The murder of two New York Police Department officers yesterday was preceded by a good deal of inflammatory anti-cop rhetoric — not just by street protesters, but by well-known liberal musicians, actors, and political pundits. Here’s a small sampling:

Liberal commentator Sally Kohn:
Many allegations swirling re #FergusonShooting. Only sure facts, according to police, is Mike Brown was unarmed and fleeing with hands up.

Actor Wil Wheaton:
It's possible to support and believe in good police, while being appalled at the killing of Mike Brown by the monster Darren Wilson.
