10:00 pm
antipolice protest earlier this month. he record it on his cell phone but did not play a role. brinsley gund down officers ramos and liu. it has triggard growing rift between the nypd. the mare asked to meet with union leaders but has asked for a pause until the officers have been laid to rest. more on hannity up next. >> welcome to hannity. law enforcement officers all over the country are on high alert after nypd officers liu and ramos were killed as they
10:01 pm
sat in their patrol car. they were killed by this man, h ismaaiyl brinsley. he said quote, shoot to police and rip eric garn and michael brown. he said this may be my final post. i'm putting pigs in a blanket. >> today, two of new york's finest were shot and killed with no warning, no provocation, they were quite simply assassinated. targeted for their uniform and for the responsibility they embrace to keep the people of this city safe. >> and there's a lot of blame to go around this weekend. listen to what the president of the new york city's benevolent
10:02 pm
had to say. >> those that incited violence on the street under guys of protest that tried to tear down what new york city police officers did every day. we tried to warn, it must not go on, it cannot be tolerated. that blood on the hands stops on the steps of city haul in the office of the mayor. >> and he's not the only one that feels that way, when the mayor entered, this is how he was greeted. police officers literally turned their back on him. and we'll discuss who, if anyone is to blame on the antipolice sentiment. and now, joining us now, ainsley
10:03 pm
earhardt. >> just hours after the horrific assassination, the son of rafial ramos wrote today is the worse day of my life. and he said today i had to say bye to my father. he was the best father i could ask for. it's horrible that someone gets shot dead just for being a police officer. they say they hate cops, but they're the people they call when they need help. rest in peace, dad. sean, back to you. >> thank you. we'll look forward to that report. but first joining me now,
10:04 pm
detective, and former assistant to the fbi are with us. bo, let me start with you. i don't think in all my years, i ever witnessed police offerings turning their back on the mayor before and a police officer said he turned his back on us first. >> you got to remember, i was round in the early '70s. the cops assassinated. curry and benetty, i could go on and on. i felt on saturday like someone ripped my heart out when i heard these kids were assassinated like that. and i want to say again, my hearts out to those families and i share the greef they have and i'm sure every cop. the environment was made by this mayor and i have so much respect
10:05 pm
for our police commissioner, bratton but the statements he made and letting them do what they wanted to do during demonstrations, pushing them and stand down and it went all over and let's face it, the mayor didn't tell this guy to kill the cops but he tweeted, in his own words, thises to the do with the garn and also the brown thing. so this environment was made and this mayor did not help at all. >> ron, do you think it's just the mayor? we've had months of discussion. even though the eric garner case and the michael brown case was not about race. it seems the entire narrative became about hostile police officers attacking people because of the color of their
10:06 pm
skin. what is your reaction? >> i don't know how it didn't contribute to his mind set. his acts were the acts of a mad man and what looks like a career criminal. so, he owned these acts himself. but the tone feels like it's been set over the last four months where we've had, starting with the brown and wilson intersection, which wasn't about rar race, it was about crime and policing. and if statements have been made that were very disturbing and the police have been on their heals. >> let's go to the chants. "what do we want? dead cops" and i don't remember the president making statemens s
10:07 pm
and speaking out against this rhetoric. >> "dead cops, now. what do we want? dead cops, now." >> you hear all that antipolice rhetoric. where did the expectation come that there would be certain verdicts in both of these cases? was he wrong to do so before the facts were presented in the case? >> both cases were criminal activity. these people were involved in criminal activity. instead of toning this down, they resurged it up. the mayor went out a little while ago and he's blaming the news media. that shows how unattached he is
10:08 pm
that he's blaming television. >> let me show remarks by both the president and eric holder. do you blame them? their decision to link these decisions about protest? here's what they have said. >> sometimes, you know, you have a police department that has gotten into bad habits over a period of time and hasn't maybe surfaced some hidden biases. >> as an african marecon bhoon has been stopped by police where such action was not wanted, i carry with me an understanding of the mistrust of what some citizens harb. >> we've had to literally train them as families have all over
10:09 pm
this sitfcity for decades in ho take special care on how to deal with the police officers who are there to protect them. >> i feel that the comments by these leaders created expectation without hearing the evidence. do you think this contributed to the anticop mentality we've been hearing? >> i absolutely think it contributed to the narrative that has been set. i'm not ready to put it in prosecutor's terms to indict the president or the attorney general or the mayor. >> i'm not saying that but i think they're rhetoric has been responsible.n the brown case where it was expected to come out one way but the evidence had
10:10 pm
it come out another way. >> those cases were about crime and criminality and not about race. >> stick around. but first, tonight, here on hannity. >> we've had four months of propaganda, starting with the president, that everybody should hate the police. i don't care how you describe it, that's what those protreest are all about. >> stay with us as we continue. ♪ (holiday music is playing) hey! i guess we're going to need a new santa ♪(the music builds to a climax.) more people are coming to audi than ever before. see why now is the best time. audi will cover your first month's payment on select models at the season of audi sales event.

