Star NYPD Cop Dies After Getting Shot by Career Criminal

With the recent string of police officers being involved in the deaths of unarmed people, it’s easy to overlook the fact that there are plenty of good cops out there. NYPD officer Brian Moore was one of them, earning multiple service medals before he was shot in the head by a career criminal in Queens on Saturday. Yesterday, the 25-year-old Moore was pronounced dead after lying in a coma; prosecutors will now file first-degree murder charges against Demetrius Blackwell. “He risked his life for a very simple notion: to keep everyone else safe, to keep our society safe, to keep order,“ New York City mayor Bill de Blasio said of Moore.
