I agree. I''m a white guy and I think the verdict was wrong too. But once Sharpton or Jackson take up the "fight" I think alot of people just think "here we go again". The crime or cause becomes secondary to Sharpton or Jackson''s soundbites. I think they are wasting the attention they are given for self glorification in a vain attempt walk in the foosteps of MLK.

Yes we have enough conspiracy theopries, however to m,any of them are true. I am hoping our elected officials will finally do something before we end up at no return and have a revolution. That is why i urge everyone to right their senattors and tll them to get off their ases and do their jobs now.

Has anyone considered maybe the govt is behind this. If they keep the blacks and the whites at each others throats, then we are less likely to watch what they are doing.

No, I don''t think that is it. Don''t start with all the Conspiracy Theories ... we have enough of those and less than 2% of them are actual.

This imbecile gives black people a bad name. Can''''t anyone stop this idiot from causing all the trouble he causes? it should be a criminal offense to threaten the safety of the citizens of NYC. Why doesn''''t anyone sue him? Considering what the city has been through, the FBI should take him into custody. He is aiding and abetting a possible terrorist threat. He should be apprehended and charged with vocalizing a threat to NYC and the country!!!

Oh, this situation is still in it''s infancy! What you people are witnessing here is the beginning of Domestic Terrorism in this country as it has never been seen before. Sharpton and Jackson are TRYING as hard as they can to "fire-up" the Black population of this nation and nudge them towards violence and terrorism. We are but a few steps away from experiencing a full-blown revolution and any BS from the Black Community will surely lead to a race-war and that is exactly what Sharpton wants!

I agree the verdict was wrong too, and I am a white guy. However, Sharpton is a parasite feeding off his people. Neither he or Jesse Jackson were elected to represent anyone. I wish they would get a real job.

He also threatened a "protest" if Obama doesn''t get the nomination. Big Al is gonna be busy.......

That is if the super delegates aren''t a bunch of scaredy cats. Obama hasn''t won a state since Feb and won Guam by 7 votes. Doesn''t quite sound like the sure thing, he was prior to "Black Liberation Theology" and his bitter comments. So much for being the great uniter.

What a way to lend legitimacy to your protest. Get a clown to lead the protest march. LOL.

This person does not deserve respect,this is the same person that wantd to hang 4 whites in a rape case (Brawly)in N Y to find out the girl lied(case dropped).He with many others just hates whites and there is no other way to put it and our government is so scared a city will burn they always get their way,job, promotion in the military no matter what they will overcome the whites as the song says.It is ashamed America''s fate has come down to this,we are now more Mexican and African then American,That makes us AFRICO now. This man should not even have the right to speak in public with his message of hate.

A man is gunned down on the streets of New York and instead of responsible advocates, Sharpton''s Circus arrives...Where is Obama, Clinton and McCain?...It would be amusing to watch them try and walk between the rain drops on this issue.

And where are these candidates when a farmer is arrested for selling milk?

To answer rodgert''s question is just asking to be called a racist. IT DOESN''T TAKE MUCH FOR THAT TO HAPPEN ANYWAY ON THESE FORUMS, JUST TELL THE TRUTH AND WATCH FOR THE BACKLASH.

This situation shows al and jesse (he''ll be there) at their best. They just relish situations like this. I bet he was wondering when he would work again. Now, I note the fact that the officers were not white doesn''t matter anymore to the professional racists.
Way to go al! Destroy neighborhoods, burn businesses, yep, that always solves problems, doesn''t it.

If you have all the answers then how do you fix this problem ? How is this a racial issue? If you have a legitimate statement and want to be taken seriously then get off the racial kick everytime something happens. Then people might take you serious. I am white but i have black friends. All the facts were not given here so i am niot about to second guess the police or the judge. If there was an injustice i would want it addressed regardless of what race is involved.

Talk about the kettle calling the pot black. You are the racist. Just because you are black and the victims are black does not mean he was murdered. It was two black officers and a Mexican officer who did the shooting, no whites involved. You were not there, the judge weighed the evidence and ruled not guilty. If the judge would have been black you would still be yelling racism. It is time to get off the racism BS and face facts. If the victims had been white i doubt you would be yelling it is an injustice.