10:12 pm
welcome back to hannity. in the wake of the assassination of two nypd officers, many are
10:13 pm
saying the mayor helped fan the flames. for example, listen to what he said after the eric garner decision. >> very early on, we said if a police officer stops you, don't move suddenly or reach for your cell phone because we kboe knew sadly t would be misinterpreted if it was a man with color. the way we police need change. they need to know that brown and black lives matter as much as white lives. we're not dealing with decades of racism, we are dealing with centuries of racism that have brought us to this day. that's how profound this problem is is. >> now, listen what ray kelly had to say. >> i think when the mayor made statements about he to train his
10:14 pm
son, who is biracial, to be careful when dealing with the police, i think that set off this latest fire storm and quite frankly, the mayor ran an antipolice campaign when he ran for mayor. >> and now rudy giuliani. he did ron cun a campaign that anticop, he talked about centuries of racism, he talked about how he had to treat his son how to deal with cops and then the cops end up turning their backs on him. i've never seen anything like that. do you think that's justified? >> it was a time of high emotion. i can understand twhwhy the pol officers did that.
10:15 pm
i think they shouldn't have done that out of respect for the office of the mayor. but the statements saying that new york city police department is substantially racist. and that's not true. the instants of misconduct go down every year and the reality is that reason that these cases often turn out with no indictment or acquittals is because most times the police officers are justified in what they're doing. they don't leave their houses in the morning wanting to use their gun. in fact, they know what a terrible problem it is to use their gun. so this notion that police officers are running around trying to kill people of color.
10:16 pm
i have no idea why the mayor or president want to perpet wait this. it's untrue. a psychologist would have to figure out that. i wouldn't want to make that charge. and even before the murders, i was very upset about the tone. i consider this hate speech regarding police officers. >> and it's gone on for a number of months. you were very clear in speaking out in both the eric garner and mike. brown cases. i don't see any evidence that it's race related. i've asked people to bring it to me and i would look at it. who do you blame for bringing on this atmosphere as you talked about earlier -- go ahead.
10:17 pm
>> i think you have to nput the blame on the president, because that puts it nation wide. and to say that you're willing to have somebody as a close advisor who have caused riots in new york city, who is antipolice before he even knows the facts and the reality is, in the brown case, you couldn't possibly have a clearer case. all this stuff about his hands up. that was disproved by seven independent witnesses, who were african american and they go around perpet waiting this. and for the situation in new york, certainly the mayor. why -- >> but i want to be clear here. so, basically they set a narrative in the country that was false. >> it's propaganda.
10:18 pm
it's no different than the propaganda they used to have in the soviet union. both of those situations were crimes. all of this, we're talking about crime and reacting to crime. where does it occur? where do you send the police? those police officers that were murdered were moved because there was more crime in the precinct they were in. >> how does a mayor with 45,000 police officers possibly govern a city like new york -- i remember when you were mayor, 5:00 in the morning, you urin the hospital if a police officer or a fire fighter is hurt. i don't think you missed a time.
10:19 pm
the mayor needs to apologize. >> he needs appaologize for havg defamed them. they have created the impression -- and i think president even used these words -- a cyst emic problem. there isn't a sustemmic problem. it used to be sistemic problems with the italians and i took a lot of heat dealing with it but i did. and you deal with it as a crime and not race. you don't make racial situation out of this. >> let's go back to when the mayor spoke, just prior to when he had the police turn their backs on him and he said if you
10:20 pm
have any information that a cop may be at risk, you have to report it. >> if at any time, anyone has information that there might be an act of violence directed on any police officer, it is imperative that that be reported immediately. >> did the mayor miss the chant and the brooklyn bridge where cops were assaulted? did he miss those moments. >> well, he missed a way to go about with the protests, as a result of the crown protests. you have a right to protest but you don't have a right to take bridge or the fdr drive. you don't have a right to it block our streets where people with heart attacks are waiting for an ambulance.
