No-but it could be a start. As he is always saying that someone should be held accountable for their actions. Yet he never has.

But why hi-jack a thread so early in the afternoon?;):)

Hijack a thread for something that isn't just a personal jab. Then I'll be more receptive to your rants.

I have nothing personal against you.
I do not know Rev Al personally either. And while there have been times that he was the person who may have been in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing, there have been times that was not the case.

I just recall rather well what happened when that occurred.
End of my end of hi-jack.

You don't need to know him personally to attack him on a personal-professional level. You quoted what he said in the Sean Bell case and struggled to criticize it based on something that happened 21 years ago. Do better.

Every champion of civil rights has and will champion the rights of an INDIVIDUAL who may not have deserved it (if Tawana did lie, as people concluded that she did). The CAUSE fights on and does not require a formal apology from Sharpton to do so.

The deflectors needs to quit deflecting.

Reading Al Sharpton being described as a "champion" of anything makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

These?
"The Rev. Al Sharpton accompanied Bell family members to the cemetery, and said later that they will join him on Saturday at a rally protesting the verdict. He said he had spoken to the governor and the mayor, and that he believed a federal civil rights prosecution of the officers would be appropriate.
“This verdict is one round down, but the fight is far from over,” Mr. Sharpton said.
He promised protests “to demonstrate to the federal government that New Yorkers will not take this abortion of justice lying down.”
New Yorkers or the family looking for $50 million dollars?
And this from the person who has yet to pay a dime or do any time for the part he played in the Tawana Brawley matter.


Yup...and the A train pulls in precisely on schedule as predicted....I knew Rev Al would pop up sooner or later.

That's personal. ;)

I'm not a fan of Sharpton's style but I won't deny that his voice gets heard FOR A REASON.

NappyBison 04-25-2008 04:22 PM

I must admit, I wasn't too surprised when I heard the judge's ruling :( Aside from the fact that he claims the prosecution hurt themselves with the evidence they presented, I don't see how that justifies letting these officers off. From my understanding, Bell didn't ID himself in a "timely manner" and the story continues from there. I just hope this case doesn't get flip-flopped around in civil court, but I know it probably will :mad:

RELOAD CLIP

Al Sharpton's involvement with Towana Brawley does NOT change the fact that a young man lies DEAD for the crime of attending a bachelor party the night before his wedding. Either come with something relevant or go away. This is too important to dismiss with semantics.

From the get go Mayor Bloomberg called the police's action excessive(& I give him props for that as he took a lot of flack for calling a spade a spade especially since under Guiliani & Koch that would NEVER have happened). This ruling is just another example of protecting the old boys club & not addressing the cancer that permeates the thinking process of our finest in blue.

Michael Vick got jail time for killing a damn dog.

Martha Stewart got jail time for profiting from stock tips.

Wesley Snipes is about to serve time for not paying taxes.

Foxy Brown served time and no one DIED from her actions.

These cops wrongly stopped someone KILLED him and are found not guilty of anything?

There is NO amount of money that will ease the pain that the Bell family or his daughters feel. They would gladly not have $50M to have him back alive.

The words "Stop police" and flash a dang badge and ALL of this could have been avoided.

Yes, because accusations of racism are extremely stigmatizing, and he is prone to making them.
