Ferguson Mayor Sends Message To Al Sharpton That Has The Country Shocked Following the verdict in the Michael Brown case, Ferguson has been in a state of high tension, preparing for the worst, and facing protests and rioting that are leaving the community feeling unsettled and unsafe. Unfortunately, the media seems intent on stirring the controversy. And of course, MSNBC host Al Sharpton is leading the charge when it comes to instigating and race-baiting. According to recent reports, Sharptons presence is not appreciated by all in Ferguson. He has been approached by the Mayor, as well as other community leaders, to step down and stop attempting to fuel the fire of an already uncontrollable situation. Theres a lot of concern among a lot of the African American leaders here, Mayor Knowles told the press. 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 the issues at hand. What do you think? Are Mayor Knowles concerns valid?
