A steady stream of visitors are leaving flowers and candles and saying prayers at Myrtle and Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
The memorial is growing by the hour, now extends into the sidewalk almost to the point where the officers' patrol car was parked.
"It's just a shame. people aren't getting it. It's not about race. What's wrong is wrong. What happened in Staten Island, what happened here, it's wrong," said Bed-Stuy resident Merqui Guevare.
The busy street was the site of a candlelight vigil Sunday night.
Many were mourning through music at the spot where 2 NYPD officers were assassinated.
Led by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, hundreds held candles, paying tribute to officer Rafael Ramos and Wen Jian Liu, who protected their neighborhood, and worked to keep their families safe - ultimately costing them their lives.
"We're here to show just how angry we are," Adams said.
Dozens of officers lined up to pay their respects, some carrying flowers and fighting back tears.
State Senator Martin Dilan says Officer Ramos' family is home, but told him to thank everyone for their support.
"The family is very hurt, they are suffering - they want for at least the next 24 hours to be at peace, so they can make sense of what happened," says Dilan, "The message that they want to send is that they feel this was a random act."
