More Attacks On Police: Officers Stabbed in Unprovoked Attack

How many officers have to be physically attacked or killed before the rage mob is satisfied?

Over the past week America has experienced multiple instances of law enforcement officers being physically attacked, ambushed, shot at, and even killed.

Now it's happened again. An officer in New York City was stabbed last night and two more were shot.

Phil Helsel and Tom Winter report:

A New York City police officer was stabbed in the neck by a man in Brooklyn late Wednesday in what is preliminarily believed to be an unprovoked attack, police said. Two other officers were shot in the chaotic scene that involved gunfire.
All three officers are expected to recover, Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said at an early Thursday news conference. The suspect, who was not identified, was shot multiple times and was in critical condition at a hospital.
A motive in the stabbing and whether it was connected to unrest in the city following the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis last week, was not clear.
"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 suspect is a 20-year-old Brooklyn man, law enforcement officials said, and he was shot eight times.
NYPD Believes Still-At-Large Stabbing Suspect Connected To Another Previous Attack

NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 04: A police officer pauses near the entrance to the building where two children were attacked with a knife last Sunday in an East New York neighborhood apartment building elevator on June 4, 2014 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. Prince Joshua Avitto, 6, and Mikayala Capers, 7, were stabbed repeatedly by a man who later fled the scene and is still at large. Joshua died at Brookdale Hospital while Capers is in critical condition after undergoing surgery. It is believed that the suspect may have been involved with another recent stabbing in the same neighborhood. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
