Sharpton: Our city is hurting from the vicious murder of two NYPD officers
NYDN ^ | December 20, 2014 | REV. AL SHARPTON

Posted on 12/20/2014 8:40:44 PM PST by maggief

Our city is hurting, we are hurting. Today we mourn the loss of two NYPD officers who were gunned down in a vicious act of senseless violence.

As soon as news broke of the tragedy in Brooklyn, I spoke with both the families of Eric Garner and Michael Brown. And let me be perfectly clear, we are all outraged and saddened by the deaths of these police officers. Any use of the names of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, in connection with any violence or killing of police, is reprehensible and against the pursuit of justice in both cases.

At every rally and every march, we have stressed nonviolence and peaceful protests.

I delivered the eulogy at Michael Brown’s funeral and Eric Garner’s funeral and denounced anyone engaging in violence. We have even been criticized at National Action Network, NAN, for not allowing certain rhetoric/chants calling for violence, and we would abruptly denounce it at all of our gatherings. Violence never has and never will have a place in the true fight for equality and justice.

The Sony executive ring-kissing of Sharpton is even more disgusting.

Neil Cavuto was more to the point on his Fox show a days ago. He referred to this event as ring and butt kissing.

This is exactly what Sharpton, Holder, Obama and DiBlasio wanted to happen! They made it happen!

Patrick Lynch, head of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association that is the country’s largest municipal police union, said, “There’s blood on many hands tonight.”

“Those that incited violence on the street under the guise of protest, that tried to tear down what New York City police officers did every day,” ....Lynch told a news conference. “That blood on the hands ‘starts on the steps of City Hall in the office of the mayor.”

Al is trying to cover his ass.


He & the rest of his race-baiting friends in high office should be arrested. As far as I’m concerned he & the others have these police officers’ blood on their hands.

Quite frankly, I hope that America’s Voice of Hate dies of larynx cancer.

I was trying to come up with a real solution to the race problem. Honestly, the only thing I could think of was that there should be no more special consideration for any race. Everyone abides by the same laws. No handouts unless you are actually disabled and cannot care for yourself.

If you’re not happy to stay in America under the rules of the constitution, apply for a one-way plane ticket to the country of your choice, the government will pick up the tab (which will save on your lifelong welfare cheques)and you’re free to go, never to return. Like it or leave it.

Tell that to the owners of the 27 businesses burned to the ground on Ferguson. Or to Yankel Rosenbaum. Or to the 7 victims at Freddie's Fashion Mart. This bastard should have spent the last 20 years in prison.
