Criminal Assassinates NYPD Mother Of Three

POWERLINE has this to say about that horrible crime against a servant of the people of New York:

Alexander Bonds, an ex-con with a long rap sheet, shot and killed New York City police officer Miosotis Familia, a mother of three, as she sat in a patrol car in the Bronx. The attack was unprovoked. It was an assassination.

According to the New York Times:

Around 12:30 a.m., as Officer Familia neared the end of her shift, Mr. Bonds walked up to the vehicle and fired a single round from a .38-caliber, five-shot Ruger revolver through a passenger-side window, according to Deputy Chief Jason Wilcox, the commander of detectives in the Bronx.

Immediately after the shooting, Officer Familia’s partner, Vincent Maher, called for assistance, and two other officers encountered the suspect, who was running on Morris Avenue, about one block away. When the gunman drew a silver revolver, they opened fire, killing him.

A bystander was struck by a bullet in that shootout, and is in stable condition…

Sen. Tom Cotton issued this statement about the slaying of Officer Familia:

The only thing Officer Miosotis Familia could be accused of doing was protecting the community she served—until the very end. This was an especially senseless and wanton murder. And it shows how much we owe the men and women in blue, who spent their holiday weekend working while the rest of us celebrated, and how much we need to push back against the toxic forces that demean and defame police work.

GATEWAY PUNDIT notes that Bonds pushed for or was an activist for Hillary Clinton. He merely mentioned that if he could vote, he would vote for Hillary:

You see that response to a person he knows he mentioned he cannot vote (he is a convicted felon), but would vote for Hillary. Not an activist to say the least. I perused his Facebook and couldn’t find overt cultist links or groups he joined of question (like Nation of Islam or Five-Percenters). It looks like he was more concerned with women than anything else. I can say he had an unhealthy view of police relations — after watching a bunch of his “live” videos and other postings by him on his wall. He was a thug who swallowed the typical Leftist lie. But his animus seemed to be driven by hatred of the police.

I don’t feel as confident as the crazy InfoWars site or Gateway Pundit site in trying to connect this to political activism at this time. BUT, he wasn’t a Republican.
