Mob-Rule Defies New York Mayor Call for Peace

By Douglas V. Gibbs

"The Man" is no longer something muttered under the breath of the black community, but a target of demonstrators that often resort to violence.  In a massive cry of victimhood, over a thousand activists generalizing all cops as murderers marched down Fifth Avenue and the Upper East Side, working to shut down the area, despite Mayor Bill de Blasio calling for the demonstrators to end their protest activities following the slaying of two Brooklyn police officers.

The mayor was often the target of verbal assaults, as the group moved through New York City with the eventual plan to be a protest at a local precinct in East Harlem - almost as if they are daring the police to crack down, and increase patrols.

Many of the protesters said the demonstrations were in direct defiance of the mayor's call for calm, claiming the city asked for a moment of silence for the slain police officers, but not Garner, a black man who died after police used a choke hold on him.

The crowd called police "murderers," and compared the NYPD to the KKK, asking "how many kids did you kill today?  Demonstrators also blasted de Blasio's call for calm, accusing him of wanting to “chill the expression of free speech rights.”

The Brooklyn police officers killed Saturday by a Muslim man were executed, according to the killer, for revenge over the deaths of Michael Brown in Missouri, and the Staten Island man, Eric Garner.
