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 Browns funeral and Eric Garners 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.

Of course.
He has white-liberal-guilt immunity for anything he says or does.
Reality, however, tends to catch up. The NYPD will remember him REAL well. And Comrade Deblasio too...
How many universities are going to postpone finals for students traumatized by NYPD cop murders?
Our city - actually my city - is hurting. I’m hurting. I can’t think of a way to charge the NYPD a hefty fee for me to show up at their funeral services.
They chanted. He stood by, silent, approving.
LOL! Good for them.
FYI This was issued yesturday....
The New York Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, the NYPD’s union, has issued this statement:
Sarting IMMEDIATELY:
At least two units are to respond to EVERY call, no matter the condition or severity, no matter what type of job is pending, or what the opinion of the patrol supervisor happens to be.
IN ADDITION:
Absolutely NO enforcement action in the form of arrests and or summonses is to be taken unless absolutely necessary and an individual MUST be placed under arrest.
These are precautions that were taken in the 1970’s when police officers were ambushed and executed on a regular basis.
The mayors hands are literally dripping with our blood because of his words actions and policies and we have, for the first time in a number of years, become a wartime police department. We will act accordingly.
I thought it was very cool too! LOLOL

Attorney General Holder Statement on Assassination of Two New York City Police Officers in Line of Duty
Attorney General Eric Holder released the following statement Saturday regarding the fatal shootings of two New York City police officers:
I condemn this afternoon’s senseless shooting of two New York City police officers in the strongest possible terms. This was an unspeakable act of barbarism, and I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of these two brave officers in the line of duty.
On behalf of all those who serve in the United States Department of Justice, I want to express my heartfelt condolences to the officers’ loved ones and colleagues. I will make available all of the resources of the Department to aid the NYPD in investigating this tragedy.
“This cowardly attack underscores the dangers that are routinely faced by those who protect and serve their fellow citizens. As a nation we must not forget this as we discuss the events of the recent past. These courageous men and women routinely incur tremendous personal risks, and place their lives on the line each and every day, in order to preserve public safety. We are forever in their debt.
“Our nation must always honor the valor — and the sacrifices — of all law enforcement officers with a steadfast commitment to keeping them safe. This means forging closer bonds between officers and the communities they serve, so that public safety is not a cause that is served by a courageous few, but a promise that’s fulfilled by police officials and citizens working side by side.”
So when all Hell breaks loose in NYC... well, Thank you, Comrade Mayor... and thank you, Democrats...
Great job guys... just stellar...
