He thinks he should be in anything were a black person is in the wrong...to prove he is innocent But the guy getting shot on his wedding day i can understand.....Thats messed up But Come on Al........Get out of the damn street.....
The man is standing up for what he believes in. Nothing wrong with that in my book. How else can you affect change, if you are not willing to be a change agent. Yeah he is a publicity hound, but it takes balls to stand up against the man. I say more power to him. Those cops got away with murder and you expect everyone to just go on with their daily lives. Fack that. That ****e aint right!
I think you're missing the point. the guy got shot and was UNARMED, forget that it was his wedding day. Also, why do you have a problem with Sharpton? I give him some respect for what he does. Yeah, sometimes he's annoying, but he usually stands up for people who have small voices.
Thank you so much. I was just about to post this. For all the crap Al Sharpton takes from folks here in the US(and Sharpton himself is partly to blame because he does love some publicity), I can guarantee you that black people all over England,Spain, Italy and other parts of Europe would love to have an Al Sharpton to champion their causes when they've been unjustly wronged. I could come up with a litany of incidents just over the past two years in my beloved England that the courts and the public have swept under the rug, which would probably have happened in this case or the Diallo case if Sharpton hadn't stepped in.
He just sometimes needs to pick his battles better. Maybe pass over the Tawana Brawleys and Crystal Mangums (though, to his credit, he did largely stay out of the Duke case).
There would be a lot of dead people in this country if getting drunk at a strip club was a shoot on sight offense. The police weren't in uniform and they didn't identify themselves. The victims thought they were getting carjacked. Even if you don't want to pin manslaughter and attempted manslaughter on them, certainly reckless endangerment should have stuck. Nobody seems to care that a stray bullet from one of the officers nearly hit a civillian and 2 port authority officers at an AirTran station down the block. What if it hadn't missed, would you just chalk that up to collateral damage?
