Protesters Yell "Pigs In A Blanket" Following Officer Deaths

Legal Insurrection: “Pigs in a blanket” chanted in #Ferguson long before #NYPD executions

On October 25, 2014, I wrote about how anti-Israel activists attempted to co-opt and hijack the Ferguson protests and riots and turn the anger towards Israel, Intifada Missouri – Anti-Israel activists may push Ferguson over the edge. The activists gathered under the “Palestine2Ferguson” banner and Twitter hashtag.

One of the key anti-Israel activists was Bassem Masri, a Palestinian-American who attempted to instigate confrontations between police and protesters, as he livestreamed the protests.

Fast forward to the execution of two NYPD police officers, Wenjian Lu and Rafael Ramos, on December 20, by Ismaaiyl Brinsley. The killer wrote on Instagram in his final post: “I’m Putting Wings On Pigs Today. They Take 1 Of Ours…Let’s Take 2 of Theirs,” “This May Be My Final Post … I’m Putting Pigs In A Blanket.”

After the killing, Masri attracted attention because he tweeted and was on video chanting, with others, “Pigs In a Blanket, Fry ‘Em Like Bacon.” Masri denies that he supported the killing, but seems to like the chant.

As offensive as these post-killing chants are, that’s not the real story here. The real story is the connection between the killer’s final Instagram note and the Ferguson protests. The “pigs in a blanket” language was chanted during the Ferguson protests in the fall.

...you know, after reading the LI article and seeing this video, I honestly wouldn't mind seeing the cops go nightstick on these people....just saying.

then can i go nightstick on you @webster?

all in all, all violence is wrong unless your fighting for a just cause, in which they see cops beating up and killing their people left and right, so they are pushing back... i'm sure that's what america did to england, no?

I think that the USA needs to be careful. The terrorists know that they can never beat America in a war, but what would happen if they could get Americans to turn on each other. Race against race, people against law enforcement.
They will tear you apart from the inside you let them.
