Protest leaders seek to distance budding movement from New York police killings
The Washington Post ^ | December 21, 2014 | Wesley Lowery

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

The ambush killing of two New York police officers on Saturday has forced a burgeoning protest movement against police violence to address accusations that it bears some responsibility for violence carried out in the name of that cause.

Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were fatally shot Saturday as they sat in their patrol car in a Brooklyn neighborhood. The suspect, 28-year-old Ismaaiyl Brinsley, is thought to have posted threats against police on social media before shooting his ex-girlfriend in Baltimore and then traveling to New York to target the officers. He killed himself moments after attacking the officers.

Police officials in New York and elsewhere were quick to lay at least partial blame for the officers’ killings on ongoing protests of several high-profile shootings and killings of unarmed black men this year...

You mean a movement built on “Kill da cops!”? That movement? Good luck distancing yourself from the monster you schweinhunde created.

I'd say with all the cheering and clapping that it should be damned hard for these snakes to slither out from under this association, but I've seen worse.

Cheering cops getting killed ;( SMH. Cops need to go on vaca for a few days then pick up the pieces afterwards.

It’s too late. You light a match to gasoline, you’re guilty of starting a fire. Prosecute Sharpton and Farakhan. And go for Holder, too.

De Blasio, Sharpton, Obama, and Holder, and all the protesting filthy vermin are all murderers. Try and hang them all.

Can’t wash this blood off

Thy are guilty of inciting riot - all of them

Race Baiting has been a lucrative business for these ignorant, evil people for 200 years - as expertly outlined by a black man - 200 years ago.

Keep posting these links and email to everyone you know - get people to THINK
And lets demand that these race baiters are prosecuted! (Even Sharpton and Holder KNOW they are guilty - LEGALLY - ans so quickly jumped out to condemn this double murder. Too late to wash the blood off - (another thing against them - this dumb black murdered, not WHITE cops, but a Hispanic and an Asian!)

Sharpton can’t distance himself from something he is directly linked to and something he caused. Al Sharpton is a Left Wing Radical Terrorist

I've seen worse.

In the 1970s nearly 40 cops were killed execution style in a two year period in NY.

Obama, Sharpton, the protesters including the communists within that have been agitating.

To be fair to all lefties reading these posts, had this been George Bush saying the anti-police and racially inflammatory statements that Obama had I would have blamed a Bush or other President as well.

It is about what comes out of their mouths, not their party affiliation.

Let’s see..they have a protest march in Brooklyn screaming “What do we want dead cops, when do we want it, now” and a few days later you have two dead cops in Brooklyn..but hey, there is NO connection to that..but when Sarah Palin puts a little red dot on a map and a few people get shot days later, the media calls Sarah Palin a murderer..gotta love liberal hypocrisy

protest movement against police violence

What kind of violence are they referring to? Violence of a cop defending himself after a punk ass thug tries to take his gun? Violence of a obese man with a heart condition having a heart attack while being arrested on orders from liberal politicians for selling a cigarette?

Sharpton is such a coward he immediately hid behind the parents of Garner and Wilson.

Typical of their leader, Zero. They want it both ways. They want to call for murder but then not be lamed for it when it happens.
