TYT: Obviously, “Jihad On Cops” To Be Blamed On ‘PigSharpton’ & deBlasio



“Actor James Woods appears to have gone full crackpot on Twitter this morning, blaming the shooting deaths of two NYPD officers on Al Sharpton and Mayor Bill deBlasio. The series of tweets are from his verified Twitter account @RealJamesWoods.

The 67-year-old Ghost of Mississippi actor has called on police officers to turn their backs on the mayor and “PigSharpton” with the hashtag #BlueLivesMatter #TurnYourBacks on #RaceHucksters.” *

Wow, you learn something new every day. I didn't know until now I should be ignoring James Woods' projects since he has decided to show his ass in public.

I hope his pathetic and sniveling whining doesn't escape the writers of "Family Guy".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woods

Woods was a vocal supporter of former U.S. President George W. Bush and the Iraq War, though—as of 2003—he was still a registered Democrat. He is a supporter of former Mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani. Woods lobbied hard to play Giuliani in the biopic Rudy: The Rudy Giuliani Story, and considers the role one of the favorites of his career. In 2008, Woods appeared in David Zucker's comedy An American Carol (presented from a conservative-leaning perspective), along with active Republican actors Kelsey Grammer and Kevin Farley. Woods's name was in an advertisement in the Los Angeles Times (August 17, 2006) that condemned Hamas and Hezbollah and supported Israel in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict. Woods endorsed John McCain and Mitt Romney for President in 2008 and 2012, respectively.

I guess I had just been ignoring anything James Woods that I missed his idiocy. He and Dennis Miller should team up for a moron-fest.

Lets blame the Activist, protester, those who would call for cool heads. Never, NEVER blame trigger happy race hating guys who run around in Blue Magic suits who can't wait to beat, strangle, or shoot any one in their site who remotely puts them in fear for their lives like 12 year old girls and dogs. The police started out as a method to chase down runaway slaves, put down protest, and keep the common folk in their place. they haven't progressed much from their.

And as usual Ana hit the nail on the head. The issue has devolved to just the extremists. But, in all fairness, it's seems to me that only one side has the extremists that are making a fix to this problem, unattainable. One side is calling for social justice and an end to police brutality and accountability when the police commit crimes, like murder; and the other side is saying 'no' to any changes and has the position that any criticism is too much.

If there are extremists within the protesters ranks, they are too small a percentage to matter, and no one is listening to them.

On edit: Wayne Rogers has also turned into quite the prick.
