Reverend Al Sharpton, accompanied by the major candidates for New York City mayor, led a rally Saturday in support of a mother who says her black son was murdered last year by a white police officer.
“We still have to fight!” Sharpton said as the candidates — including the embattled Anthony Weiner — applauded, according to the Long Island Newsday. Sharpton has not made an endorsement in the mayoral race.
Last week, a grand jury in the Bronx decided there was not enough evidence to re-indict officer Richard Haste in the death of Ramarley Graham. The teen was shot and killed by Haste, who said he thought Graham was armed after he had attempted to elude police by running into his home.
Following the decision, Graham’s mother, Constance Malcom, turned to Facebook to express her outrage that a cop “who murders innocent people of color” was permitted to “walk free.”
I read this story and it's plain as day the officer thought he was about to be shot. What was he supposed to do, just stand there while the little thug killed him?
I'm really sick of Al Sharpton and his hate campaign, especially since he hasn't said a word about the white kid getting assaulted on the bus by three black thugs. He'll probably show his face if the three black thugs get any punishment and talk about the injustice of it all.

There's no money in it for him. His supporters/base not only don't care about a white kid getting beaten up,they wouldn't give a damn if every white boy in the world were murdered. They would stand up and cheer.
They would want to save the blonde women,though.
