Its one thing to stand up for what you believe in...but to say your going to shut down a city? Crazy talk.

Right. Nevermind the fact that they were being aggressive toward the cops, one yelled "get my gun!" and then began searching through the car, and got out quickly with something in his hands. Cops get a bad rap all the time because people are stupid. Let me clue you all in on something...

Almost EVERY police dept at EVERY level has a policy in place that if you are showing "physical indicators" to cause that officer severe physical harm or death he has the right to shoot your ***.

For reference: GRAHAM v. CONNOR, 490 U.S. 386 (1989)

I guess my point is, don't act like you're going to fight the cop and then complain when he kicks your ***.

Al Sharpton, along with his cohort in crime Jesse Jackson, are the biggest jokes and two of the most racist people in America.

It's just like the situation in Jena not too long ago...they both were there protesting that 5 kids shouldn't be punished for ganging up on a kid and beating him severely because they were black and the kid had hung a noose in a tree. Yes, that kid deserved to be punished for that, and pretty harshly I think. But the just because someone does something you don't like, no matter what color you or they are, you do not have the right to get your buddies together and go beat them for it. If the role was reversed and 5 white kids had beat up a black kid, they would be screaming for life in prison. So basically, they thought those 5 kids shouldn't be punished because they were black, ie give them preferential treatment due to the color of their skin, which is the definition of racism. They're hypocrites and much more a part of the problem than the solution.

Luckily, nobody really pays them any attention any more other than to laugh at them.

Al Sharpon has simply lost it. How is this a racial thing when two of the three police officers involved were black?

[11chaos]

I also saw that two of the three police officers are black men. Did Al not see this or does he see them as being part of the man. And we all know that the Man is always trying to keep you down.

[lil5up3rman]

I am sure he thinks they are part of the man, or as sellouts to the race, it's people like him that sets us back when it comes to racism.

I'm not really religious, but AMEN to that. I was on a detail once and Jesse came up to me and a co-worker and I refused to shake his tainted hand. My moral victory for the day.

I guess my point is, don't act like you're going to fight the cop and then complain when he kicks your ***.

Amen to that to.

I'd rather be judged by 12, than carried by 6.

You're forgetting the biggest joke and racist of all- Farrakhan. He's the one who claimed white doctors were injecting black babies with the AIDS virus.

It's amazing how when somebody loses in court all of a sudden it means the judicial system doesn't work.
