At Demonstrations, a Change in Tone After Officers Are Killed

For weeks after a Staten Island grand jury declined to indict a white police officer in the chokehold death of a black man, civil rights rallies in New York City had gathered momentum and spurred dialogue among activists and city officials.

But the conversation, in one shocking instant on Saturday, took an unexpected turn.

One day after two police officers were fatally shot at point-blank range as they sat in their squad car in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, leaders of several groups who had been rallying for criminal justice reform scrambled to condemn the killings while still keeping the push for police reform alive.

Justice League NYC, an organization that had met with Mayor Bill de Blasio on Friday, held a march as planned on Sunday night. But after the killings, the route was redirected to end at First Corinthian Baptist Church in Harlem for a service of healing to remember all victims of violence — including police officers. “An act of violence is against humanity,” Carmen Perez, a co-founder of Justice League NYC, said in a telephone interview. The group is an organization of criminal justice advocates that has planned several of the recent protests. “It’s not mutually exclusive. We can mourn Eric Garner and the two officers. It’s O.K. to do that.”

On Sunday, it was too early to predict how the killings would affect future protests. But that night, the march in Harlem, attended by more than 200, was subdued.

Instead of chanting Mr. Garner’s last words, “I can’t breathe,” participants held candles as they walked and sang the children’s gospel song “This Little Light of Mine.”

The brutal murder of these two police officers has broken up their four month race riot, and the "civil rights leaders" are not happy. This murder is spoiling their "fun."

Eric Holder, DeBlasio, Barry Soetoro-Hussein-Obama, Sharpton, "the reverend" Jackson, Sheila Jackson Lee, and the rest really DO have blood on their hands, and even the Presstitutes cannot avoid this truth.

It is much more satisfying for the Ferguson/NYC/etc. mobs to murder, rape, burn down, steal, shout, stamp their feet, assault, rob, and act self-righteously.

Attempting to sound respectful and responsible in the wake of this murder is just a drag. This was more fun for them: "What Do We Want! DEAD COPS! When Do We Want It? NOW!!!!"

Despite Trillions spent on the War on Poverty, despite affirmative action in schools, jobs, and universities, despite "civil rights" laws and "hate crime" laws, despite decades of propaganda taught in the schools and spewed by Hollywood, despite the overwhelming crime statistics that demonstrate black on white crime is an epidemic compared to white on black crime, despite years of one-sided lecturing by the "black leaders" and media in the "conversation on race" - the truth cannot be suppressed.

"What Do We Want! DEAD COPS! When Do We Want It? NOW!!!!"

That chant needs to be under every black ad and article.

They own the phrase. They own the murders. These and all murders that shall come.

Yup.

Hey, Progressive Idiots! Try saying “I can’t breathe.” while just putting slight pressure on your windpipe. You can’t do it even once, much less 11 times. But you guys are too effing stupid to realize this. Th only people dumber than you are all those Stupid American Voters, who voted for the leaders you support.

And spending tens and tens of TRILLIONS of Dollars on “The War on Poverty” was a WASTE of money. We as a Nation have nothing to show for it. I want my damn money back!

De Blasio goes AWOL, avoids families of executed cops

[Chgogal]

Liberal blacks, patrol your own damn streets at your own damn expense and leave us the hell alone.

The "Great Experiment" of feeding Trillions and granting favored laws to "aggrieved" groups has failed.

Officers were killed because of BLACK VIOLENCE!

Those who are on that stage were backing Thugs who were Black criminals
which got those officers killed, cold blooded murder.

Criminal Blacks who confront the law with violence deserve what they get
including a bullet between the eyes. I will not say Whites also because this BS
issue isn't about Whites, this is about feral Blacks in our society who are
praised for being Nobody and praised only for their skin color, then praised
again for being a damn criminal and not held responsible. What a crock.

They wanted a Race war against the police. Ok, go for it and they'll lose.

IIRC, Jessuh Jaxonnnnn hasn’t made his presence known, even for St. Michael the Gentle Giant.

Maybe his political sense is better than even 0bamao’s.

My blood pressure goes up at least 15 points every time they say choke hold. More like a head lock! Blooming idiots. We are surrounded by them!

[bray]

There was no chokehold as opposed to what the Marxist Media is reporting. The Slimes has blood on their hands too.

Pray America is waking

[Chgogal]

Turn off the TV and shut down your lap top and don't read the news papers. That damn description is everywhere! The Media Outlets are trying to kill you! ; )

Seriously, that phrase is infuriating. I am in total agreement with you.
