it was known as do or die bed-stuy.mortald from people like biggie smalls. the house featured in that movie sold for $1.7 million. this does not happen in the city where there's law and order. it doesn't happen in a city where the police are targets of scorn and madmen. the war on police have declared war on every citizen. the stakes include your safety, your prosperity, and years of improvement in quality of life between races, classes, and all americans in general. all right, guys. you know, it's really tough talking about this thing. and, you know, there is the financial angle to it. you don't talk about it per se. new york in the 1970s was pure hell. you don't get buildings where you sell apartments $100 million where you have the war on police. >> this whole situation is heartbreaking. as many of you know, i am an nypd wife. and the problem is, it's the crime. it's economic, but first and foremost the crime will bring down our economy. it's so tragic for so many people. for people like me born in 1964, it was a mom

when we believe he's in the fort green section of brooklyn, fort breen or bed-stuy. if anyone has seen this individual, saturday the 20th, between 1:2:00 and 2:30 p.m., call our crime stoppers hotline, 1-800-577-tips. the male is a male, black, 6'1", approximately 235 pounds. he was wearinging the clothing you see over here that chief boyce describes -- particularly i'd like you to focus on that patch with the indian arrowhead in red and white. very distinctive. if you saw that male on saturday the 20th during those hours in bed-stuy or fort green, call our crime stoppers hotline. >> just to reiterate, people are stepping forward who do know him who are painting the same picture we already know, that he's a troubled man and he was at rage with police officers. that seems to be the issue, anti-government, anti-police. and that's where we're going forward. i would urge anyone with information on this man to step forward. thank you. >> the investigation we have conducted so far leads us to believe that he acted alone. early on there was concern that -- was he, in fact,

>> yeah, so i mean, you know, it's -- it's a pretty -- bed-stuy is a pretty sprawling area. predominantly african-american. you know, the marcie project's right down here. and there's a pretty good police presence here for the past year. so -- and i haven't, you know -- at least since i've lived here there have not been a lot of crimes near me. but it's pretty sprawling. and right now it's been a little tense. one man in the liquor store that i was in a minute ago was just talking about how tense relations have been lately, again, since the protests have been happening in manhattan after the ferguson -- the incidents in ferguson occurred recently. >> right. and the grand jury ruling on eric garner and the decision not to go forward with prosecution. all right, mike isaac, thank you very much. a witness in the neighborhood where the shooting took place. and, again, two new york city police officers in uniform and sitting in their nypd patrol car were shot ambush style today in brooklyn. we are told both officers were shot in the head and both have now died from their wounds.

will join operation impact, deployed like a blue army into high-crime neighborhoods, including bed-stuy's precincts, where we find lieutenant terrance mccaul. >> you have post 20. moran? >> yes, sir. >> you have impact post 31. all right, guys, if there's no questions, i'll turn it over to the captain. >> just a couple things. we had shots fired this morning on the boulevard. just be aware. like i told you guys before, you have to be ready for everything. that's it, fall out. >> reporter: the rookies go off in groups of three or four, on to the streets of to the streets of bed-sty. the crime rate in this community is falling but remains among the highest in the city. on their third day on the job, many of them are still getting to know the community. >> most of these cops are not from brooklyn, you know what i'm saying? so, therefore, it takes them a minute to acclimate themselves to the community. >> adjust to the community. >> adjust to the community. >> [ bleep ]. >> get the feeling not everybody likes us? >> i came from the type of environment where we were on this side of the street

if anyone has seen him in the bed-stuy area, we need to know that. >> [ inaudible ]. >> again, we wereble to identify fen eyewitnesses to the count. two courageous con-ed workers saw the event and chase himd in their truck. they alerted two officers that were involved in that detail, that anti-violence detail. they alerted the seven-five officers who went down and pursued him down into the subway is when he took his life. can't thank those two individuals enough. >> [ inaudible ]. >> that's to be determined adds well. you saw the instagram message? that went out about 12:20, i believe. maybe even before that. so that's the first time we've seen that. it's his instagram account. we feel right now he was accessing that account through her phone. >> [ inaudible ]. >> i don't want to get into that. a lot of conjecture on my part. so yes, he did apologize to the mother and that's really the only act of violence we could find in his career. not to say he didn't do anything before, but i can't speak to -- >> [ inaudible ]. >> the we can see on instagram where he rants. that's all i have right

in the middle of the day, this happened at 3:00 in the afternoon in bed-stuy.king up to their marked cruiser with these two uniformed police officers and shooting. can't imagine it getting any worse than that. >> no, it's absolutely unbelievable. i was a uniformed officer. when you wear a uniform, you're in a marked car, everybody knows who you are. everybody knows who you are. they know who you are when you're having lunch or standing in the street, and you don't know who they are. you don't know their intent. it is just like the person that attacked the four nypd officers with a hatchet the last month or so. an attack can come at any moment. officers accept that risk to wear the badge, but this is just outrageous. we'd like to have justice in the case. now the guy commits suicide because he was followed quickly by other responding officers who did an excellent job to apprehend him. he could have killed again. >> given the divide between the public and the police and the grand jury out of ferguson, missouri, not indicting officer darren wilson there as well, w

they were put into the worst area of bed stuy. they said this is a high-crime area. you've got to go there, try to calm things down. get inside the community. what did they do? were they there because they wanted some action? were they there because they wanted just to get their paycheck cleared? no. they're there for the people in the community. if you talk to the cops who work that area, they say the people there who go to work every day, who go to school, they want the police force there. >> of course. they want more cops. >> where the cameras show up and protesters show up, it is the guys who are doing, selling drugs and unsavory activity finding their way to the cameras to speak out against the cops in the area. >> howard sabre has been on this program many times and he fault the president and the mayor for over the last couple of months after ferguson and after eric garner being antipolice. here he is, the former commissioner of new york city. >> in over 40 years in police work i've never seen an atmosphere like this. there have been incidents in the past when
