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.

What an a$$ that speaks out of both sides of his mouth! Just a few days ago he was leading the protest where they were chanting about wanting dead cops. He, DeBlasio, Obama, Holder and Jesse Jackson, among others, bear the responsibility for the deaths of these police officers.

Go away, Al, and take Obama and De Blasio with you.

The most disgusting, opportunistic race baiters in the universe, all of them with blood on their hands.

Need races of those involved to determine culpability.
Is this satire? Because it reads like satire. ....

Al and the Shooter are both Black, Militants and both Left Wing radicals. So do the math.

The only reason that man is still alive is because not even the Devil wants his company.

Never mind that his hand has been on the paddle that’s stirring up this rancor. I know all about “Getting out in front of a story”, but this takes the cake.

In a non-bizzaro world, MSNBC would already have fired AL Sharpton a long time before this. I doubt if they budge now, they feel there is no professional risk, and besides, he’s good for ratings.

Why on earth would he call THEM?? To celebrate? That would be right up his alley.

This is exactly how Trayvon and Michael were killed, so I don’t know what all the whining is about.

This is kind of comical in a sad way. The race baiters are switching directions. Holder said tonight he has been holding meetings on how to develop trust between police and the community. Now Sharpton has been going out of his way to promote peaceful protests. Liars both.
