"How about the ones claiming the Mayor is nearly complicit in this crime? How much damage are they doing?"
He's not an accessory or anything. But do you deny that his words fuel the outrage? There is absolutely no way you can connect racism to what happened to Garner, but that's all anyone talked about.
DiBlasio didn't create racial animosity, but he (and Sharpton and Obama) make it worse, by claiming it is occurring when clearly it's not. And just as importantly, it takes attention and resources away from th ereal problem, which is lifting these people out of poverty for good. Telling them that their lives don't matter to white cops is demonstrably falese and counter-productive. But it gets your base riled up, so it's OK.
