Sharpton was part of a group of hundreds who were protesting the acquittal of three New York City police detectives who fatally shot Sean Bell 50 times in 2006.

Sharpton most likely will receive a citation and then be released.

121. Hey Sharpton!!!
Have you considered moving your little circus to PHILLY??
(I personally do not have a problem with the lady being upset of the outcome of her husbands trial and letting it be known but she lost credibility with Sharpton the horses ass.)

122. This creeep has gotten away with far too much for far too long. Sure, I agree that the three cops got away with Murder (Justified, don't you know) but this creep and his side kick are race hustlers and need to be stopped. By the time I post this the creeeep will be out. When o.j. killed Nicole, and the verdict came back as such, where was ole al and jesty? This racist pig needs to stop trying to incite race wars, a little time in the pokey might just help the demonic creeeep.

124. WAKE UP. It's not about Mr. Sharpton and all about Sean Bell. Mr. Sharpton, I have to admit some of your past antics have been a bit over the top but I am proud for your courage to continue to speak and act for a dead man, Sean Bell, who is the victim here of obvious excessive force (even Mayor Bloomberg agrees). Mr. Sharpton, May I congratulate on time well spent.

125. #121, my sentiments exactly! And thanks for including his middle name that he never wants mentioned.

As for Sharpton, lock him up and throw away the key. His poison has sickened this city for decades. Enough already. All he is accomplishing is fueling racial tensions, and something is going to blow as a result.

I don't know what's going on in this country, but the America we grew up in is slipping away, and we are letting it. When the day comes that morons such as Sharpton are running things, everyone will have that trapped in the headlights expression on their face. And when they scream "How did this happen?" no one will understand them because "They" wont speak English.

127. 77. To: 5thWardTx
May I ask, Why DO Black People play the Music in their Cars So Loud?? I Mean, why does someone need to have the music playing So Loud, that anyone and everyone within a 5 miles radius can hear it also??? Seriously.. It's ignorant, especially at 3:00 in the morning on a weeknight. :P I mean, have some consideration for others. Personally, I think pulling someone over for that is totally justified.

Thank you. How about making this kind of childish, ignorant, look-at-me crap a violation with a big fat ticket? THAT sounds good to me.

128. 2. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving ass..................if it had been a white man and the cops were black we would not be having a discussion about it!!!
I am amazed this guy hasn't gotten himself offed!

2 of the cops were black and one was white. I dont think he's making it a black/white thing..Its more about the excessive force of the police...50 times! come on it only takes one or two bullets to stop someone..

129. This protest was not about the color of the police officers or the victims. And anyone who didn't know the races of either is becasue you get your news from sites like this that do not give all of the facts. The protest was about the fact that these cops no matter what color they were, were not held accountable for their actions. Everytime the police abuse their power does not mean it is always against a black person. They abuse their power with people of all races. For some odd reason even if the story is not a racial issue, the posters on this site seem to make it just that. I am so glad that the younger generation is not sharing the views of some of you older set in your ways ignorant generation. That is why we will see Obama in office in 2009. Because our country is in need of a change and the next generation is ready for just that! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!

132. Hey retard as you put it. WAKE UP is is about race period. Dont think for one minute A Sharrpton is on a white persons side this is deep and you know this. I know some of the cops that shot this young man were black . Look at what Al S does to people lives period. He puts them up on display like meat and says buy it. I am not buying it. Wake up retard.

133. Here's my problem.

1, For some reason sharpton IS making this about race even tho 2 of the three cops were black. So where's the race issue? Suddenly black cops aren't black if they shoot a black man?

2. The actually are following police protocol. Overkill, maybe... but cops are taught that if they have to shoot to save their life, they shoot to kill.

3. I believe the cops when they say the guy was acting like he had a gun. If you are a hard working man or woman with a spouse and kids at home... do you want to risk that maybe he's trash talking?

4. The guy tried to run the cops down not once.... but TWICE... and the cop he was trying to run down was the plain clothes black cop, so again, I can't see how this is about race in Sharpton's mind.

5. This guy was no saint. I mean.. wow. Guy was getting married. Lets give him a pass on any and all criminal activity.

and for those who keep saying if his were a black cop who shot a white guy the cop would have been thrown away for life... how do you get that?

Look at the group of black kids who ganged on and almost KILLED one white kid who didn't have a chance to fight back or defend themselves. Suddenly the black kids were the victims and got off scotfree. (One of whom went on to be arrested again for violence.)

I GUARANTEE you if it were a group of white kids, they'd have been convicted, and Sharpton who cried foul when the black kids were tried as adults... would have demanded the most serious adult punishment for the white boys. THAT'S how society works today.

Now, am I saying racsim doesn't exist and all cops are good? HELL NO! Look at that beating that happened recently. Or the racist comments by Rev. Wright against whites

There's racism on all sides. But people like Sharpton have to start picking their fights, and fighting against TRUE racsim whether its against Blacks, whites, hispanics, asians or whatever... Or he'll make REAL racism claims look bad. Remember the story of the boy who cried wolf? (And boy is not a racist term, thats the actual name of the story.) Cry wolf too many times, and pretty soon people will stop believing you.

134. TROUBLE MAKER.

135. I also know some of the officers were black. Al Sharpton is no good no matter what. He is trouble all over. He stirs hate. Look at these posts and what he causes . I wish everyone could get along but go to the black race they dont want to. Al Sharpton is one of them who will not stop spreading hate. Yes i feel it is overkilll on this man,s life who was shot BUT that is up to his family and loved ones to take it up. Sharpton keep your damn nose out of it. Period.
