Rallies for bucks and babes.
Ah, Jessie. You are late to the party.
Jesse be slippin’. Da Rev Al “lollipop head” Sharpton done grabbed all the headlines and is gettin’ away with all the bling.
What is it about these so-called civil rights leades who just have to remain on the wrong side of history!
> who was killed by a police officer last April.
Yes, and the Milwaukee Police Chief fired the officer because he dared to treat poor Dontre as a “criminal”. Tsk, tsk.
“He added that he plans to travel to Milwaukee to hold a march and protest and to continue pressing police and lawmakers for change. Jackson didn’t say when those events would take place, but said it would be “soon.”
“Dontre Hamilton, a black 31-year-old, was shot and killed by former officer Christopher Manney, who is white, in a downtown Milwaukee park in April. Police Chief Edward Flynn fired Manney in October, saying he ignored department policy and treated Hamilton as a criminal by frisking him. Flynn has said Hamilton resisted arrest and that he and Manney exchanged punches before Hamilton grabbed the officer’s baton and hit him with it. Manney then shot Hamilton 14 times.”
“Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm announced last week that he would not file charges against Manney, saying the officer acted in self-defense. Hours later, U.S. Attorney James Santelle announced that federal investigators will review the shooting to determine if Manney violated federal civil rights laws.”

Take it to Chicago.
To think Fox News invites that “30 something” skanky white liberal chick that screwed Jesse Jackson years ago on their shows is mindblowing.
You don’t take a cop’s weapon from him and use it on him or even try to do so. Any weapon, anywhere, anytime.
Killed in April. Agitation doesn’t start till almost January?
Jesse must need a cash infusion.
RAINBOW PUSH
Video news:
I didn’t realize we had a civil right to beat a cop. That’s good to know.
Appears most were on the stage. :o/
"You need to move that camera in for my closeup."
Following the news, Je$$e must have told his staff to find some case, any case, where an “unarmed black teen was shot by a white cop”, to get him back in the spotlight that $harpton was selfishly hogging.
The fact they had to go back 8 months to find an example, and a bad one at that, shows just how rare these incidents really are.
Why are they wearing those bright targets on their coats?
200 people, many of whom are Operation Push, is hardly a crowd.
They want revenge, they don’t want “justice”. Justice is a legal term that contains conditions that can’t be met using their thinking. Predetermined assumption of guilt, immediate execution and seizure of assets.
Guess there’s not enough “civil unrest” in that area so the race hustler Jackson comes to stir the pot a bit in hopes of “energizing the troops”.
