How do they know he is “self-radicalized”? What mosque does Jamal Funes attend? Has anyone investigated that mosque? Or would that be “Islamophobic”?
“2 cops hurt after shootout with alleged Brooklyn radical,” by Shawn Cohen, Larry Celona and Jamie Schram, New York Post, February 20, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
The career criminal whose drawn gun sparked a wild shootout in which two Brooklyn police officers were wounded in Bedford-Stuyvesant early Saturday is a cop-hating, self-radicalized Muslim who is associated with other suspected extremists, police sources told The Post.
Jamal Funes, whose rap sheet stretches 17 years across three states, is associated with people the Joint Terrorism Task Force are looking at, sources said.Funes fired the bullet that richocheted off a car and hit Officer Andrew Yurkiw in the chest, sources said. The ammo was stopped by his bulletproof vest, sources said.
Yurkiw’s partner, Officer William Reddin, was struck in the hip, possibly by bullet fragments. It’s unclear whether the bullet was fired by Funes or was friendly fire because it is still in his hip, sources said.
Reddin needed surgery and remains in stable condition at Kings County Hospital.
Seven officers fired a total of 54 bullets, one source said.
Funes, 34, was shot “numerous” times and was in Brookdale Hospital in critical condition, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said.
The incident began when Funes stopped his car at a traffic light on Malcolm X Boulevard and Quincy Street, police sources said.
An MTA worker in his transit uniform was in his own car waiting at the same light, when, looking over, he saw Funes allegedly pointing a silver gun at him, the sources said. The rattled MTA staffer sped off.
Police believe Funes mistook the MTA worker for a police officer, according to the sources.
At the same time, two housing police officers heard a gunshot and ran to investigate, the sources said.
Funes next allegedly leveled his weapon but didn’t fire, the sources said. Instead, he drove off, and the housing cops jumped in their car to chase him. They also called for backup.
Reddin and Yurkiw, part of an 81st Precinct plainclothes anti-crime unit, joined in the chase.
They followed Funes as he zoomed the wrong way down Lexington Avenue and slammed into a patrol car.
Surrounded in his car, Funes faced off against eight cops at Lexington and Malcolm X Boulevard.
Bullets flew both ways, with two hitting Reddin and Yurkiw, who had both gotten out of their car.
“When officers show up, they’re in the middle of a combat situation and have to make split-second decisions whether to shoot,” said a source, who called the incident “a moving, running gun battle.”
Funes stayed inside his car throughout the shootout.
One resident said, “We felt like we were in Baghdad.”…

What thoughts run through “journalists” minds when they write such idiotic pap?

Journalists no longer have thoughts. They simply execute the program provided by their leftist masters.

Brooklyn: Muslim wounds two cops in shootout
……………………
More blood on our streets courtesy of Islam–I’m just glad this JIhadist was unable to murder anyone.
I won’t even mention the sick irony of this happening on Malcolm X Boulevard. Why do we even have such a street in America?
Until recently this was Lenox Avenue:

In fact, there are several suchAmerican streets named for this violent Black Muslim:

Yeah, if they have to give streets names of people, why not the law-abiding who have lived long in the area or who have made contributions to the betterment of their fellow citizens?
Why do the people in charge feel the constant need to give glory to those who wish to kill or enslave others? It makes no sense.
Shane says
Islam has great appeal to violent Black criminal psychopaths who hate Whites, cops, and America. Islam justifies their hatred for the infidels and gives them permission to rape and kill the Whites that they hate so much. The left and Islamists are allied to destroy Western Civilzation, and they are making great progress in their jihad against us. Because so many Americans refuse to see the link between Islam and violence committed by Muslims, we cannot defeat this enemy. Are there any Democrat leaders who will tell the truth about Islam and terrorism?
Screeminmeeme says
The irony is that Muhammed had contempt for blacks who he enslaved and saw as inferior ”’raisin heads” . Funny how Islamic proselytizers don’t tell their targeted audience that fact.
JeffS says
Just to set the record straight, this is the Malcolm X Blvd in Brooklyn, which used to be Utica Avenue. The Malcolm X Blvd in Manhattan was originally Lenox Avenue.
Oliver says
I grew up and lived in Brooklyn for several decades.
I had friends who lived near Utica Ave. I never knew that they changed the name.
AND LENOX AVE IN MANHATTAN? I would hope that it is only in Harlem, and not midtown — what a disaster.
Did DeBlassio do this, or was it Bloomberg?
Sickening, just sickening.
Angemon says
Couldn’t have happened to a better person.
Sam says
Another isolated instance which has nothing to do with the religion of peace. Any bets?
Mark Swan says
Pass
Shane says
That is how most liberals in the world will view acts like these, including Obama, Shillary and Bernie!
grace says
So that’s OK. Just inspired by and obedient to the koran.
Sal says
This story is being buried by the media. Most people don’t know about it.
It’s sickening what happened to this country.
Today’s media should be tried for treason for NOT accurately reporting the news

One resident said, “We felt like we were in Baghdad.”…
The realization is gradually dawning on Western people that Muslims are very dangerous.
When will they wake up to the need to stop the immigration immediately?
Carolyne says
Actually, they were in Baghdad-on-the-Hudson.

One more time, everybody sing: “We are fighting ‘them’ ‘over there’ so we do not have to fight them here.”
Resist says
One look at their faces and no need to say more…..
Tom S says
There is no compulsion in Islam.
This person must have recited the shahada of his own volition; ergo, there is no reasonable argument against him being “self-radicalized”.
Case closed.
hammar says
mohammed was no prophet. Most Prophets of the Bible might of had a six year old daughter. But mohammed had a six year old slave girl that he pretended was his wife? Is this a sick faith. mohammed was a child molester. He was no Prophet of God. Maybe a prophet of the devil.
islam is a sick faith and around 1 billion people who follow this are sick as well.

It’s unclear whether the bullet was fired by Funes or was friendly fire because it is still in his hip, sources said. Where such information?
