Those blaming President Obama, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio or protesters for the shooting deaths of two New York City police officers Saturday are "demagoguing the issues" and doing the nation a disservice, Rep. Barbara Lee said Tuesday.
"As someone who supports nonviolence and gun safety and gun control and peaceful resolutions in Congress, I don't think there's any way any of us in the protest movement, in the progressive movement, would condone that" kind of violence, said Lee, D-Oakland, whose own East Bay district has seen clashes between protesters and police in recent weeks.
Everyone should mourn for victims of violence including the slain officers, she said, but protesters should continue calling attention to instances of misconduct.
As with changes that followed the civil rights movement, she said, "it's not going to come from within, it's not going to come from (former New York Mayor Rudy) Giuliani and all the powers that be that believe all is well in America.

The end game for the Democrat elitists is gun control.
Hypocrisy has a new name.
As long as barbarians walk the streets the problem will continue. Why do barbarians walk the streets? Ask Cloward and Piven! The system is broken on purpose folks, and the politicians who broke it aren’t gonna fix it, they live to exploit it!
So what do they mean when they shout, “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!”
It's a very sophisticated scam, similar to a protection racket.
The irony in this case is that gun control is the end game for the law enforcement industry, too.
This Marxist doesn’t “think” anyone in her movement would condone murdering cops. Sounds like she’s not sure herself?
Pray America is waking
The take away quote: Barbara Lee, “I don’t think.”
Barbara Lee:
How dare they demagogue our demagogery!
