One reads with much amusement the latest publicity stunt by another grandstanding charlatan.
There are so very many ways this is amusing, but a few of them are terribly politically incorrect, and you know how much that sort of thing concerns me,,, right?
From the article:
Addressing a South Los Angeles church congregation that included the girl's mother and sister, Sharpton said Sunday that some local activists had agreed to suspend protests until the Police Department finished its probe.
"There cannot be a knee-jerk reaction when we will always say the police is right," he said. "There cannot also be a reaction, knee-jerk in the community, saying they're always wrong."
Uhh,,, excuse me?
Have space aliens visited someone else's hair and this isn't the same Al Sharpton who brought us the Tawana Brawley debacle?
Let me see if I have this right. A 'reverend' viciously slanders several people and deliberately fuels a protest over a completely fabricated, but oh-so-conveniently racially-charged allegation of misconduct by police... and now, this... kinder, gentler Al Sharpton wants to be the voice of reason?
... next thing you'll tell me is that Ice-T is making money playing a cop on TV.
Maybe I'm overly suspicious of Sharpton, but it sounds to me like he's saying he knows the mayor is going to punish the officers.
And, did he condemn the actions of a man who would use a child as a shield? I'm not going to say he didn't, just because it wasn't reported...
Oh I will. He's an unashamed race-baiter who does it for the publicity he knows he can generate/incite with his particular brand of trash, and no, he didn't condemn them a bit. (he was being persecuted by white cops,,, what else could he do?)
The really foul part of this is that the cops may well get crucified for having done their jobs, just so a racist b*st*rd like Sharpton doesn't incite 'his people' to burn the city again.
