MEMORY LANE: O'Keefe fired staff who wouldn't use his 'kill cops' script to incite protestors

http://nypost.com/2015/03/17/activist-allegedly-tried-to-bait-protesters-with-kill-cops-script/


A controversial conservative activist is being accused of trying to incite anti-police protesters by saying, “I wish I could kill some of these cops,” to provoke them into making outrageous statements.

A former top staffer with Project Veritas, Richard Valdes, said the incident occurred in January, when an undercover operative assigned to infiltrate the protest groups was given a script that included the startling comment.

Valdes said he was fired by the group’s founder, James O’Keefe, for not following through on the bizarre assignment.

Valdes said Veritas assigned a Muslim undercover agent pretending to be anti-cop to attend protest meetings and utter the following statement: “Sometimes, I wish I could just kill some of these cops. Don’t you just wish we could have one of the cops right here in the middle of our group?”

But the undercover agent refused, according to Valdes.

James O'Keefe, a turd that refuses to be flushed. <--- I don't usually use language like this, but James O'Keefe is my new exception.

And there was a guy with a signboard in the back trying to get attention for it.

Also, O'Keefe is such a hack.
