Veteran civil rights leader Al Sharpton, who has tried to play the statesman during heated protests over police shootings, now faces accusations of incitement after the killings last weekend of two officers in New York City.
The Rev. Sharpton has worked over the years to shed his reputation as a firebrand, and in recent months, he had provoked the ire of younger protesters who favor a more confrontational approach. Sharpton, for instance, angered some young activists by rebuffing them when they unexpectedly asked to speak at a march his nonprofit group organized in Washington.
But after the deaths of the two officers, momentum has shifted away from the protesters, at least temporarily, and now some of the most intense pressure is coming from those who say police have been unfairly vilified.

The pernicious lies told by Sharpton, Holder, and Obama, regarding Martin and Brown are the cause of this mayhem. They have organized and urged the chaos with their words and deeds. They all have blood on their hands.
Lies Lies.and .double talk..
covertly and overtly fomenting chaos and destruction
thats old Al!
You told the absolute truth.
charles manson is doing BIG TIME...while the left reveres sharpton...
Yet somehow he’s called “reverend” and he has a tv show. Who props up this evil man?
Almost 50 companies – including PepsiCo, General Motors, Wal-Mart, FedEx, Continental Airlines, Johnson & Johnson and Chase – and some labor unions sponsored Sharpton’s National Action Network annual conference in April.
Terrified of negative publicity, fearful of a consumer boycott or eager to make nice with the civil-rights activist, CEOs write checks, critics say, to NAN and Sharpton – who brandishes the buying power of African-American consumers. In some cases, they hire him as a consultant.

Maybe we should adopt a tactic of the left and boycott these companies.
Think of the damage done by Sharpton’s lies. A few: Brawley, Crown Heights, Duke lacrosse, and now cop killers.
He should face a hell of allot more than that.
I think we ought to let those who’ve paid this punk off...that we’re READY to boycott them...until they forcefully repudiate him
| The police acted stupidly If I had a son justifiable anger warns police of excessive force against protesters |
Fast & Furious depended upon the murder of random innocents trained protesters in Florida trained protesters in Missouri ongoing persecution by "civil rights investigations" |
half a century of lies works with Holder in Florida and Missouri to lead mobs |
Just like the lunatics at the Post to pretend to be criticizing Sharpton but instead give him the kneepads as usual. The lib bait and switch tactic at work here.
I also wonder why they pay two idiots instead of one to write this trash.
the incredible growing head should face more than criticism...
Obama was clearly disgusted when the Ferguson grand jury returned a no-bill. He said those who disagreed with the grand jury were justifiably angry. Obama was directly attacking the grand jury. He has since met with Sharpton and they are pushing for some sort of federal review “task force” which will investigate all police shootings, taking it out of the hands of local/state.
This man attacks the structure of government.
IMHO, he should be facing charges, not criticism.
Where’s the DA.
we know there the JUST US department is but they arent the be all end all.
where ARE the DA-S..plural
LOL,,,
This article is all about praise for the charlatan and little about criticism.
Equates to sharpton getting a smack on his hieny and its back to business
The right reverend’s name should never be mentioned in polite company or in the news media, thus neutering another arrogant example of what, I cannot say, but surely not anything deserving of any notoriety whatsoever.
