Media Nearly Silent After NC Cop Thwarts NYPD-Style Assassination Attempt

Media Nearly Silent After NC Cop Thwarts NYPD-Style Assassination Attempt

A Durham, NC police officer sitting in a parked car saved his own life Thursday night by catching the approach of two men in his squad car's rear-view mirror. The officer exited his vehicle to confront the pair, when one of the would-be assassins opened fire without saying a word:
A Durham police officer dove for cover Thursday night after a man walked up and began shooting at him, police said Friday. The incident happened about 10 p.m. on Lakeland Street, just north of Truman Street. Police said Officer J.T. West was sitting in his patrol car, working on a report, when he saw two men approaching his car from behind. As West got out of the car to speak to them, one of the men pulled out a gun and began firing, police said. The man fired six shots at West, striking the patrol car once. West fired two rounds in return. Police said it wasn't known if West wounded either of the men. West injured his wrist when he dove behind a staircase at a vacant apartment building at 1414 Lakeland St. He was treated at a nearby hospital and released. Police said West and the men, who ran from the scene, never exchanged words.
The attempted assassination mimicked the tactics used to murder NYPD officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu on December 20. The Baltimore gang member who killed those walked up on the right rear of the officers' marked police car and opened fire without warning. The gang member in that instance—who committed suicide minutes later in a subway as authorities closed in—cited the deaths of Michael Brown an Eric Garner as his excuse to "put pigs in a blanket." The obvious copycat nature of the attack and it's near success was simply ignored by WRAL and was only noted in passing by ABC 11. The Raleigh News & Observer—infamous for their support of eugenics and backing the Ku Klux Klan in the only successful coup against an elected government in American historylikewise failed to mention the obvious similarities to the assassination of the two NYPD officers. The national news media has not mentioned the attempted assassination at all, though it continues to fawn over the "social justice" revolutionaries using the mythologies of "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" and "I Can't Breathe" as they disrupt lawful commerce, attack police officers, riot, and loot private businesses.
