For some residents, the brutal manner in which the police said Officer Burks was killed called to mind a 2016 shooting, when a heavily armed sniper gunned down five officers in downtown Dallas during a protest against fatal police shootings. That shooting remains the deadliest single attack on law enforcement since Sept. 11.

Police propaganda is such a spectacle in this country. 5 people is the deadliest attack since 9/11

9/11 was an attack on law enforcement, because when heroic Officer Joe "Joey Two Meats" Avelino saw a video of the second plane hitting the towers, he fell off the toilet and got his head stuck between the toilet tank and the wall. after screaming for assistance, 2 other officers (Sgt. Anthony "Tony the Neck" Braggadocio, Officer Donato "Fat Donny" Lorenzo) came into the bathroom and tactically deployed themselves to affect a rescue of the distressed officer.

in trying to dislodge his head, they both had heart attacks and died. Officer Avelino was stuck there with his two fallen brothers, ultimately aspirating his own piss and dying as well.

at the time, this was the single deadliest attack on law enforcement in the US and the worst toilet involved disaster in a Staten Island police station since 1993, after a retirement party for Lieutenant Carmine "Chicken Carm" Mozzarello involving a 6 foot meatball sandwich.
