Trump: Professional Con Man Sharpton Has Gotten Away with a Lot of Murder - Video
NEW YORK, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- Actor James Woods offered strong words for civil rights activist and television pundit Al Sharpton on Twitter, accusing the Baptist minister of inspiring the murder of two New York police officers by leading protests against police violence.
After a three month absence from Twitter, Woods returned to the social media platform to blast Sharpton, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and the Obama administration.
In a tweet, Woods asserted Sharpton was "directly responsible" for the deaths of officer Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, who were fatally shot while sitting in their patrol car on Saturday.
Woods has since continued to criticizing Sharpton, whom Woods accuses of being a "race-hustler."
Despite Woods' strong words for Sharpton, the Once Upon a Time in America star also tweeted support for Emerald Garner, daughter of Eric, after she called for solidarity between those who demonstrate against police violence and the police whose culture demonstrators seek to change.
Woods' "long time" friend and political opposite Alec Baldwin took to Twitter to address Woods' rant, but Woods said he chose ignore Baldwin's comments for the sake of their friendship.
Correction: An earlier version of this story said Woods had deleted the tweet where he says Sharpton is "directly responsible" for the murder of the policemen. Woods did not delete the tweet.

Al Sharpton to blame for police shootings, actor James Woods tweets
Anyone surprised Al Sharptons immediate reaction to the execution of two cops was how this will affect Al Sharpton?
As news broke of the shooting of Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, Sharpton issued a condemnation. But he also worried it might derail the pursuit of justice in the Eric Garner and Michael Brown cases. And he played a phone recording of death threats against him filled with racial slurs.
The Rev effectively draws a moral parallel between the deaths of Garner and Brown both of whom died, regretfully, while resisting arrest and Officers Liu and Ramos, who were shot point blank while defending New Yorkers from criminals.
Throughout Sharptons career, from the Freddys Fashion Mart killings to the ambush of these officers, his causes have been attended by violence. Often he condemns such acts. But Sharpton remains stuck in a narrative where New York is 1960s Alabama and our cops are all Bull Connors.
Yet Mayor de Blasio has treated him as though he were the second coming of Martin Luther King, Jr. President Obama has him down to the White House where he is treated as a civil-rights leader.
And when a Sony exec makes some racially insensitive remarks in an e-mail, its the Rev. Al she ends up apologizing to.
For all the talk about innocent men getting shot, the two men who never even had the chance to put their hands up were Officers Liu and Ramos.
From Mayor de Blasio on down, city leaders say the murders horrify them, and some, like the mayor, have even asked for a break in the protests.
Well learn whether they mean any of it by whether they call Al Sharpton out or continue to indulge his pretense that hes a healer rather than an inciter.
