Actor James Woods took to Twitter on Sunday to blame the Rev. Al Sharpton, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio and President Obama for being ‘responsible’ for the murder of two NYPD officers on Saturday.
Sharpton came in for the worst of Woods’ abuse, with the former Academy Award nominee calling him a ‘race pimp’ and a ‘disgusting pig’.
At one point on Sunday morning Woods’ tweeted: ‘This disgusting pig is DIRECTLY responsible for the murder of two good policemen. No discussion’.
The tweet included a photo of Sharpton at a protest against police.
Woods later took down that post, reports Daily Caller, but he continued tweeting using a series of hashtags including ‘#PigSharpton’, ‘#RaceHucksters’, ‘#TurnYourBack’, ‘#BlueLivesMatter’
Woods, 67, even called for a boycott of Sony Entertainment – after executives from the company recently promised to work with Sharpton after leaked emails featured racist comments.
The president also came in for criticism including a tweet that featured a photo of Sharpton and Obama and the text ‘mission accomplished’.
Woods also applauded the NYPD officers who turned their backs on Mayor de Blasio during his press conference following Saturday’s shootings.

This isn’t the first time Woods has used Twitter to express his political views.
Last year he called President Obama ‘a true abomination’ and then tweeted that he didn’t think he would work again because of his opinions.
‘I don’t expect to work again. I think Barack Obama is a threat to the integrity and future of the Republic. My country first,’ he wrote in response.
The Rev. Al Sharpton said Eric Garner’s family has no connection to a man who murdered two New York City cops in an apparent retribution killing as he revealed at a Sunday press conference threats made on his life in racist profanity-laced voicemail.
He also said there is no place for angry rhetoric that blames protesters or New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.
‘We are now under intense threat from those who are misguided,’ he said. ‘From those who are trying to blame everyone from civil rights leaders to the mayor rather than deal with an ugly spirit that all of us need to fight.’
In one tweet, Woods accused Sharpton of being ‘DIRECTLY responsible for the murder of two good policemen. No discussion’, although he later deleted it

Sharpton told The Associated Press that he’s considering tightening his personal security after receiving nine messages threatening him — all within hours of the shooting.
He then clicked on his cellphone and played one message in which the male caller used the N-word to address the preacher, followed by a stream of four-letter words used to describe protest actions Sharpton has led against police-involved deaths of unarmed blacks.
‘The language is “Hey N word, stop killing innocent people, I’m going to get you,” and I have several like this,’ he said, according to silive.com. ‘We are now under intense threat from those that are misguided, by those that are trying to blame everyone from civil rights leaders to the mayor rather than deal with an ugly spirit that all of us need to fight.’
Sharpton continued: ‘There are those of us committed to nonviolence and making the system work.
‘And there are those committed to anarchy and recklessness who could care less about the families of police or the families who have raised questions about police accountability.’
He was joined at the National Action Network by the wife and mother or Eric Garner, who both advocated non-violence.

Al Sharpton holds up his phone after saying he received threatening voice mail messages as he is joined by Esaw Garner, Eric Garner’s widow, during a press conference denouncing the shooting deaths of two New York Police Department officers at the National Action Network on Sunday
Brown’s family condemned the shooting in a statement posted online by their attorney.
‘We reject any kind of violence directed toward members of law enforcement. It cannot be tolerated. We must work together to bring peace to our communities,’ the family said.
Garner, who was black, died after he was taken down by a white officer during an arrest on suspicion of selling loose cigarettes. The 18-year-old Brown, who was black, was fatally shot by a white officer. He was unarmed.
Most of the protests have been peaceful, particularly in New York. Bratton said police were investigating whether Brinsley had attended any rallies or demonstrations and why he had chosen to kill the officers.
De Blasio said the killings of Ramos and Liu strike at the heart of the city.
‘Our city is in mourning. Our hearts are heavy,’ said de Blasio, who spoke softly with moist eyes. ‘It is an attack on all of us.’
Scores of officers in uniform lined up three rows deep at the hospital driveway. The line stretched into the street. Officers raised their hands in a silent salute as two ambulances bore away the slain officers’ bodies. The mayor ordered flags at half-staff.

