New York City Police Department officers were 'assassinated' - Telegraph.co.uk

"They were, quite simply, assassinated - targeted for their uniform," said Police Commissioner William Bratton, who looked pale and shaken at a hospital news conference.

Brinsley was black; the officers were Asian and Hispanic, police said.

Early on Saturday, Bratton said, Brinsley went to the home of a former girlfriend in the Baltimore area and shot and wounded her.

Police there said they noticed Brinsley posting to the woman's Instagram account about a threat to New York officers.

Baltimore-area officials sent a warning to New York City police, who received it around the time of the shooting, Bratton said.

Criminal records show Brinsley has a history of arrests on various charges in Georgia, including robbery, shoplifting, carrying a concealed weapon, disorderly conduct and obstruction of a law enforcement officer.

Police in New York are being criticised for their tactics following the recent chokehold death of Garner, an unarmed black man who was stopped by police on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.

Amateur video captured an officer wrapping his arm around Garner's neck and wrestling him to the ground.

Garner was heard gasping, "I can't breathe" before he lost consciousness.

Demonstrators around the country have staged protests since a grand jury decided on 3 December not to indict the officer in Garner's death.

The decision closely followed a Missouri grand jury's decision not to indict a white officer in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old.

Bratton said they were looking at whether the suspect had attended any rallies or demonstrations.
