Al Sharpton speaks at the National Action Network about tensions leading up to a grand jury decision in Ferguson, Missouri, and allegations of tax issues published in local media in New York, November 19, 2014.

Rev. Al Sharpton called for peace and unity in the wake of the NYPD cop deaths after critics blamed him for the tragedies.

On Saturday, shortly after news of the "execution style" murders broke, Sharpton wasted no time condemning the fatal shootings of NYPD Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos. The pair was sitting in their parked patrol car in Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon when they were each struck in the head by bullets from Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28, who also turned the gun on himself.

"I am outraged at the killing of 2 police officers in Brooklyn. That is why we stress non violence as the only way to fight for justice," Sharpton tweetedon Saturday. "An eye for an leaves the whole world blind. We all at NAN express our prayers and condolences to the families of the 2 NYC officers."

Al Sharpton cancels visit to North Charleston

NORTH CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) -

As the Charity Missionary Baptist Church in North Charleston celebrated its hundred-year anniversary Sunday, it also mourned the death of the two New York City police officers killed yesterday.

"We grieve with the families, Reverend Nelson Rivers III, the pastor at the church said. We grieve and understand what they're going through."

Al Sharpton was scheduled to speak at the church today but instead, stayed in New York after the allegedly revenge-motivated killings.

"That was wrong, Rivers said. It was evil and wicked and nothing good can come from it."

Rivers is also a vice president for the National Action Network which organized the Washington DC march with Garner and Brown's families and he knows the families personally.

"It's just the complete opposite of everything they would've wanted, Rivers said. Anyone who did that, who thought they were doing something to avenge Eric Garner was sadly mistaken and tragically mistaken."

Rivers said the black community in North Charleston has a good relationship with the police but still sees some problems.

"We've had issues and continue to have issues, Rivers said. We still believe there's racial profiling particularly in North Charleston, but the North Charleston Police Department and the National Action Network have worked well together on a number of issues."

A spokesperson for the Charleston County Sheriff's Department said the shooting is an unfortunate lesson and the department will remind deputies to be on their toes and stay alert, but haven't planned any extra action.

Al Sharpton Claims He Has Been Receiving Death Threats Since Two NYC Cops Were Killed

The Rev. Al Sharpton claims he has received death threats since New York City police officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were killed execution-style by an alleged gang member who announced on Instagram he was planning to kill cops to avenge the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown.

Standing beside Garner's wife and mother, Sharpton reportedly played a voicemail for reporters in which someone could be heard making racist remarks toward him and threatening his life, reports the New York Post.

Hey, n****r, stop killing innocent people, Im going to get you! the voice on the recording reportedly says. The voice also used the F-word three times, and this was broadcast live on television news reports.

Sharpton told reporters that call was only one of many he has received.

I have several like this," Sharpton told the Staten Island Advance. We are now under intense threat from those that are misguided, by those that are trying to blame everyone from civil rights leaders to the mayor rather than deal with an ugly spirit that all of us need to fight.

Sharpton further angered many people by chastising those who are blaming New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for allegedly not doing enough to curb violence against the police.

To blame the mayor and others is not what we need, Sharpton said. The blame game will only lead to further kinds of venom and further division.

Garners mother, Gwen Carr, and wife Esaw Garner condemned the killings of two police officers in Garners name and made it clear that they do not support an anti-police sentimentality.

Anyone that is standing beside us, we want you to not use Eric Garners name for violence because we are not about that, Carr told the The Washington Times. These two police officers lost their lives senselessly, and our condolence[s are] with the family, and we stand with the family.

Garner added, My husband was not a violent man, and we dont want any violence connected to his name, thank you.
