My husband should have killed every police officer at the scene.
The wife of a Jersey City cop killer — in a twisted, maniacal rant — said that if the thug had to die, then he should have taken as many cops to the grave with him as possible.
“That’s how I feel. God forgive me, but that’s how I feel,” Angelique Campbell, 28, fumed to a local television station. “If they was going to stand over my husband and shoot him like a f------ dog, he should’ve took all of them the f--- out,” she railed.
The lunatic’s husband, Lawrence Campbell, ambushed rookie cop Melvin Santiago around 4 a.m. Sunday outside a 24-hour Walgreens store in Jersey City. Campbell shot Santiago, 23, in the head — killing him instantly. The deranged gunman, who minutes before the shooting told a witness to watch the news because he was “going to be famous,” was later killed in a hail of police bullets.
Angelique Campbell, widow of Lawrence Campbell, said her husband was killed 'like a f---ing dog.'

In an interview with the Daily News, Angelique Campbell tried to walk back her vile comments, which were delivered to News 12 New Jersey. “I apologize for his actions,” she said, offering condolences to Santiago’s family. She said her husband had a substance abuse problem.
The apology rang hollow to Santiago’s stepdad, Alex McBride. “He should have killed more?” he asked. “Come on, is she serious?”
McBride, 50, partly blamed a Walgreens security guard, whom Campbell blindsided to steal his gun — the murder weapon — after talking him up about a newborn-baby greeting card he pretended to be buying. “I think he’s an idiot,” the stepdad said of guard Pierre Monsanto, 58. “How are you going to let someone come into your store, beat you up and take your gun?”
Officer Melvin Santiago, 23, had only been on the force for seven months when he was fatally shot Sunday.

McBride was equally furious about a memorial set up on Orient Ave. that paid tribute not to the baby-faced cop, but to his killer.
“He’s not a hero,” McBride said of the killer, later calling him a “piece of s---.”
The makeshift memorial for Campbell — located about two blocks from his home — featured two dozen candles, balloons and empty liquor bottles. There were big white T-shirts taped to a wall with messages scrawled in black marker. “Thug in peace,” read one tribute.

A group of children walked by the memorial on Monday, unaware that it was erected for a killer. McBride saw the memorial for himself. “They’re so f------ ignorant, they don’t even know,” he said of the people who put the memorial together. “They aren’t thinking.”
Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop also slammed the tribute to Campbell. “There are people in every single community who just don’t value life, and this is highlighted by a situation like this,” Fulop told The Associated Press.
Around 8:30 p.m. Monday, an aggressive show of cops and the rain dispersed a crowd at the memorial. Someone took the T-shirts down, but they were later returned to the wall by the killer’s sister, Lavana Campbell, 30, and brother, Lamar Campbell, 33.

Lawrence Campbell, 27, (left) and Daniel Wilson, 23, were both linked to a previous homicide. Campbell apparently killed a Jersey City police officer on Sunday in order to be 'famous.'
“I’m sorry about the cop, but I just lost a little brother,” the sister said.
Meanwhile, Santiago’s partner, Ismael Martinez, who was with the young cop during the shooting, spoke glowingly of the slain rookie. “He was a young, eager kid and enjoyed being a police officer,” he told The News.
A wake will be held for Santiago from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday at McLaughlin Funeral Home, 625 Pavonia Ave., Jersey City. A Mass of Christian Burial will be said at 11 a.m. Friday at St. Aloysius Church in Jersey City.
