NEW YORK — AP — Hundreds of angry people marched through Harlem on Saturday (April 26th) after the Rev. Al Sharpton promised to "close this city down" to protest the acquittals of three police detectives in the 50-shot barrage that killed a groom on his wedding day and wounded two friends.
"We strategically know how to stop the city so people stand still and realize that you do not have the right to shoot down unarmed, innocent civilians," Sharpton told an overflow crowd of several hundred people at his National Action Network office in the historically black Manhattan neighborhood. "This city is going to deal with the blood of Sean Bell."
Sharpton was joined by the family of 23-year-old Sean Bell - a black man - and a friend of
The rally at Sharpton's office was followed by a 20-block march down
Fifty of the marchers carried white placards bearing big black numbers for each of the police bullets fired at
Sharpton urged people to return for a meeting this coming week "to plan the day that we will close this city down" with the kind of "massive civil disobedience" once led by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
"They never accused Sean Bell of doing anything. Then why is he dead?" Sharpton asked, his voice roaring with anger. Authorities "have shown now that they will not hold police accountable. Well, guess what? If you won't, we will!"
"Shut it down! Shut it down!" the crowd chanted, standing up and applauding wildly.

Today, April 28th, I witnessed the most arrogant, divisive and racist comments I have ever seen in a national forum. They were delivered in full view of a world-wide audience at the National Press Club in
Change. That is the war cry of the Obama campaign to rally the leftist extremists to this battle. Change that will bring all the latent vengeful black anger to the front pages of this once tranquil country. Hate for whites. Hate for Police. Hate for the government of all the people, but love for government for the poor, downtrodden blacks. Whites are guilty for all the problems in the black community. They must pay. What better way to begin this change than to put one of “their own” in the “White” House. I’m sure if that happens, it will quickly be re-named the Black House.
The “land of the free and the brave” will no longer be worth living in when the black cultural experience becomes the norm… it will become a third-world, uneducated, life is not worth a bucket of spit slumland just like those pathetic African countries whose “citizens” are in a constant war with one another while “living” the black cultural experience that “Reverend” Wright is so vociferously defending.
Just you wait…
