The family of Michael Brown, who were flanked by Rev. Al Sharpton and their legal team, Benjamin Crump and Anthony Gray, held a live press conference to voice their disapproval of the grand jury’s decision not indict the police officer who shot and killed the 18-year-old man a few months back.
If you were expecting for the presser to be racially tinged, well, you weren’t disappointed.Benjamin Crump started it all off by questioning the judicial system and stated that this case should not have gone to the biased grand jury, rather directly to a trial.
Crump said that Michael Brown and “others of color” who have been killed by police, can be heard “crying from the grave” because of the biased grand jury decision in favor of the police.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Crump’s legal partner, Anthony Gray echoed his sentiments, adding that there should be a new law put in place mandating body cameras for all police officers.
Gray then stepped away from the podium to allow the grand poobah of racial division, Al Sharpton, who then proceeded to incite more racially-charged riots.
Sharpton said that he has “never seen a prosecutor hold a press conference to discredit the victim,” adding that the decision to release the grand jury’s decision after dark was both “irresponsible” and “provocative.”Sharpton does make a good point by questioning the time the decision was announced. Still, his and Crump’s racially divisive rhetoric have been the real post decision “provacative” action.
And then Sharpton dug deep into his arsenal of racist remarks, pulling out his ace-in-the-hole, the Rodney King case.
Yup, Sharpton likened this case to that of Rodney King in Los Angeles, California.
Earlier in the day, Missouri Lt. Governor Peter Kinder told Fox News that Governor Nixon kept him in the dark with the decision to deploy the National Guard, saying that he has not had communication with the Governor“Before you think this is over, remember what happened in Rodney King,” he said, vowing not to give up in the face of a defeat in the legal system.-Source
