I do think the same people who are outraged about this incident should be outraged about people killing cops. I'm sure many are, and hopefully they're just as vocal about that as they are about this. But I'm also sure that many aren't, and that is unfortunate.
But, I don't want to say that this isn't worthy of outrage because of possible hypocrisy. I'd much rather any such people raise their level of outrage about cop killings than lower their outrage about this.
But about what Al said, I found the comments a bit much. It is a tough line to draw, and maybe he also made it abundantly clear what type of action he's speaking of. But at first glance, those comments seem a bit open-ended for being so inflammatory, and though there may be nothing wrong with his intentions and sentiments, I suspect there are many people who respond to Sharpton's message and may not share his civility. Given his earlier remarks, which I found to be pretty composed, I'm surprised at his statements. Especially considering some of the other bad situations he's found himself in.
