'War on cops': GOP candidate for NY gov blasts Al Sharpton, 'spineless politicians'

As Twitchy reported, Al Sharpton left Ferguson, Missouri, for Staten Island, New York, where he’s been leading a march protesting the chokehold death of Eric Garner. But Republican gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino thinks New Yorkers would be better off if Sharpton took a hike:

.@SheriffMoss & I stand firmly behind the NYPD in the face of a growing war on cops designed by Rev Sharpton & a few spineless politicians.

Chris Moss is president of the New York State Sheriff’s Association and is Astorino’s running mate. You can read the full statement here.
