Civil rights leaders Sunday condemned the ambush killings of two New York police officers and expressed fear that the backlash over the bloodshed could derail the protest movement that has grown out of the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

In the raw hours following the killing of the officers, police union officials and politicians accused those who have protested the deaths of Garner and Brown of fanning anti-police fervor. Patrick Lynch, president of the Patrolman's Benevolent Association in New York, said there was "blood on the hands" of demonstrators and elected officials who have criticized police tactics.

The Garner and Brown families issued statements repudiating the officers' killings, while civil rights leaders took to the airwaves to try to put some distance between the movement and the crime.

"To link the criminal insanity of a lone gunman to the peaceful protests and aspirations of many people across the country, including the attorney general, the mayor and even the president, is simply not fair," NAACP President Cornell William Brooks said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

Brooks said the shootings were "certainly not a step forward" for the movement.

The Drivel Riots community says they're being unfairly partrayed, being painted with a broad brush. ALL TOGETHER NOW, AWWWWW!

Maybe they'll think twice next time they knee-jerkedly portray all TEA Partiers as racists? Unless you all look good in blue, don't hold your breath.

Yeah. I’ve had about enough of the racists. If Michael brown had been at home doing his homework he’d still be alive. I have no more patience for thugs.

but linking said insanity to lawful gun owners and gun control is???

[JohnBrowdie]

the purveyors of racial hatred, aka “civil rights leaders”, killed those two men just as surely as if they had pulled the trigger themselves.

What did they want? Dead cops. When did they get them? Last night.

Triggers backlash, eh? Probably against the police. That’s where we are in America these days.

“Peaceful protests”? What part of “Burn this bitch down!” is “peaceful”? Blood on their hands.

Waiting to see whether the media embraces the same approach they used in 2011 to blame the Tucson shooting on the right.— John Sexton (@verumserum) December 21, 2014

Liberals say it’s ridiculous to suggest that their anti-cop rhetoric had anything to do with the murder of two New York police officers yesterday. But three years ago, liberals and their allies in the MSM had a very different take on the effects of political rhetoric on violence, as Breitbart.com columnist John Sexton notes.

There is no backlash. This reaction is the proper reaction to PC and idiocy that has been hoisted upon the citizens of the US by a racist DOJ, President and professional race baiters. The killings of Brown and Martin will be looked at in a normal perspective and called out for what they really were and the passes given to the blacks killing whites at a high rate will hopefully stop.

Unfortunately, the attorney general, the mayor and even the president are traitors who want to overthrow America. They worked on it in their youth, and are working on it now.

Everything is going according to the Plan.

If the media acknowledges this (calling it) a backlash, they're admitting the same race trash started it in the first place.
