An NYPD officer was stabbed in the neck by a man in Brooklyn late Wednesday in what is preliminarily believed to be an unprovoked attack, police say.

"What we know at this point in time is that it appears to be a completely cowardly, despicable, unprovoked attack on a defenseless police officer — and thank God we're not planning a funeral right now," Shea said.

The stabbing happened at around 11:45 p.m. in the Flatbush neighborhood as two officers were assigned to an anti-looting post. Surveillance video shows a man"walk up to the officers casually, take out a knife and stab one of the officers in the neck," he added.

Unprovoked? Another headline: 75-year-old man “trips” in Buffalo.

Peaceful stabbing

What the fuck do they expect? When they view every man, woman child, and reporter as threat and indiscriminately attack them. All of the sudden they're surprised when it happens to them? They've attack greater numbers for simply being called names. BulliesWithBadges

Is there video like George Floyd?

Ive been watching people get beat, murdered, churches burn, lives ruined... whats happening?

Just like they're attacking peaceful protestors and journalists completely unprovoked?

Ten year challenge Tea Party edition

Prayerful!

Please stop the violence!

BLM = Terrorists

U do it every day against black people. And how does it feel ? Paunfull aint it 🤷🏻‍♂️

When police continue to poke the bear... 🤷‍♂️

Probably a trump pet. Same as the looters.

NYPD officer was stabbed in the neck he didn't provoke it where's the suspect? Why haven't you arrested the suspect? We want Justice?! An officer was stabbed in the neck can you hear me we want Justice! We want it now!

You all really chose to share this? 😒Police propaganda has got to go. Why don’t you cover the thousands of unlawful arrests that have happened this week or the people that police have killed this week as people speak against police brutality.

1994 Crime Bill written by JoeBiden voted yes by SpeakerPelosi voted yes by 235 democrats signed by BillClinton separated more black families than slavery ever did. Longer sentences for blacks than whites for the same crimes. And you support Democrats? You're stupid.

That's sad, but you know what's also sad? Unarmed people being shot and murdered by the police all the time and it being called 'Justified'

Geez, first I've seen this scenario in reverse

Thanks Dnc

Very peaceful protest

That’s what they get hurting innocent people!

WillieGeist What a quaint headline! “Unprovoked”? You’ve got to be kidding.

Everyone is like “..same”

Good

WillieGeist

Were any civilians hurt? Millions of people in NYC and you're reporting on one measly cop and they're not even dead? No. Stop the Police Are Priority reporting.

The Monsters are Due on Maple Street

Unprovoked? Nah I need both sides BlackLivesMatter fuckthepolice

WellsBlackerby You Marxist hate America. This isn't about blacks this is about anarchy & destruction. Keep calling them 'protestors'

ali I think seeing cops jack people up for no reason, 100s of times in 5 days, is the provocation.

Curious to know: in your daily reports, why do you decide not to differentiate between protestors, criminals, and terrorists?

I hope his grandma dies for breaking lockdown. - twitterfolk

What kind of drugs were in his system?

YouAintBlack

Are you serious? Unprovoked? What are you, police propaganda machine?

This is who bank of america and apple financially support

I thought you always mentioned the race of the people involved in violent incidents in the headline? Or only in a certain direction?

Animals not peaceful protestors.

Believed to be? 🖕

jack look at comments here.. you must be so proud.

Celebrities probably already bailed the criminal out. Oh. Wait. There is no bail in NY

Suddenly it’s police officers getting brutalized? Wait where were u till yesterday when thousands of lives got devastated & you’re promoting the riots. R u ashamed of yourself ?

Unprovoked, you mean random attack on officer protecting city from unprovoked rioting

Democrats gonna democrat. Enjoy your bed.

“Peaceful protests”

Loving these peaceful protests.

I've seen a lot of footage of how NYPD has been acting lately. I highly doubt the attack was unprovoked.

We must remember that a few bad Apples do not mean that all Apples are bad Apples. There are good and wonderful people in abundance in our world and society, but we must always be on our guard that the few bad ones do not take over or succeed in their misdeeds. 🕵️‍♀️

Part of the job.

