The self-radicalized madman who attacked four rookie Queens cops with a hatchet hadmore than just jihad on his mind — he also wanted to kill white people.
“He wanted white people to pay for all that slavery and all that racism,” the father of slain hatchet loon Zale Thompson, 32, told The Post Saturday. “I think he committed suicide — and he was taking one of y’all with him,” his father, Ralph Thompson, said, speaking through the screen door of the two-story Queens Village house where his unhinged son also once lived.

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

A hatchet-swinging psycho turned a busy Queens street corner into a scene of bloody chaos Thursday, chopping one cop in the back of the head and slicing a second cop in the arm before two other officers shot him dead on the spot.
The cop struck in the head is in serious condition at Jamaica Hospital, where the second injured officer was also rushed — conscious and alert, according to police sources.
A 29-year-old homeless woman who happened to be passing by the madness was also struck by a stray police bullet; her injury was deemed life threatening, according to police sources.
[. . .]
The violence began at 2 p.m., when four cops tried to break up a shouting dispute between the yet-named psycho and a woman at the corner of Jamaica Avenue and 160th Street.
“The cops yelled ‘Drop it!’” said rattled eyewitness Larry Bethune, 44, of Hollis, Queens, recalling the moment the psycho pulled a small hatchet from his jacket.
“And he lunged at one of them,” the witness remembered. “He raised his arm up high and brought it straight down on the cop’s head.
“The cop went down to the ground, face first. It was horrible. I’ve never seen anything like that on Jamaica Avenue,” he added. “The cop’s just lying there with blood pouring down his face. He didn’t move.”
