholy amount of ppl happy it happened. Beyond redemption. — lauren (@LilMissRightie) December 20, 2014

I'm sorry i these tweets turned your stomach. I get it. But the anti-cop sentiment is real. It's sick. And most importantly it's dangerous. — lauren (@LilMissRightie) December 20, 2014

Pray for our country. If you're not the praying type, please put something good out in the universe today. We desperately need it. — lauren (@LilMissRightie) December 20, 2014
