Ferguson Mayor Destroys Sharpton: Stop Inciting Racial Hatred And Go Home There is no question that the situation in Ferguson, Missouri has reached an all time by, and Americans have been standing by anxiously awaiting what will comes of the protests, riots, and looting that began when an unarmed black teenager was shot and killed by a police officer last week. The police response to the action has been hard-handed, with heavily armed police using extreme lengths like tear gas and rubber bullets. Of course, the last thing the town needs is someone like Al Sharpton to come into the mix, but that is exactly what the instigator decided to do this past week. Theres a lot of concern among a lot of the African American leaders here, Mayor James Knowles said of Sharptons presence. I have the concern that well lose sight of this young man and the tragedy and become clearly a national spectacle, instead of focusing on this young man and the issues at hand. Sometimes star power is not always a good thing. Sharpton arrived last week to meet with the victims family and lawyer, and went on to give a passionate speech to the crowd of protestors. What do you think? Will Sharpton and his racist remarks only make things worse?