10:21 pm
i don't know if the mayor doesn't bother to look at these things. i used to have the tapes brought to me by the police commissioner. but he was meeting with and talking to the very people who were yelling "kill the police." >> why didn't he speak out -- talking on saturday night was too little, too late. the time to speak out about people yelling "kill the police, "he should have said, i'm not tolerating that, you're not taking the fdr drive. you're going to conduct the protests on the street and if you start this stuff about killing police you are going to
10:22 pm
git rested right away. >> he needs apologize to the police and i don't know if the police will do that but -- >> well, they deserve an apology and these two men and their families really deserve it. >> and coming up on hannity. >> "what do we want? dead cops". >> we play that disturbing chant a few weeks ago. next we will have comments from mark fuhrman and bo dietl. , does your mouth often feel dry? a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications. but it can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath. that's why there's biotene, available as an oral rinse, toothpaste, spray or gel. biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy too. remember, while your medication
10:23 pm
is doing you good, a dry mouth isn't. biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth.
10:24 pm
welcome back to "hannity" welcome back to hannity. following the police shootings on saturday, they are trying to distance themselves from the murders but can anyone really claim that there's no connection
10:25 pm
to the protests and the police assassination when this was the chant in new york city just one week ago. >> who do we want? dead cops. what to we want? dead cops. now. when do we want to? now. >> remember this call for violence from michael brown's step father in november? >> burn this -- down. burn this -- down. burn this -- down. >> burn that "b" down and what do we want? dead cops, when to we want it? now. and there discuss it is former nypd detective mike furman and
10:26 pm
detective bo dietl. >> it's almost marching orders. the way that everything's been built up for over three months. you have these protests and demonstrators and riots. they're taking more and more advantage of law enforcement as politicians are pulling law enforcement back because they're afraid of being seen as aggressi aggressive. this is the time to be aggressive. it sounds like you have marching orders and you had someone in baltimore, idiot, listening. >> let me put it another way, anyone that has disagreed with me in the michael brown case. i have said show me any evidence that shows this is racial.
10:27 pm
they've never been able to provide that. the attorney general made that publicly, the mayor, the president. did that create a mind set in people that this is about cops, black and white and not about crime? >> absolutely. they were preloaded. in new york city we have one of the most diverse police departments in the world. we have a very diverse police department in new york and as far as i'm concerned, what they have done, and they've done the cops to stand down, being spat at and they're not able to make arrests a lot of times. and it's wrong. you let them keep going and then that atmosphere got the way it was and then that bum from
10:28 pm
baltimore was able to use that astalyst before christmas. >> and i was watching you with judge janene you think we might be seeing more of this. do you think that? >> you have copy cats. you have people watching this whole thing and think about going out in a blaze of glory. we had a guy who shot his girl in the stomach and he came to new york and wanted to make an impression. and you have the bloods and the crips and this might be a call out to start killing the cops and i remember 1970, 1971, we were bearying cops. and this mayor should step up, instead of dividing us.
10:29 pm
>> how did we get to the point to where all this reckless rhetoric and even the president, did we get to a point where cops are guilty before evidence is presented? didn't that create a very big part in creating a mindset in this country? >> i think that trush judgment that cops are always wrong is a predisposed attitude. every r and you're completely right about michael brown. that was about race. it was a white man who picked a black man and killed him. so people who are supposed to be leaders that twist that case around to be something it's not
10:30 pm
just for the racial insigciteme of it, that's what dime a head when these officers were assassinated. they were empowered by the anger. >> let me go to the reverend al sharpton in all of this because he's become best friends with the president and mayor de blasio. lets look at his comments. >> no justice. no peace. no justice. no peace. if you're angry, throw your arm up. if you want answers, throw your arms up. because that's the sign michael was using in order to establish peace, you must have fair justice for everyone.
10:31 pm
we want real peace. we don't want to be told to sit down and suffer in silence. we fight until we win. the federal government must step in. >> all right. so, how does al sharpton become the voice of msnbc news and get an invite to the white house 84 times since president obama was president. >> this guy was gunned down just for the rhetoric of reverend al sharpton. i don't want to call him reverend. i want to see this president get on his, with all respect, air force 1s. he flies afround fund raisers. let him come to these young
10:32 pm
man's funerals. >> the 80% of officers who put their lives on the line for us every single day. that has been missing the last three months. very little of these opportunitiest politician have come on saying these cops to a good job under dangerous condition every single day. and coming up. >> to link the criminal insanity of a loan gunman to a peaceful protest of many people across the country, including the attorney general, the mare and even the president, is certainly not fair. >> not fair. well, we'll review those remarks after the break. stay with us. no question about that. but your erectile dysfunction - that could be a question of blood flow.

