Hip hop recording artist Talib Kweli Greene knows who to blame for the death of two New York Police Department officers yesterday: The person who carried out the shooting. And also those cops who wore “I Can Breathe” t-shirts, of course.
So if you want to talk about blood on hands, start & stop with the dead shooter. & maybe the cops with the "I Can Breathe" tshirts.

In fairness, Greene did say “maybe.” So he is leaving open the possibility, however slim, that those officers were not in fact responsible for the double murder. How generous of him!
This tweeter has a slightly different take:
@TalibKweli No it should start with all of white society and it end with the one black martyr who had the balls to do what needed to be done
