As Twitchy reported, actor Samuel L. Jackson issued the #icantbreathechallenge to his fellow celebrities, asking them to post videos of themselves singing the “I Can’t Breathe” song, including the line, “Calling out the violence of the racist police.”
It probably wasn’t Jackson’s video but rather video of #MillionsMarchNYC protesters chanting for “dead cops” that inspired singer Charlie Daniels to send out a tweet Tuesday night to any New York City police officers online.
It's hard to believe there are people walking in the streets in NY shouting
"WHAT DO WE WANT-DEAD COPS"

Some solid advice:
If you don't like the police the next time you're in danger call Al Sharpeton.
