Will the movement of protest behind the killing of Mike Brown and Eric Garner now be kill or crippled do to the tragic killings of the two NYPD police officers? Or was the movement already slowing momentum? Why or why not?
The holidays, cold weather, and the fickle nature of the news cycle will have as much if not more impact on the waning of this round of protests than the murder of these officers, imo.
What is really sad beyond these policemen just doing their job and losing their lives for nothing is that the Police/Coloured People relations have been shook. What cop isn't going to hesitate and have a second thought when a person of colour approaches them.
And as always, if you actually look at photos videos of the protests where they're calling for dead cops, now it's not really a colored people issue. Plenty of white faces in those crowds as well. It's a class issue. Now that we actually have dead cops, maybe the tone changes. Or maybe they smell blood and it just escalates.

I hope it dies down too, so i'm hoping winter would break it like it did to the occupy people but in the winter of 2011-12. As a democrat I think these protest don't make liberalism anymore apealing, and if they contune long enough if could really hamper 2016 for democrats.