10:36 pm
o .
10:37 pm
welcome back to hannity now on sunday. cornell william brooks, the president of the naacp said the rhetoric was not to blame for the murders. >> to link the insanity of a loan gunman to the peaceful aspirations of many people across the country, including the attorney general, the mayor, and even the president, is not fair. the fact is we have a violence problem. think about it this way. the tears of michael brown and eric garner's family are not shed in racially black or brown, they're colorless. >> here's response. let me start here. because you were in ferguson a
10:38 pm
number of times covering that issue for this program. that case in particular was not about race, it was made racial by politicians. you heard from the president on down rush to judgment before any evidence was presented, an expectation that a certain verdict from the grand jury would come in, do you think that atmosphere inspired, if you will, i'm not saying they're to blar blame, but affected it? >> yes. i just sent another threat to nypd to check out while i was waiting for this segment. i've been getting these since
10:39 pm
they were talking about this crime. it was loan gunman who fired the first shot while i was on the air with you in ferguson. it was several who fired the ensuing shots as i was going down the street. so wipe that narrative off the table. it was driven by the left, by the progressives, by al sharpton, who's the chief racist in this country. but he sits that right hand of president obama and of gibill d blasio and they should look at their action and judge it what it is. >> we have a montage of all the radical things al sharpton has said over the years. do you think a guy who should be
10:40 pm
at the white house? do you think he should be giving advice to the president or the mayor of new york? >> no. he should be in new york. they jailed other people that have been a part of other similar organizations like the national action network. al sharpton has done nothing since the beginning of this and this predats ferguson and as far as what the president of the naacp said, it's better than to listen to these ignor aimishes. saying this had nothing to do with what happened in new york. the fact of the matter is everybody is aware at how this man was created. he did not come to this idea on his own. he was created with everything
10:41 pm
that happened on ferguson, leading up to what de blasio did and the parent disregard for the lives of law enforcement who have to get up every day and face the dregs of the world. but when these guys act as if they're some form that drop them from outer space, they're -- >> let me go and ask you, i've often said the president is a three-time loser, on these cases. trayvon martin would look like my son. again, before any evidence was presented, he sent people to the funeral of michael brourngswn, robbed a store, and my
10:42 pm
question -- hold on. why does the president rush to judgment on these high profile race cases and isn't it wrong to hangout with sharpton? >> first of all, he didn't rush to judgment. just because you may have some concerns about police paolicies does not mean you're antipolice. >> the white house sent three representatives to the funeral of michael brown, a guy who tried to steal a cop's gun. >> we don't know that. >> none of us were there. not one of us were there. >> that's what the testimony said. >> some of the testimony. some of the testimony said he had his hands up. >> no, it didn't.
10:43 pm
that's ridiculous. >> okay. >> his hands up narrative. >> why would he trurush to judgt and -- >> he did not rush to judgment. >> are they going to send that to the funeral of these three dead cops? >> there's two. >> three, one in florida. >> okay. let's talk about brooklyn. i think there should be. >> is he going to sunday representative to the funeral of these dead cops? >> i would hope so. >> and earhardt travelled to enthusiastic family of one of those nypd officers. that story straight ahead.
10:44 pm
oh, i love game night. ooh, it's a house and a car! so far, you're horrible at this, flo. yeah, no talent for drawing, flo. house! car! oh, raise the roof! no one? remember when we used to raise the roof, diane? oh, quiet, richard, i'm trying to make sense of flo's terrible drawing. i'll draw the pants off that thing. oh, oh, hats on hamburgers! dancing! drive-in movie theater! home and auto. lamp!

