What Took So Long Reverend?

            After the senseless assassination of two policemen in Brooklyn, Rev. Al Sharpton finally spoke out against the violence connected to the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown.

One quote from him said: “Any use of the names of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, in connection with any violence or killing of police, is reprehensible and against the pursuit of justice in both cases”.

I have one question for him. Where were you during the riots the occurred throughout this country in the wake of the two non-indictments? I may be wrong, but I do not recall you speaking out to end the violence.

Further, I do not see anything in his statements that refer to the officers not being black. This one admission would bring him into more positive feelings for Caucasians.

So Reverend, I ask you again, what took so long to come forward and state that the violence after the grand juries decisions that violence is the wrong way to go?
