AL SHARPTON LEADS MARCH IN DC AS NYC PROTESTERS CHANT: 'WHAT DO WE WANT? DEAD COPS!'

[Geee]

Breitbart:

Joining the families of blacks killed by police, thousands marched toward the capitol and down New York streets on Saturday to protest what they called an epidemic of abuse at the hands of police.

But even though it was his event, many attendees didn't want to hear from organizer Al Sharpton.

The march, organized by Sharpton's National Action Network, once again chanted the oft-heard slogan, "No Justice, No Peace" with marchers demanding that federal laws be enacted to curb local and state police agencies use of force rules.

In an op-ed published on December 8, Sharpton noted that the "march against police violence" was needed to force Congress to "immediately start hearings to deal with laws that will change the jurisdiction threshold for federal cases and policing."

Once the thousands of marchers reached the grounds outside the Capitol, Sharpton warned Congress that he and his supporters would not be ignored.

“You thought you'd sweep it under the rug. You thought there'd be no limelight," Sharpton said. "We are going to keep the light on Michael Brown, on Eric Garner, on Tamir Rice, on all of these victims because the only way -- I'm sorry, I come out of the 'hood -- the only way you make roaches run, you got to cut the light on."

Rev. Al Sharpton calls for peace and reveals he's received death threats 'This is not about taking things into our own hands,' Sharpton told reporters in Harlem. 'That doesn’t solve the problem of police misconduct.'

BY SABRINA CASERTA , REUVEN BLAU Sunday, December 21, 2014, 12:55 PM NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

The Rev. Al Sharpton called for peace Sunday — and revealed he has received death threats from people blaming him and Mayor de Blasio for thekilling of two police officers.

“This is a pursuit of justice to make the system work fairly for everyone,” Sharpton told reporters gathered at the Harlem headquarters of the National Action Network. “This is not about taking things into our own hands. That doesn’t solve the problem of police misconduct.”

Sharpton also played a voicemail threat left on his cell phone.

Poor Al. I suppose he'd like police protection.

Gangbangers Unbound

By J.R. Dunn

Rafael Ramos and Wenjin Liu died because of the campaign to vilify police. Even as the events of Ferguson begin to fade, the campaign it helped engender rolls on, with new reports of demonstrations and protests appearing almost daily. Last week Carol Jackson, a federal judge, restricted police tactics against protestors. (This is kind of odd in and of itself. The last thing people want to hear about during the holidays

is some hood getting his comeuppance. The same can be said about Sen. Feinstein’s “torture report” -- waterboarding is not likely to play well during the sleigh bell season. Is the left beginning to lose its customary excellent timing?)

 

What remains to be said -- and what has been widely overlooked -- is what lies behind this campaign, what exact role Ferguson -- and Staten Island, and Cleveland, all the way back to Sanford, Florida -- play in the agenda of the American left.

Only One Side in American Politics Is Ready for Guilt-By-Association Accusations

 

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

New York congressman Charlie Rangel refused to believe protesters in his own city chanted support for cop-killers, prompting an incredulous CNN host to prove the Democratic lawmaker wrong.

Do you remember seeing a picture of a banner at an anti-war protest saying “We support our troops when they shoot their officers”? If you were reading conservative blogs or alternative media back in the Iraq War days, I’ll bet you saw it. In our world, it was a big deal. It revealed a conservative’s worst suspicions about the anti-war Left, that they didn’t really support the troops at all, and that they yearned to see American soldiers shooting other American soldiers.

 

This bit of knee-jerk denial always stuck with me:

Garofalo responded by calling into question whether the sign in fact existed and had been part of the event.

 

“That one guy that had that one sign – that you’ll probably beat into the ground,” she said. “You’re going to use it over and over whether it actually existed or not. That’s what all you right-wing radio hosts do. You make s— up all the time.”

 

 

(Snip)

 

When you’re a conservative, you know that any nut job claiming to act in the name of a cause you support – from opposing government overreach to opposition to abortion – you’ll have that figure thrown at you for the rest of time. Never mind that you’re the kind of law-abiding citizen who always uses turn signals and doesn’t remove the mattress tag; the very fact that you disagree with a liberal is a signal that you’re a dangerous extremist at heart. Liberals clearly are unprepared for this, and thus are stunned when they face the guilt-by-association charge that their rhetoric denouncing big corporations, the military, police, and so on could fuel the fires of violent anti-World Bank protests, violent Occupy protests, and so on.

Sharpton says no to holding off protests until after police officers funerals

Jazz Shaw

I was somewhat encouraged this week when New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called for a pause in the protests and quiet on the streets until after the funerals of the two slain NYPD officers. It seemed a prudent move, giving everyone a chance to pause and reflect, to allow tensions to ease a bit and just maybe allow everyone to retire with their families for Christmas. The horrific tragedy of the police officers assassinations might have a chance to settle in and bring everyone to a more sober realization of the need to bring the social temperatures down a notch. It was a responsible decision on the Mayors part and I commend him for it.

 

Of course, Al Sharpton was having none of this namby pamby nonsense.

 

 

 

Rev. Al Sharpton told Reuters late Monday that de Blasios request was too ill-defined to heed.

 

Is a vigil a protest? Is a rally? Sharpton asked.

 

Another group, The Answer Coalition, said it would go ahead with a long-planned march Tuesday evening, and denounced the mayor for what it called an outrageous attempt to chill free speech. The New York Post reported that a few dozen protesters staged a die-in at Grand Central Terminal before marching toward Times Square.

 

We will not let recent tragic moments derail this movement, one protester shouted. This is the revolution and we will not be repressed.

What the Police Provide

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN • December 23, 2014, 12:05 AM

 

“NYPD, KKK, How many kids did you kill today?”

 

That was one of the chants of anti-police protesters in New York City. Another was, “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want them? Now!”

 

Well, the marchers got their wish Saturday in Bedford-Stuyvesant when Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28, firing into a patrol car, murdered NYPD officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu. The two were executed by this criminal who had just shot his girlfriend outside Baltimore and used social media to say he was going to Brooklyn to take revenge for Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

 

“There’s blood on many hands tonight,” said Patrick Lynch of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, http://www.theamericanconservative.com/buchanan/what-the-police-provide/

A Reasonable Place to Address Some Unnecessary Police Shootings

 

Robert C. J. Parry /December 28, 2015 / 24 COMMENTS

 

With Monday’s ruling from a Cleveland grand jury not to indict the officer who shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice, the nation’s rift over police use-of-force was again torn open. While I absolutely believe the grand jury made the right decision in the case of the officer who fired – you can’t ask police officers to investigate armed people and not protect themselves when someone reaches for a gun (or a replica) – the Rice case provides an opportunity for cool heads to find a solution to some preventable deaths.

 

Of the many shootings of police officers in recent years that have generated controversy, four stand out because of a unique commonality – grossly inaccurate information being relayed to police officers. https://ricochet.com/reasonable-place-address-unnecessary-police-shootings/
