Actor James Woods has slammed the Rev. Al Sharpton and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio in a series of angry Twitter messages following the murder of two NYPD officers.
The "Casino" star called Sharpton a "pig" and blamed de Blasio for inciting anti-cop sentiment, leading to the execution-style deaths of Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu as they sat in their police cruiser in Brooklyn.
According to the
New York Post, Woods also wrote, "The blood of 2 executed police officers is on the hands of Mayor de Blasio. May God bless their families and may they rest in peace."
While calling Sharpton and de Blasio "race hucksters" for stirring up the nationwide protests over the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, Woods urged the mayor to resign and backed cops who turned their backs on de Blasio during a press conference.
The film and TV star, who often expresses his outrage on an assortment of issues via Twitter, also suggested that President Barack Obama had fueled the race crisis by tweeting images of the president appearing with Sharpton.
