BENJAMIN CRUMP: It was 162 years ago, about 10 miles, Pastor Jones, from this great building where we say our final respects to young Michael Brown Jr. Maxine Waters, they say that it’s still referred to as the old courthouse where the Missouri Supreme Court issued the Dred Scott decision, Reverend Jackson. And the substance, Reverend Al, of that decision was that a person of African descent could not, nor were they ever to be considered a citizen pursuant to the United States Constitution. Now, one could logically conclude, Bishop Jakes, that this follows the precedents set by the 1787 three-fifths amendment that said an African American was to be considered three-fifths of a man. But we declare here today, as we pay our final respects to Michael Brown Jr., that he was not three-fifths of a citizen. He was an American citizen. And we will not accept three-fifths justice. We will demand equal justice for Michael Brown Jr.! So with that legal reference, I bring to you one of the most influential civil rights leaders of our history, Reverend Al Sharpton.
REV. AL SHARPTON: This is about justice. This is about fairness. And America is going to have to come to terms with, there’s something wrong that we have money to give military equipment to police forces, but we don’t have money for training and money for public education and money to train our children. America, how do you think we look when the world can see you can’t come up with a police report, but you can find a video? How do you think we look when young people marched nonviolently asking for the land of the free and the home of the brave to hear their cry, and you put snipers on the roof and pointed guns at them? How do we look? How do we look when people that support the officer—and they have a right to do that and an obligation, if they feel that—but if they support him, they’re supporters, but if we come to support the family, we’re dividing the country? What does God require of us?
In three weeks, we saw Marlene Pinnock, a woman in Los Angeles, laid out on the freeway, Congresswoman Maxine Waters. A California Highway Patrolman hit her 15 times on video, with no weapon in her hand, nothing, no threat to her. Right after that, a man, they say that he had loosie cigarettes, and they put an illegal chokehold on him. Man videoed it. Eleven times, he said, "I couldn’t breathe." And the man, the policeman, wouldn’t let him go. Later that week, we see Michael laying on the ground. America, it’s time to deal with policing! We are not the haters; we’re the healers!
What does it require of us? We can’t have a fit. We’ve got to have a movement. A fit, you get mad and run out for a couple of nights. A movement means we’ve got to be here for the long haul and turn our chance into change, our demonstration into legislation. We have got to stay on this so we can stop this!
I’m thinking about having a brown movement. It will only last long enough for me to flush.
“What does God require of us?”
If you’d ever studied the Bible... REVRUNT SHARPTON..you would KNOW
Hussein obamar is trying so hard to force an MLKjr moment on us. He would be thrilled to have a few more Michael Browns and Trayvons.
How about moving your butts off welfare and food stamps and stop having children out of wedlock?
The Supreme Court decided 7-2 against Scott. Chief Justice Taney was a Democrat. The six concurring justices were Democrats or appointed by Democrat presidents. The two dissenting votes come from a Republican and a Whig.
Thug Rights Movement
Why not a spot on Mount Rushmore for the “gentle giant.” Does it have to be limited to presidents?
Enduring at least until the next election.
Here is what’s wrong.
Lionizing thugs.
Best internet video ever!
I`m sorry this fellow died, it`s to bad that he was so aggressive, he basically committed suicide by my take.
Hopefully the toxicology report shows PCP or something for the sake of the officer, even if it does not, the guy was clearly unsafe for the general public, we witnessed it moments before his death in robbery.
If toxicology report shows something heavy, it wont phase the Big Mike supporters, they will say it has absolutely nothing to do with the shooting.
After all He was just sharing Christ with others.
