Barstool boss Dave Portnoy has launched a fundraiser for the New York City police officer that was killed by Shane Tamura during Monday night’s mᴀss shooting in Midtown Manhattan.  

Didarul Islam was one of the victims of the horrific act, as the Bangladeshi immigrant lived in The Bronx and was a father of two, with a third on the way. He had been with the NYC police department for four years.   

Portnoy’s emotional social media message states he will match any proceeds Barstool makes from its ‘Back The Blue’ gear and donate it to the Islam family. 

Added to the ‘Back The Blue’ design in the aftermath of the mᴀss shooting is Islam’s name and precinct on the right sleeve.   

‘Another tragic story that hits very close to home,’ Portnoy said. ‘Not only is Barstool’s HQ in NYC but this attack occurred in the same office the Brady 4 held our protest.’

‘It’s never good having to do these charity drives but Officer Didarul Islam leaves behind 2 boys and an 8 months pregnant wife. I will personally match all proceeds we make this week and donate directly to the family.’

The cop was killed by Shane Tamura during Monday night’s mᴀss shooting in Manhattan

Tamura, a 27-year-old licensed private investigator from Las Vegas, was identified on Monday

Barstool’s headquarters are located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan in between 28th and 29th Streets alongside Seventh Avenue. 

That’s around 20 blocks and a few avenues west of where the mᴀss shooting took place at 345 Park Avenue. 

Portnoy also mentions the ‘Brady 4’, composed of himself, John Feitelberg, Hank Lockwood, and Paul Gulczynski, who all worked for Barstool in 2015 when they handcuffed themselves together in the lobby of of NFL headquarters to protest the suspension of Tom Brady for Deflategate. 

The quartet were arrested in their Brady jerseys and were in prison overnight and faced criminal trespᴀssing charges. 

Earlier this year, Portnoy put out a video recognizing the 10-year anniversary of the protest, including a clip of him shoving a security guard. 

Authorities have identified Tamura, a 27-year-old licensed private investigator from Las Vegas who once dreamed of a life in football, as the shooter who carried out the ᴅᴇᴀᴅly rampage in the heart of New York City on Monday night.

Tamura walked into the lobby at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan and sprayed a long-form M4 rifle before heading to the offices of Rudin Management on the 33rd floor and continuing the terrifying spree. He then took his own life, police have confirmed.

On Tuesday morning, New York City mayor Eric Adams said Tamura was targeting NFL headquarters but went to the wrong elevator bank as part of the terrible act.