Define 'unprovoked' ... Like ... Have you been watching the news at all recently

The media has caused all the divisions in America. With their constant drumbeat of 24/7 hatred.

Fuck!

Unprovoked? Hmm 🤔

Unprovoked like the protesters

Holy crap the level of brainwashing is an all-time high. Cops are not even allowed to defend themselves from violent thugs. This country is done for.

Unprovoked FOH the nypd been agitating and provoking people all week

They will be hunted after this whole thing finishes.

This is ridiculous. People want justice but only for their cause. Justice is blind. Let it roll for all!

Get the preliminary assumption in before the truth takes hold...

Many police have been suspended for beating the hell out of protestors for no reason so cover all of the injustice

When the looting starts, the shooting starts.. PROTECT your businesses ppl!! & vote ALL Republican

What about the peaceful people who we’ve all seen being beaten, violently, by the police?

Sure would be interesting to know if all these assaults were Democrats or tRump supporters 🤔That includes rye cops as well...?

Stabbed in the neck by a peaceful protester huh ?

We have seen the exact same thing happened in HK but westerners chose to ignore it.

The deaths are on your hands, you've enabled the violence through your rhetoric and by acting as a PR agent of the people committing the destruction. All because you lost an election. When people look back with calmer minds, your actions will be obvious.

I wonder who did it... and then I wonder if it will increase the violence... hmmm. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Ahh the knife method. Popular in U.K. and Israel.

Peaceful

I wouldn’t describe any violence against NYPD as “unprovoked” right now. They started a war and are indiscriminately brutalizing people. New Yorkers are justifiably terrified. After seeing countless videos my conclusion is the police force is a scourge to public health.

This needs to stop and stop now

Just remember objects can be replaced, but not people!!!!!!

If you'd start calling these riots instead of protests, you wouldn't be gaslighting your readers anymore.

I call for our great president of the United States to activate the United States military to intervene in these liberal cities. Do it now!

Hey I'd like to report some unprovoked attacks on people in NYC by the police, including 3 officers beating a man on a bicycle and multiple instances of officers launching chemical weapons at crowds. Unprovoked.

'unprovoked'

Candace Owens Says She Does NOT Support George Floyd via YouTube

my2cnz unprovoked? haha that’s funny.

I can run from the slow zombies but I don't stand a chance against them fast zombies

Good riddance.

“Peaceful protesters” 🤡

Unprovoked? Law enforcement had been attacking people FOR DAYS. Law enforcement has left People in flight or fight and have nothing left to loose. I'm not condoning a citizen attacking police, but what did they think would happen? Cause and effect.

No violence, breaking, looting, setting fire, sneaky stealing..

I am glad this stuff is getting reported. Riot policing is extremely difficult and dangerous.

Now report on the hundreds of unprovoked attacks from cops on protesters nationwide

Unprovoked? 😂🤣😂Yall blind?

NYPD turned in to an ISIS-inspired terror group attacking the citizens, not sure how it was unprovoked.

Omg! This is getting worse! Lets not hurt each other but try to find a solution for the problems! How could we all are gonna survive with so much hatred and anger! There must be a limit for everything!

'Unprovoked' I've seen unprovoked officers in Flint, people walked with them. I'm not buying this. WeedThemOut

Propaganda

It would be totally justified if it were 'provoked' by the police officer, or why is this worth pointing out?

Cops have been abusing protestors all week in unprovoked attacks. Cover that!

Those cops were attacking protesters all night.

That’s awful. This is out of hand.

NYPD Opens Probe Into Officers Who Drove Police Cars Into ProtestersThe New York City Police Department opened an investigation into officers who accelerated their police cars into protesters blocking their way, Mayor Bill de Blasio said. How about the scumbags who set them on fire let them protest What about hitting clubbing whomever is in reach. It’s Gang beatings. They punch, kick, hit, tase, beat, shoot whomever they want and get away with it. That is not “policing” and IS the very reason the whole country is rioting! Watch video: The police were trying to escape a dangerous situation where 'protesters' (rioters) were putting their lives in danger. Case closed.
