Anastasios Tsakos. Will anti-police activists say his name? Probably not, but one of them allegedly killed a New York Police Department (NYPD) officer in a drunk driving incident early Tuesday morning.

Newsweek is now reporting that the suspect, who will remain nameless in this article because she’s “allegedly” a horrible person, held and subsequently posted a two-hour Facebook Live stream in which she played the N.W.A. song “F*** Tha Police” to open the stream and ended the steam by saying “f*** the police.”

According to Newsweek:

She went on to share her views on the Derek Chauvin trial, police violence against black people and how she wanted others to fight police.

[The suspect] said: "We can fight the police too. If you're going to shoot me, get it over with. What I'm saying you're not going to try me while I'm still breathing."

She later added: "Like N.W.A say about the police—if you're going to kill me, at least I get to take someone with me. I'm one of those people. If I'm going to go, someone is coming.”[…]

[The suspect] said: "I know 13-year-olds from the hood that know a Taser from a gun. I know mother f**** know a BB gun from a Taser from a gun. How come you can't figure that out.”

[The suspect] signed off the livestream saying she would be back next week and added: "And until then, f*** the police.”

Following her self-righteous and violence-inducing ramblings against police, which Facebook apparently doesn’t have a problem with until it’s too late, the suspect got behind the wheel of her car — while admittedly drunk and stoned, according to ABC 7 - New York — hit and killed Officer Tsakos, 43, while he was attempting to direct traffic on the Long Island Expressway.

The suspect is in custody, and made comments while being taken away by authorities.

“I’m sorry,” the suspect said. “I’m sorry that I hit him and that he’s dead.”

Sorry doesn’t bring Officer Tsakos back to his wife and two young children.
