NEW YORK: Man who attacked NYPD cops with hatchet wanted to kill white people, dad says.

“And he was taking one of y’all with him,” the elder Thompson added, later clarifying that the “y’all” was a reference to white people.

“He just said, ‘They have to pay for all their unfairness,'” Ralph Thompson added. “Unfairness for the way they treat black people.”

The Post reported that three of the four officers Thompson attacked are white, while the fourth is Hispanic.

UPDATE: The article linked above left out that the issue wasn’t strictly unfairness but slavery. See “Ax attacker wanted ‘white people to pay’ for slavery.” And, as a recent convert to Islam, the attacker evidently didn’t feel the need to punish Muslims for their slavery.
