Kerik: Sharpton Brewed Ferguson Storm That Got Cops Shot

Al Sharpton and other so-called civil rights leaders incited the climate that led to two cops being shot in front of the Ferguson Police Department, former New York City Police Department Commissioner Bernard Kerick says.

Yet, hypocritically, none of these leaders has said a single word about three African American officers being killed this year, Kerick said Thursday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.

"There's a number of people responsible for the climate. In my opinion, the civil rights leaders, you know Al Sharpton is one, that instigated, that incited [this]," Kerik said.

"Since Jan. 1, three law enforcement officers have been shot and killed. Every one of them has been black. [One] was a U.S. marshal who works for the Department of Justice.

"I haven't heard Al Sharpton or any of these so-called civil rights leaders or any of these other leaders that have been pushing for these protests … calling for justice … calling for protests concerning these attacks. To people … [dealing] with the dangers of law enforcement, that's pretty annoying."