In a statement Saturday night, Attorney General Eric Holder condemned the shooting deaths as senseless and ‘an unspeakable act of barbarism.’ Obama, vacationing in Hawaii, issued a statement saying he unconditionally condemns the slayings.
‘The officers who serve and protect our communities risk their own safety for ours every single day — and they deserve our respect and gratitude every single day,’ Obama said. ‘Tonight, I ask people to reject violence and words that harm, and turn to words that heal — prayer, patient dialogue, and sympathy for the friends and family of the fallen.’
The shootings ended a bizarre route for Brinsley that began in Maryland early Saturday. He went to the home of a former girlfriend in a Baltimore suburb and shot and wounded her. Police there said they noticed Brinsley posting from the woman’s Instagram account threats to kill New York officers.
Baltimore-area officials sent a warning to New York City police, who received it moments too late, Bratton said.
Officers pursued Brinsley after the shooting to a nearby subway station, where he shot himself in the head as a subway train door full of people closed. A silver handgun was recovered at the scene, Bratton said.

If this would have happened 30 years ago, I would have called it a unjustified act of violence and completely evil. Although shooting cops is probably not the answer, it is only going to make things much worse. Something needs to be done about the militarization of the police and much of the behavior that goes with it. Choking people, tazing pregnant women, shooting a12 year old with toy gun and of course, throwing flash/bangs into babies cribs.
People who have nothing to lose will do some crazy shit. As more and more people have nothing to lose and cops become even more abusive (which I am sure will happen after this event) Thing will only escalate. We need cooler heads to prevail and discuss all facets of this issue. No cop deserves to be attacked like this, but that answer is not for the cops to become more punitive. Unfortunately, I don’t think that will happen. Things are only going to get worse in the Shities. Best to completely avoid them and the police. You chances of “suicide by cop” have just risen dramatically.
It’s a War Now! The Cops will become more militarized, money will pour into their budgets for military equipment.

The calls made to Al “Poverty Pimp” Sharpton threatening him were made by Tawana Bryley
James Woods has an IQ of 180. Sharpton has the IQ of a turnip. Go figure.
While I am personally color blind and judge people the way Martin Luther King said to do it (look it up), I sadly have concluded long ago that Sharpton is a whore, selling his face and worthless opinions to anyone who gives him a photo-op.
In fact you never see or hear of him at anything except a photo-op.
When he begins to preach against three black men dragging a white woman from here car, beating and raping her while her children are in the car —- then I might give him a second look. Until such time as he starts trying to teach his own people to behave, I have no use for him.

It’s probably true that Blacks suffer violent encounters with the Police more than any other ethnicity, per capita. It’s probably true they commit more violent crimes than any other ethnicity, per capita. That said this doesn’t appear to be about race or ethnicity.
Whatever it is about, it certainly was maximum chickenshit; sneaking up and smoking some LE enjoying their doughnuts, then running and checking out.
If its worth your life to make a point about, should probably do it face to face, like a real person, just sayin. No one respects shit like that.
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
Funny how one of the only black men preaching family, morality and unity was taken out RIGHT before all this went down. As if on plan Mr. Cosby was silenced.
Now this.
We are being set up, and set up hard. Sadly, Mr. Woods is allowing his feelings to help this go down.
The cops, chemical companies and pharmaceutical companies are KILLING us.
Arguing about “why” somebody has enough terror and strikes back is a moot point.
We really need to ask ourselves WHY we are being set up to form a race war?
But we won’t.
Currency collapse, martial law, race war, destruction of our heartland and soon those of us left shipped off to live a fake life, in a fake world, with fake food and real want, disease and desperation.
Success, for some, I guess.
@TE: Interesting point of view, being “set up” I mean.
I don’t know and therefore reserve judgement of Bill Cosby. One can always say that “Where there is so much smoke, there has to be a fire.”, but in this case, it sure looks like a case of mass hysteria or mass-something. Absolutely no physical (or any other kind of) evidence except “she said, and she said and she said”…
The whole thing make my gut quiver with the l-o-n-g wait before anyone said something. That’s not natural, nor is it particularly reassuring that new accusations seem to be popping up one at at a time, just timed out to bring it up in the news cycle yet again. If we went a month without a new “victim”, it would fade away in the public memory like morning fog in the Fall.
He has done a massive amount of good throughout his life to have it trampled on so viscously at the end of it. For what purpose? Like you said, perhaps someone is trying to tear down what is one of the black races’ best representative. I just don’t know – but I’ll aways think of him as a good guy, no matter what.

I was not referring to James Woods, it should be perfectly obvious the verses apply to that cock sucking, race baiting, ambulance chasing, media whoring, lying sack of shit Sharpton.
Now, who the fuck gave me thumbs down?
Whassa matta? You guys no like Mayor de BASTARDio?
Stoopit. You can’t get rid of police brutality by shooting cops. It only gives reason to further militarizing police.
WTFU.
