I understood your reasoning but what I didn't understand is no matter where Sharpton was or when, both marches were being promoted as Black Lives Matter events in social media. Both marches/rallies/protests had protestors representing the same national activist groups where they have chapters in every major city not making it difficult to rally the troops to make a statement. What I have observed about Sharpton, he is never in the place when the anarchists move into action. They wait till he leaves town as the case in NYC as in the case in Ferguson. He first shows up on the scene with the victims family around him making his claims of injustice, racist cops etc. raising tensions. Then he books it out of there and the anarchists take over. Even with Brown's family around Sharpton calling for calm in a media interview after the verdict was read, after Sharpton left town, we catch Brown's stepfather later on video inciting "burn this bitch down" at a rally. But Sharpton he was long gone. He was back in NYC enjoying fine dining while those he incited to anger were being arrested and thrown into jail. Same MO in NYC with the Garner case. He surrounds himself with the family of the victim at a press conference/rally. At which point he announces he will be in Washington DC for a march for Garner and Brown. Even after all the Grand Jury testimony released proving Wilson's innocence Sharpton keeps ratcheting up the tension by keeping Brown a victim of racist police, a racist prosecutor, and a racist Grand Jury. I posted a video that showed how ignorant these protestors are of the facts that were present at the D.C. rally. The anarchists know not to incite trouble where Sharpton will be. He wasn't in NYC when a group chanted "dead cops". He wasn't there when cops were being spit on, trash thrown at them, and the march shutting down bridges and main arteries by design keeping people from even getting an ambulance if needed and cops being assaulted by protesters the same day. Nope, Sharpton was in DC. When de Blasio called for a halt to protest until the funerals were over of the fallen police officers, Sharpton had a problem with that because he had already planned events. Today NYC is a mess just like Ferguson. But then again whenever Sharpton shows up nothing good happens.
