Re: Did Al Sharpton's rhetoric contribute to the deaths of 2 NYPD Police officers?
...
Really?
AL SHARPTON DIDN'T SHOW UP THERE! He was in DC
But god forbid logic, facts, or common sense interfere with your desperate attempt to throw out ridiculous rhetorical questions :roll:
What part don't you get, Sharpton was in NYC and holding rallies and press conferences. He had the crowd fired up. The day he announced the DC march he did so with Garner's widow, mother and children on the stage with him in NYC. His rhetoric was one that black people can't trust the police or grand juries.

"Rev. Al Sharpton (L), President of the National Action Network, Esaw Garner (R), widow of Eric Garner, and son Emory Garner (C) hold a press conference December 3, 2014 in New York, after a grand jury decided not to charge a white police officer in the choking death of Eric Garner, a black man, days after a similar decision sparked renewed unrest in Missouri."
"NEW YORK, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Civil rights activist Al Sharpton on Wednesday called for a protest march in Washington following a New York grand jury decision not to indict a white policeman in the chokehold death of an unarmed black man.
"We have no confidence in local state prosecutions because state prosecutors work hand in hand with the local police," the veteran civil rights activist told a news conference in Harlem to announce the Dec. 13 march.
Appearing with Sharpton were the mother and widow of Eric Garner, 43, a father of six who died in July after police used a banned chokehold while arresting him for selling loose cigarettes.
"This thing is just breaking my heart, just pulling me apart," said Gwen Carr, Garner's mother.
Esaw Garner, his widow, said: "Who's gonna play Santa Claus for my kids this year?" (Writing by Ellen Wulfhorst, Reporting by Frank McGurty; Editing by Sandra Maler)"
Al Sharpton Calls For March In Washington After Eric Garner Ruling
Just like he did in Ferguson. Plans a news conference parading the victims family with him declaring the same rhetoric that the cop was guilty, the grand jury can't be trusted, all before one damn bit of Grand Jury evidence had been released. He used the victims family as sympathy pawns while he made unfounded accusations that fired up the crowd in NYC that later protested, assaulted police and chanted some pretty ugly hatred.
