Sharpton Arrested As Hundreds Protest Justified NYC Police Shooting - UPDATE With Video
NEW YORK - The Rev. Al Sharpton has been arrested at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge in a protest over the acquittal of three police officers involved in the 50-bullet shooting of an unarmed black man.
Sharpton, two survivors of the shooting and the slain man’s fiancee were arrested Wednesday in one of a series of demonstrations calling for a federal investigation into the November 2006 shooting.
Sharpton had called for acts of civil disobedience across the city. Several other demonstrators have been arrested as they stopped traffic at bridges and tunnels.
As police keep their distance, organizers are giving protesters instructions on how to behave when arrested.
The three officers were acquitted of state charges last month.

Responsible leadership? This is just a step or two from inciting a riot. If he blocked my path home, I’d sue his ass.

May 7th, 2008 at 4:26 pmSharpton belongs in prison, not jail. He should have been in for the past 20 odd years.
May 7th, 2008 at 5:12 pmAnd he is a reverand of what?
He must compute his time behind bars as so much jail time equals so much money that he will make for himself at any particular “racial” event.
Play the race card Al, get rich quick, just like Jesse!
Al, just STFU!
Well, it’s about goddamn time sharpton went to jail. That miserable POS should be left to rot there.
