It’s not the only apparent link between the “dead cops” chant and the Trayvon Martin Organizing Committee. At the beginning of the video and before the call to kill police, you can hear what sounds like, “arms up, shoot back!” That slogan appears on TMOC’s Twitter account.Will you see a story linking the Trayvon Martin supporters with violence in Ferguson or the murder of police officers in New York?
The bedrock of TMOC’s politics, judged by their social-media output, is hatred for police and endorsement of violence against them. The group seems to blend “black bloc” anarchist street violence with social-media campaigns.
It would be interesting to find out more about the radicals whose slogan is “shoot back.” What we know now is that, out of the people arrested on the bridge, one is a Harvard-educated poet and another was making more than $100,000 a year working for one of the most the most powerful unions in New York City.
You already know the answer to that, don't you?

We heard Michael Coren speak last night at the JDL Canada Chanuhah “do.” He recalled the bad old days when the IRA were much in the news.Imagine that.
“No one ever described these individuals as ‘mentally ill’ after they killed someone,” Coren recalled wryly. “We called them ‘IRA members'.”
