Statement from SUNY Downstate Medical Center - Social Media Posts Attributed to a Downstate Employee
Dec 22, 2014
We are aware that there are offensive comments about the shooting of Officers Liu and Ramos that have been attributed to a SUNY Downstate employee.
The individual to whom these comments were attributed is not an employee of SUNY Downstate.
Our thoughts and sympathies go out to the families of the two officers and the entire NYPD family.
