I'm having a hard believing that the "dead cops" thing wasn't an isolated incident, incited by provocateurs, to make all protesters against police brutality look like terrorists. I haven't heard that slogan anywhere else before today.
That being said, I hope that, at least those who led the chant were arrested for inciting lawlessness. Because calling for the death of anyone, cop or not, is illegal.
I also believe that the Police Commissioner, who blamed De Blasio for this, and Patrick Lynch, who declared war, should both be fired for threatening the people of New York. The true colors of police corruption are showing, big time.

I read something recently that said that most officer involved in a shooting shoot to kill due to lack weapon proficienc.
Not exactly sure were the article was going with that because a none lethal shot, but one that would make some one think twice before taking another step forward, for the most part (pending situational stress factors) isnt hard.
Im a firm believe that they shoot to kill, to squash reliability, and to keep from a conflicting story.
There mind set problyn, "if i must fire my weapon, i must also secure my employment, and financial assets. Shoot to kill, or shoot to end career and lose everything. Fire for affect"
Of course, on the flip side, you could wonder if more are saying it, and it's just not getting recorded. Couple the "dead cops" chant with the one right before it about "Hands up, Shoot back," and I'm quite certain this isn't an isolated instance, as I've heard the 'shoot back' chant before.
I don't disagree that they should be arrested, but there's the catch-22 of the cops--arrest them, they'll be labeled as overbearing tyrants because they didn't appear to act on the chant, they were "just practicing their first-amendment right" and could claim they kept it peaceful. But, continue to let this crap fester, and you will see more unwarranted violence against officer by the weakminded people who let these chants echo in their sick heads and feel that they must act on them.
