Beck: Ferguson Protesters ‘Creating the Atmosphere for Cops to Be Killed’

Glenn Beck today lashed out at the Ferguson protesters for, as he put it, creating a dangerous climate in which cops could actually be killed, referencing the shooting of two police officers near the Ferguson PD last night.

Beck said that if he and others had “called for violence, called police racist pigs, all the names that these protesters have used and called the police, and then two of them were shot, I think we’d be in jail today.”

He called it “despicable” how the White House and liberal activists have embraced the Ferguson protesters; the protesters who Beck said “are creating the atmosphere for cops to be killed.”

Beck proceeded to go off on “bad cops giving all cops a bad name,” people demonizing all cops, and open carry protesters trying to antagonize the cops.
