Holy shit! Are these folks mad - former New York cop Harry whoever blaming protests [View all]

for two cops ambushed and killed in Brooklyn in their car - shot in the head. Al Sharpton got what he wanted says this moron - misinformation overload on steroids on CNN. Perpetrator killed himself - was wanted in Baltimore.
Even CNN had to say they had no such official connection.

He is blaming everyone and says the mayor should stay away.
