The True Bosses Only (TBO) gang reportedly bragged about their plans to kill the cops. They brazenly posted their violent and deadly threats on Facebook and YouTube.
Gang member Yasin Shearin, who made this terrorist threat in a Facebook post, “Let’s kill the cops,” has been charged with conspiracy for allegedly using social media as part of a criminal operation.
The threat was decorated with emojis of a gun and cops and it was posted following the deaths of NYPD officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu. who were shot dead in December 2014 while sitting in their patrol car in Brooklyn. They were ambushed at point-blank range and killed on by a man who, officials said, traveled to the city from Baltimore.
The TBO gang are at war with Elm Street Piru, Loot Gang and 900 Gang. They are tied to 10 shootings that left seven injured, three were captured on video.
The gang of menacing millennial men, ages 17-26, have officials on high alert.
Acting Brooklyn district attorney Eric Gonzalez says, “This indictment describes a terrifying mix of deadly force and mindless obsessions with turf, leading to serious consequences for innocent bystanders.”
Shearin has countered with a lawsuit in Brooklyn Supreme Court claiming his First Amendment rights were violated.
