James Woods is taking aim at political activist Rev. Al Sharpton. The actor went on an angry Twitter tirade Sunday, December 21, blaming Sharpton for the murders of NYPD Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu.
The two policemen were murdered on Saturday when gunman Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley, 28, shot them execution style while they sat in their patrol car on a Brooklyn, New York street.
Brinsley referenced Eric Garner and Michael Brown, two African American men who were killed by cops earlier this year in an Instagram message where he declared his intentions to kill police officers on Saturday.

"I'm putting wings on pigs today. They take 1 of ours, let's take 2 of theirs," Brinsley wrote. "#Shootthepolice #RIPErivGardner #RIPMikeBrown. This may be my final post. I'm putting pigs in a blanket."
Brinsley later committed suicide.
Sharpton has been at the forefront of peaceful protests for Garner and Brown, calling for a change in police policies regarding the handling of minorities. He has also been a spokesman for Garner's family
In Woods' opinion Sharpton has done nothing more than incite racial tensions and hatred for cops.
"This disgusting pig is DIRECTLY responsible for the murder of two good policemen. No Discussion," Woods wrote. "Is Race Pimp Sharpton eating caviar this morning?"
Woods didn't spare New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio during his diatribe. He retweeted a message labeling him the worst city leader in America and called for his resignation. He also suggested President Obama and Sharpton were somehow in cahoots.

Expect more of these kinds of outbursts from people on both sides of the police policy reform issue.
