i'm not sure how many of you have heard about this, but it hits close to home for me, being from LI and having family members who are active PD and FD.
it sickens me to know that people like this exist, and makes me furious that this man was considering a "free" man yesterday while this happened. i almost wish that he was successful with trying to kill himself. now tax payers are going to pay to keep this man locked up when he deserves to rot.
the officer was 29 years old.

in addition to this, another nassau county police officer lost his life last week after stopping for a car accident. he was standing on the road when an SUV hit him and killed him.

A suburban New York City police officer killed after being shot in what started out as a traffic stop was an "exemplary officer," a county official said Wednesday, as he acknowledged the death of the civilian had been overshadowed by the outpouring of grief for the officer.
Nassau County Officer Arthur Lopez was killed Tuesday after getting shot in what had started out as a traffic stop near the Belmont Park racetrack. Ex-convict Darrell Fuller, 33, was arrested on charges of shooting him as well as another driver, 52-year-old Queens resident Raymond Facey, in a subsequent carjacking.

Ex-convict Darrell Fuller, 33, was arrested on charges of shooting him as well as another driver, 52-year-old Queens resident Raymond Facey, in a subsequent carjacking.
Fuller did time in state prison after a conviction for an attempted murder in October 2004 in Queens. In that case, he was also charged with criminal possession of a weapon and assault.
He pleaded guilty in December 2005 in that case and got 5 years in state prison. He had already been in custody since his arrest on Oct. 20, 2004.
Fuller was paroled in 2010, state records show. He violated his parole in Nassau County following felony drug sale and possession charges in March 2010 and was reincarcerated that August. He was released in May 2011.
