    Ismaaiyl (IHSH’-mayl) Brinsley’s mother tells the Daily News (http://nydn.us/1zcYJUF ) in a story published Tuesday that she’s horrified and “deeply sorry” about what her son did.

    Shakuwra Dabre says her 28-year-old son made suicide attempts starting at age 13, was institutionalized and was on and off antidepressants for years. She says that he rebuffed his family’s pleas to get help and that she last spoke to him in July.

    Police say Brinsley vowed online to kill officers before he shot Officers Wenjian Liu (WEHN’-jihn LOO’) and Rafael Ramos (rah-fy-EHL’ RAH’-mohs) Saturday. Brinsley then killed himself.

    His middle name is very arabic and media is not mentioning. Even if he made a name change, its something to report. Now PRONTO. the picture says his origins

    No one would comment on that, cuz in this instance it’s irrelevant. He didn’t kill as an Islamic terrorist but only cuz he wanted revenge for the death of a black man in the hands of white officers. For that matter, all that matters was his own race.

    Sure,
    When a police kills a black – there are riots all over,
    When a black muslim kills cops – he is not well!
    Where is Sharpton?
    Let’s make riots once again!
    Just this time make it for the families of the killed policemen!

    what do you expect from a muslim? they believe that if you kill an infidel, some one who is not a Muslim, they will go to heaven and get 70 virgins.

    You have to be crazy to believe such stuff, but it appears that there is no shortage of nuts and loonies who do believe it.

    It seems this lady has suffered much because of her mentally ill child. She seems to be handling this with much dignity.
