Race-baiting civil rights “activist” Al Sharpton is at it again, taking advantage of tragedies to further his twisted agenda.
Social media has been in an uproar since a black man was killed by a police officer in Baton Rouge – and by “unarmed” I mean he had a gun in his pocket – so good ol’e Al is now making his way to Louisiana to cause more pain in an already horrible situation.
From Hayride:
Al Sharpton is coming to Baton Rouge to meet with the family of Alton Sterling, the long-time civil rights activist revealed in a blog post Thursday for the Huffington Post. A date for his visit was not specified.
“While responding to the rallying cry in Baton Rouge, I was shocked to see yet another incident in Minnesota, this time involving the death of Philando Castile by police — whose aftermath was also caught on video,” Sharpton said in the post.
He said such tragedies are “a national problem that requires national reform of police culture and the criminal justice system itself. Nothing short of that will turn this calamity around.”
More from Huffington Post:
This year alone, there have been over 550 people killed by police according to “The Counted” data tracker by The Guardian. When the rest of the world looks at us to uphold the values of democracy, freedom and justice, we cannot fail our own citizens. This is a systemic problem across the country and requires a revamp from the top down. We need national reform for a national disease. It’s Louisiana and Minnesota today, and it could be anywhere else tomorrow. Our communities, our mothers, fathers and grandparents are tired of telling their children to be fearful of those that should be serving and protecting us. And they are tired of watching their loved ones die at the hands of those who have such little regard for the value of our lives.
While technology and social media have played a great role in disseminating information, raising awareness and galvanizing people, we need reform measures on the books without delay. We will not preach our way out of this, we will not march our way out, we will not tweet our way out, nor hashtag our way out. Rather, it will take all of the above along with national legislative action to change the structure and culture of policing, and enact true accountability. Instead of people competing for face time after a horrific incident like that of Alton Sterling or Philando Castile, it is change time. After continual death and a lack of justice, people demand action; our electeds and those running for any office must provide an adequate solution. We cannot continue to deal with each loss on a case-by-case basis.
A systemic problem requires systemic reform.
This man has too much time on his hands and what I find absolutely fascinating is how anyone can look up to this monster. What do you think?
