Sharpton at it again, arrested.

NEW YORK - The Rev. Al Sharpton was arrested at the Brooklyn Bridge on Wednesday as he and hundreds of demonstrators blocked traffic to protest the acquittal of three detectives in the 50-bullet shooting of an unarmed black man on his wedding day.

Sharpton, two survivors of the shooting and the slain man's fiancee were among about a dozen people arrested on disorderly conduct charges near the base of the bridge. Police led away demonstrators at several other bridges and tunnels in the city.
The protests were part of a coordinated campaign to urge federal authorities to investigate the November 2006 shooting of Sean Bell. Three officers were acquitted of state charges last month.
Sharpton, shooting survivors Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman, and Bell's fiancee, Nicole Paultre Bell, lined up and peacefully put their hands behind their backs as police put plastic handcuffs on them. Sharpton and Bell were placed in a police vehicle.
The civil rights leader is seeking a federal civil rights probe into Bell's shooting outside a Queens nightclub. The case raised questions about police use of deadly force in minority neighborhoods.
Sharpton had promised recently to "close this city down" with civil disobedience.
Bell was black, as are his friends Benefield and Guzman; the three officers acquitted in the case are Hispanic, black and white.
U.S. attorney spokesman Robert Nardoza said the case was under review, but he declined to comment further.

Sometimes there's not enough time to play around and figure out if you're a good one or a bad one. Sad it's come to that but they're human too.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

I'm not a fan of Sharpton, but I am familiar with the case he is protesting. We should all be very afraid that the police are allowed to do this to people, legal or not.

Sharpton is a media provocateur. In reality, he has NO claim to fame. What good has he ever done for America? NONE. But because he is a loudmouth, the MSM looooooves him. His words are PROVOCATIVE, hence he is a provocateur. His words sell their newspapers. That's all they want: to sell newspapers. And Sharpton is the PERFECT IDIOT to help them. They don't care what he means, they just want SHOCK effect to sell their papers.
The sad thing is that Americans buy it coz all they read is the MSM.
Sharpton is narcissistic and is compelled to do things to keep himself in the media. Why? Because he has mental problem: NARCISSIST. IT IS THE TRUTH. Sharpton has a mental problem. He is a narcissist. I SPIT ON HIM!
HEY, SHARPTON, WHY AREN'T YOU PUSHING FOR JAMIEL'S LAW IN CALIFORNIA? HE WAS A BLACK KID KILLED BY AN ILLEGAL MEXICAN. HOW COME YOU AREN'T ALL OVER THAT???
WHAT?? TOO AFRAID TO RUFFLE THE FEATHERS OF YOUR HISPANIC COHORTS? HUH? I THOUGHT YOU WERE FIGHTING FOR BLACKS?? YOU ARE ONE LAME EXCUSE FOR EXISTENCE. I SPIT ON YOU!PRESS 1 FOR ENGLISH. PRESS 2 FOR DEPORTATION.
