Sharpton is nothing more than an opportunist.
You are right. I cant believe Michael Jackson was best friends with this guy lmao

So when the officer kneeled on the neck of a suspect long enough to cause a medical incident it was ok?
@Stephen Estabrooks or the massive amount of fentanyl he took that was ok ? One less addict
Of course Al Sharptons there 🙄
George Kirby violence and drug free
8 minutes of non silent apparently

They didn’t say it was for silence. It was to show how long he was on his neck and how can someone be so I humane to do that to someone.
Dude is so phony. He’ll hop back in his Mercedes parked around the corner and disappear to his next photo op.
to be fair, its an incredibly oppressive Mercedes. poor guy.
Lol

@Griffith Uchiha says a liberal keyboard warrior
i agree raynus
I breath just fine. But im not a doped up druggie criminal.
Yeah, it was the victim’s fault – it always is when cops are involved.
But the knee on his neck for 8m had nothing to do with it? Illogical bigots like you turn away from what is in plain sight and come up with unproven drug theories instead.
The pressure cooker that jurey is in,they will never speak what’s in their heart,only what the mob demands.
@yourmanwatson grow up.
@ub2bn Grow a moral compass
@yourmanwatson o.k., hero.
@ub2bn Compared to you I guess..
@yourmanwatson most definitely. you are a hero and a great warrior.
Another phony having doing his thing for the camera
David Dorn is not forgotten.
Remember when Al Sharpton riled up a crowd in Crown Heights back in the 90s?
Al Sharpton is the worlds biggest RACIST.
The idea that this guy would care if it wasn’t political is ridiculous.
George rolling in his grave right this family making money off his death
Quick photo op, then back in the Bentley and of to cause more racial division.
He knows he’s on camera
Have they picked the lucky cities that will be chosen for “reparations”
