After a jury acquitted three New York policeman for killing black crime suspect Sean Bell in self-defense, Al Sharpton led an angry mob shouting “Kill the police!” through the city.
Sharpton urged people to return for a meeting this coming week “to plan the day that we will close this city down” with the kind of “massive civil disobedience” once led by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Heather Mac Donald details the Bell case here. Two of the three policeman charged with killing were, in fact, black.
Conservatives go after Sharpton as though obscenities like this would disappears if only we discredited the “race hustlers.” However, Sharpton can always stir up a mob that’s apparently all too eager to be “hustled.” When will Americans plainly admit that the problem is not the hustlers, it’s the race?
Due to computer difficulties, I could not complete the action alert I had planned to publish today. I’ll have it up tomorrow.
