48. fed up with white trash?...try to stop playing the race card. Take responsibility for your actions and stop blaming the "white devil" for your failures and lack of ambition. It's black people that keep racism against their own alive. Why not just try to be a NORMAL PERSON instead of a BLACK person and be acountable for all you do in this life instead of blaming everyone else for your problems. Damnn..why can't you just be a proud American and not a person identified by their race? Is that all you are? Just BLACK?

51. First off all the people who are writing the racist comments soung ignorant.if it was a white guy shot by a black cop the cop would be on death road. Al sharpton has his ways but he is for the cause. Imagine if it was your father,husband, or the man u were about to marry. Get real and grow up. I really hope we have a black president then lets see what would be said then

53. Sharpton is a retard. Who in the media doesn't laugh at him? He is made fun of on every news show he's ever been on. They interview him and let hin play the race card and joke about it as soon as he's off the air. Show me one time when he was ever taken seriously. Don't drop the soap in jail Rev. Al. Wonder when he'll be on the TV and playing the race card for is arrest. You know it's coming.

54. They ALL should have been run over, had garbage thrown at them, etc. Thats what you get when you go looking for drugs, guns, and whores hours before you marry your baby mama (of your 2 kids, not one but 2).

56. So where was Al when OJ got off?? He sure as all hell wasn't out there protesting THAT VERY WRONG VERDICT! He is a very evil man and needs to be taken out. He doesn't want for Obama to win the election because that would put him and his buddy Jesse out of business........the racist business.

57. Mslady - First of all, it's death row not death road. Secondly, it's a sad day in this country when people vote for someone based solely on him being partially black. Educate yourself and then vote. Don't vote merely because of skin color - that is ignorant. And lastly, those that constantly victimize themselves while pointing their finger at a white person need to take a good, honest look at themselves. They are the true racists.

58. What a bunch of STUPID MF''s. When a cop sais let me see your hands do not reach in
you waist band and make a sudden move. I have see many episodes of shows like
"cops" (so it must be true) where I would of shot numerous people for sudden and
provocative movements.

59. Why is Al doing all of this?? The police officers were found not guilty in court. Why whine and complain??

60. Post 911 city and he's worried about shutting the city down again. Why didn't he protest the fact that Renato Scantlebury was killed on the streets of Bushwick by another kid. That was black on black. The cops don't have enough problems to deal with? Im glad the TV news isn't giving this too much coverage. GO NYPD!!! Thanks for all you do.