10:47 pm
10:48 pm
some say buy gold. others say buy soybeans. i say, buy comcast business internet. unlike internet providers that slow down when traffic picks up, you get speed you can rely on. it's a safe bet. like a gold-plated soybean. reliably fast internet starts at $69.95 a month. comcast business. built for business. welcome back to hannity. in the wake of the deadly police shooting, earhardt travelled to new york to talk to the family of ramos. >> my cousin was -- had a couple
10:49 pm
of priorities in his life. one was god because he was a god loving man. he was a full blown christian. he loved his wife and was a dedicated father and i wish i could be half the man my cousin was because that's the way he was. he was sweet. he didn't deserve like this to die. he just didn't. >> and ainsley joins us now to talk to us about what happened. here you have christmas week and officer liu was just married and then ramos' family. >> they're broken up about this but they're trying to forgive. the family very strong catholic family and they're really
10:50 pm
focusing on their faith right now. here we have a few days before christmas and he won't be home to open presents. he was a great man. he was in the bed side community. that is a rough neighborhood and he was there as a police presence and that's not even his precinct. they had lots of different police officers in that community and he was in there for that. neighbors are upset about the protests. the pigs in a protest, we want cops to die. what do we want? dead cops. and they want everybody to remember that people who are involved with these protests all had rap sheets. listen on the neighbor.
10:51 pm
>> we as children want there to be cops when they grow up. now, we have all these videos of them doing their job. we forget these are criminals they're throughout defending them. and the people who are defending his own family aren't out there and i find it disgraceful. >> she said she felt like de blasio had blood on his hands and i asked one of the cousins if they thought de blasio should step down. >> we need somebody like giuliani. he couldn't be bought. and when he needed to respond, he responded. >> as mayor of the city, he needs show more respect for the cops in some ways because they are the ones out there doing the dirty jobs and dying for us.
10:52 pm
>> sean, i do want to stress that officer ramos, because this is what i heard from everybody in the community, the family said he is a born again catholic. he has an oldest son in college. he was working hard to put his son in college, he's leaving behind his wife with a mortgage. the grandmother who raised him heard the news on saturday and was so upset, they had to rush her to the hospital and she's still there. but the family has said they forgive the killer and they find sols to know he will be in heaven for the biggest birthday party with jesus. >> our thoughts and prayers are with them. thank you for sharing that. be sure to tune in on new year's
10:53 pm
eve for 9:00 p.m. and words of wisdom from the great paul harvey and my final thoughts on this tragedy. up ahead. could protect you from cancer? what if one push up could prevent heart disease? one. wishful thinking, right? but there is one step you can take to help prevent another serious disease- pneumococcal pneumonia. one dose of the prevnar 13 ® vaccine can help protect you ... from pneumococcal pneumonia, an illness that can cause coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and may even put you in the hospital. prevnar 13 is used in adults 50 and older to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. you should not receive prevnar 13 if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. if you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. common side effects were pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site.
10:54 pm
limited arm movement, fatigue, head ache muscle or joint pain, less appetite, chills, or rash. even if you've already been vaccinated with another pneumonia vaccine, prevnar 13 ® may help provide additional protection. get this one done. ask your healthcare professional about prevnar 13 ® today.
10:55 pm
10:56 pm
now in the wake of this weekend's police killings, we as a nation need to reflect on how
10:57 pm
police put their lives at risk to protect all of us. and whose words can we look to? none other than paul harvey. >> a police officer is a mixture of and they are unusual, not common place. buried under the frauth is the fact and the fact is they misfit that uniform and that is a better average than you'd find among clurjyman. he is the most wanted, a strangely namely kreecher who is sir or pig to his back. he needs have each think he's one. if he's pleasant, he's a flurt, if he's not he's a grouch.
10:58 pm
if he hurries, he's careless, he must be first to an accident, infallible with a diagnoses, be able to tie splints and most important, that they go home without a limp. he must be able to whip two men twice his size and half his age without damaging his uniform and without being brutal. if he gets you, he is a obully. he must be a diplomat, a tough guy and a gentleman and of course, he'll have to be genius because he'll have to feed family on a policeman's salary. >> words of paul harvey. timeless, actually. i have a lot of family that have been in law enforcement for their entire lives and careers. it is sad. it is open season on police
10:59 pm
officers and i pray this is not going to happen again. bo dietl thinks it's a good possibility. i do want to address those people who chanted what do we want? dead cops. you have blood on your hands. those that exploited the eric garner and michael brown cases. there was no evidence that those were about race, and instead of bringing people toorkgether, yo decided to exploit this. my prayer is you will stand back and see the harm you have done with your rhetoric. for that, you should have shame. anyway, that's all the time we have left this evening.
11:00 pm
our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of these slan officers. thank you for being with us. this is fox news alort. police releasing new video and new information about the death of new york city police officers. they were merely sitting in their marked patrol car. it was happening in broad daylight. it was and is horrific. and they say the suspect had 119 images and his facebook count mostly antipolice. they released this video of the suspect in the hours after the shooting and don't tell me you're surprised because
