What are the details of these cases? Why did a 7 year old die? Was she a human shield?
I find it hard to believe that police officers deliberately opened fire on a tiny child.
Leave it to the good Reverend to never lose an opportunity to exploit a tragedy.
Just another good "community organizer" doing his job!
Sharpton; Jackson are examples of people who are left with no shame and any other civilized society would have banished them from the public arena a long time ago. They make their money by shakedowns and thuggish rabble-rousing. Isn’t there at least one black leaders who can stand up to these chalatons?
Accidental discharge hit the kid.
It went from the ‘cycle of ‘violence’ to the ‘spiral of violence.’
Rev Al smells political/racist/financial opportunity like a blow fly smells rotten meat.
I can only recall one: Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson.
Maybe Al could attack the mayor of Detroit.
Oh wait.......
The little girl was not deliberately shot.
She had the misfortune to be inside a house that was raided by the police looking for a murderer.
The police threw a ‘flash bang grenade’ into the home. The rest of the story is contradicted by everyone.
The little girl was sleeping on a couch near the windows where the grenade entered the first floor apartment.
We really have no corroborated details about how the gun ‘accidently’ fired and she was killed.
Ridiculously enough there was an A&E team filing for a reality show when the police attempted to catch the murderer who was believed to be inside that building.
The entire episode may or may not be on film. The film has not been made public.
I had him in mind-but he’s not yet risen to the status of a national leader because he doesn’t have the masses behind him on account of his Republican leanings and therein lies the problem- as HRC might say this is a plantation problem.
“We’ve all done something that contributed to this.”

And I’d say you, Reverend, have done more than your fair share.
You’ll notice that he pointed a finger in the direction of a wealthier neighborhood as an example of where it wouldn’t have happened.
In a twisted sense he’s right but he’ll never put it all together. Things like this are less likely but not impossible in Bloomfield hills because Bloomfield Hills doesn’t have near the crime problem and police tend to be a bit more laid back because of it.
I bet a cop hasn’t pulled a gun in my little town in 50 years or more. It isn’t because we’re wealthy, its because we don’t have the crime.
Wonder if the same standards would apply to one of us "untrained professionals"
Guns don't "accidentally" go off, this cop had his finger on the trigger with no sighted target, that's a big no, no in gun handling and safety.
Just sayin.
The black/hispanic communities need to get a grip on witnessing and coming forward.
They live & DIE by the policy of “I’m no snitch”.
40 witnesses to a multiple killing in Oakland, in broad daylight, and they all turn into “see no evil-hear no evil-speak no evil”.
The gangs are running the city communities. It is a cesspool where the ‘victims’ are also part of the problem.
Their ‘code of silence’ has to be completely frustrating to any & all LEO’s in the entire country.
How about JC Watts? But I haven’t seen him in awhile...
“Turning on a light & calling for the people to come out”.
Rev Al has never gone on a ride-along with the cops, has he?
Even if he was to watch “COPS” on Fox every weekend, he might learn something.
4 Oakland officers lost their lives to one killer last year when 2 officers tried to stop his car. Broad daylight.
